Civilians at war do not get uniforms, orders, or medals. They get a front line that arrives at their doorstep and a choice nobody should have to make. This show tells the true stories of civilians at war: the families, doctors, teachers, and children caught inside conflicts they never chose. Each episode reconstructs one true story in full, cinematic detail: the city surrounded, the checkpoint that decided who passed, the basement that became a hospital, the neighbor who became an informer. No host chatting between clips, no panel debating politics. Just one complete story, narrated start to finish, built from diaries, letters, and the testimony of the civilians who lived it. You will follow civilians smuggling bread through siege lines, villagers hiding strangers under their floors, and ordinary people forced to negotiate with armies for their families' lives. Some episodes follow a single family through one terrible week; others trace a town's entire war from the day the soldiers arrived to the day they left. All of them treat civilians at war as what they are: the war's true center, not its background. If you are drawn to war stories told from the inside of the house instead of the top of the hill, this is built for you. New episodes drop regularly, each one a self-contained story of civilians at war. Subscribe now so the next one lands the moment it goes live.

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.
