Episode #93
Sheldon finally receives a long sought-after award for his research - except, he also stumbles across a prop ring from the production of Return of the King, so the award is not the most surprising thing that happens to him this week. Historical Highlights: https://www.cslewisinstitute.org/resources/c-s-lewis-and-j-r-r-tolkien/
Episode #92
Sheldon is the one who can’t seem to catch a break this week! Between being told firmly by Leonard that Penny will be the one tagging along on a trip to Switzerland and being unable to attend Stan Lee’s comic book signing, he’s dealing with a lot…except, do we really feel bad for him? And as always, leave it to Marlessa to point out some fascinating parallels between these storylines and some Everybody Loves Raymond and Frasier classics. Historical Highlights: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider#
Episode #91
We have two character studies of Sheldon this week: how will he react when the apartment is broken into and when he meets a physics problem that he (thinks!) might be too much for him? We had no fun at all discussing these two episodes…BAZINGA! Historical Highlights: https://www.dpma.de/english/our_office/publications/milestones/greatinventors/einstein/index.html
Episode #90
Marlessa’s dear friend and fellow comic enthusiast, Quinn Levy, joins us to discuss this week’s episodes as we reach the halfway point of the season! Penny feels accepted by Leonard’s mother, albeit after a night of drinking together - but can she receive the same acceptance from Leonard when she’s open about her belief in psychics? Thank you so much for being part of this fun conversation, Quinn! History Highlights: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Abbott_Abbott
Episode #89
We are so glad to be joined this week by dear, dear friend and real life aerospace engineer, Bernadette Haig! She’s here to talk about an absolute classic from Season 3 that sees Sheldon try to teach Penny physics. But there’s so much else to discuss, from Howard’s warped outlook on dating to the importance of taking a sincere interest in others’ work to what it means to be a good teacher. Not to mention Sheldon’s revenge on Kripke - thank goodness he found a middle ground, we guess? We are so grateful to our Bernadette (not Howard’s!) for sharing her insights as a woman in STEM and for offering another honest perspective on some of the stereotypes these characters face.

FAQs
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.
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.

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.
