Episode #4
*Brand New Story Alert* Caimh is back with some updates, including a sort of 'live reaction' section of the podcast with a man looking at stuff that is on-sale in his own shop! More importantly, the superb Phil Mealey is here to read a brand new Stranger Times Short Story.

In this 'special' episode narrator Brendan McDonald and author Caimh have a chat while also drinking. The results are a rambling shambles that you may love or hate - both are valid responses.

The Stranger Times
BRAND NEW STORY ALERT! That's right, the wonderful returning narrator Ruth Cockburn narrates a brand new Stranger Times story called Smile Like You Mean It, and Caimh gives a quick update on all the news about the impending launch of Ring The Bells, as well as explaining the closest thing he's seen to actual magic in real life. Spoiler: It involves a man putting on glasses like a comedic Superman.

The Stranger Times
I'm not sure if the last ep or this ep counts as the start of season 5, but we can all agree it's definitely started now. Also - news on events in THREE countries plus Brendan McDonald reading an exclusive preview of Ring The Bells.

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.
