The narrative around DEI has shifted in Hollywood. We have white ladies (Sarah Paulson) saying that they’re not being given the same opportunities handed to their Black male counterparts (Sterling Brown & Courtney Vance). NO Black actors won at the Emmys despite multiple nominations. Mike Tomlin, one of the few Black NFL coaches, has some words of wisdom for how to refocus our DEI efforts.

When Honoring Chris Brown Becomes a Political Crisis
Sep 17, 202655 min
Chris Brown was honored with a congressional record at a concert in Dallas by Rep Jasmine Crockett and Texas State Rep Venton Jones. It has become a debacle after outraged victims of domestic abuse spoke out against Mr. Brown, who infamously beat Rihanna and other romantic partners. Rep Jones has apologized while Crockett is standing on business–this is an excellent moment to educate about OPTICS (and talk about who deserves forgiveness). ProPublica has reported that Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding was secretly bankrolled by a Russian oligarch close to president Putin. Don Jr. and his new wife Bettina admitted to everything, and said they don’t understand why it’s a big deal... Join hosts Angela Rye and Bakari Sellers for episode 149 of Native Land Pod. We are 47 days away from the midterm elections. Welcome home y’all! FYSA HEADLINES The Supreme Court has blocked Trump’s plan to control mail-in voting through the US Postal Service. Elon Musk’s America PAC sets up a fake voter registration website to harvest data. Senator Mitch McConnell returns to the Senate looking like a ghost of his former self. Employees and CEOs from the big AI companies are saying that we need to pause AI development but Trump says we need to move full speed ahead.

Millions Removed From the Voter Rolls. Are You Still Registered? | Angela Rye SoloPod
Sep 15, 202645 min
Millions of voter registrations have been removed from the rolls in Florida and South Carolina since 2022. In Florida, more than 2.3 million registrations were removed between 2022 and July 2026. In South Carolina, nearly 1.2 million registrations were removed between 2022 and 2025. We’ll be joined by Chanae Jackson, Organizing Director for Florida For All, to discuss voter-roll removals in Florida and South Carolina, and what voters should know about maintaining their registration. Christina Cue from the ACLU also joins us to discuss the voter-roll purges in South Carolina. And we’ll be joined by Congressman Bennie Thompson, Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus Institute, to discuss the CBC Institute’s Go Vote Initiative and its efforts to increase voter engagement and participation.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
