Episode #9
OTT #213 - How much would it cost to make Jurassic Park?
Oct 2, 202640 minS26
This week, Alex & Dan revisit the iconic islands of Jurassic Park to discuss what it would ACTUALLY take to make it in real life... From buying islands, the greatest scientific minds, to autonomous tour vehicles and corporate away-day suites... the dynamic duo of the south coast discuss the total bill for making one of these wonders of popular culture. They then cast their attention to whether its ACTUALLY feasible - because Colossal is doing it with the Wooly Mammouth and Elon Musk (isn't it always??) is talking about adding that to his repertoire - but as Ian Malcolm famously said - just because you can doesn't mean you should... Grab your cheque book, because it's going to cost you! #GITS #Onthetopic #TWRAD #Southcoastsounds #spotify #podcast #film #filmreviews #JP #JurassicPark #disaster #realworld #science #dinosaurs #popularculture # To be part of the episode, simply leave a comment in the box below this episode in Spotify!

Episode #8
OTT #212 - What's up with the Large Hadron Collider?
Sep 25, 202647 minS26
This week, Alex & Dan discuss one of the most popular icons of modern conspiracy theories and cutting-edge scientific discovery - the Large Hadron Collider! From finding the Higgs Boson to a new way of explaining our universe, it is doing some truly world-defining work. But is it also opening wormholes to different dimensions, summoning demons - and why are the staff at CERN performing human sacrifices in front of their statue of Shiva...? That took a turn! We also revisit some of the concepts from our Conspiracy Theories Vol.2 and Mandela Effect episodes - it seems the LHC has A LOT to answer for! Go grab the tin foil hat, because time is about to move a lot more slower for you over the next 4 years.

Episode #3
OTT #211 - The Dark Side of Pokémon Go
Sep 18, 202638 minS26
This week, Alex & Dan discuss one of the viral sensations of 2016, with Niantic's Augmented Reality Pokémon-themed mobile games - Pokémon Go! The game brought together communities of people together, discovering local points of interest, towns and cities! Getting people to "touch grass" was a great way to get your steps in, whilst becoming a new social phenomenon. But what was the cost? From mishaps and mistakes to sadly more serious injuries occurring worldwide - and the data you collected and agreed to be transferred to Niantic - well, that's being used for other means now - which you may not have been aware of, or originally signed up to! Come for a walk with us, as we go spotting for that elusive shiny Pokémon! #GITS #Onthetopic #TWRAD #Southcoastsounds #spotify #podcast #Pokémon #mobilegames #gaming NEW!

OTT #210 - Your Iconic Movie Moments Vol.1
Sep 11, 20261h 17mS26
This week, Alex & Dan discuss some of the most mind-blowing reveals, gotcha's and killer one-liners in movie history (mic drop moments!) and thanks to the power of social media - some of yours, too! We discuss complex paternal reveals, prehistoric gargantuan run-ins, to accidental discharges of weapons in confined spaces, sinking ships - and whips! Are you in the market for a replica Jurassic Park (#1) tour vehicle? Can you say "clever girl" without sounding like Muldoon - and who has an existential crisis and who shares a birthday with a famous religious idol / saviour, taking all the limelight? Sit back and relax as we take you on a wild ride of some of the most note - and quote-worthy scenes from recent modern cinema! #GITS #Onthetopic #TWRAD #Southcoastsounds #spotify #podcast #Films #Filmreviews #nostaglia #iconic #Review NEW!

FAQs

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.
