About this Podcast:

Serious Danger is a podcast about our broken political system and its greatest threat: the Greens. Join traitorous SJWs Emerald Moon and Tom Ballard as they discuss the #auspol news of the week, chat to key figures from the left movement, and talk about how to win a future for all of us.

Excerpt: Vic Labor & SDA vs RAFFWU ft. Josh Cullinan
Sep 30, 202620 min
Woah the Greens have a new leader! Lots of discussion of that coming next episode, but first, in this bonus episode for Patreon subscribers, Tom is joined by Josh Cullinan, Director of Strategic Litigation at the Retail and Fast Food Workers Union (aka RAFFWU) - the naughty, unregistered, non-ACTU affiliated FIGHTING UNION for retail and fast-food workers in Australia! Recently the new Victorian Premier, and former SDA member, Ben Carroll, suddenly introduced the Associations Incorporation Reform Amendment Bill 2026, and it sure seemed designed to help the SDA and big business. Is the Shoppies union a tool of Colesworth etc designed to keep workers down? ---------- The show can only exist because of our wonderful Patreon subscriber’s support.

Sep 16, 202616 min
In this bonus episode for Patreon subscribers, Emerald and Tom are joined by Gokulan Gopal, a Tamil-Indian-Australian and Western Sydney Greens member, for a chat about the politics surrounding Australia’s large Indian diaspora.

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.
