Roland Orzabal’s Very Unusual Memoir + A Neil Peart Tribute You Need to See
Aug 18, 202610 min
Roland Orzabal of Tears for Fears has written one of the most unusual rock memoirs I’ve ever read, one built around his lifelong fascination with astrology. I dig into Welcome to Your Life and whether the book works even if astrology isn’t your thing. Plus, a new Neil Peart documentary is coming featuring Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, Stewart Copeland, Chad Smith, Danny Carey and more paying tribute to the legendary Rush drummer.

In this episode of Rock Talk Studio , I break down the three things that finally made Elvis "click" for me: The Colonel and the King : Why understanding the mysterious and relentless Colonel Tom Parker provided the context I was missing. EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert : How seeing these rehearsals and concert footage revealed the raw work ethic behind the spectacle. Elvis Presley: Conversations With Scotty Moore : A look at the new book by Jim Berkenstadt that gives a first-hand account of Elvis’s early career through the eyes of his legendary guitarist. Whether you're a die-hard Elvis fan or a skeptic like I was, this is a story about how the right history can make you reconsider an artist you thought you had all figured out.

Jeff Beck: The Restless Genius of a Guitar God- Blow by Blow Book Review
Jul 14, 20269 min
Jeff Beck was a guitarist’s guitarist-a restless genius who could do things that even contemporaries like Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Jimi Hendrix couldn't touch. But why did one of the top five greatest guitarists of all time never achieve the same massive commercial success as his peers? The new book Blow by Blow: The Jeff Beck Story looks at the "Woodstock moment" that defined his career, his complicated artistic identity, and why his refusal to be "packaged" made him both a legend and an enigma. Plus, a look at "Jeff’s Guitar Garage," a technical breakdown of the gear that powered his otherworldly sound. Support the show email Big Rick at: info@rocktalkstudio.com
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.
