Time Pals Interview w/Big Squid Production's Kyle Valle and Erin Aine (Zombie Con Vol.1 / Autonomous)
Sep 1, 20261h 7m
Send us Fan Mail THE TIME PALS ARE BACK — AND WE’RE BRINGING SPOOKY SEASON EARLY. This week, hosts Jon Powell and Mike Underscore welcome Kyle Valle and Erin Áine , co-founders of Big Squid Films and the talented minds behind the cult indie horror-comedy ZOMBIECON VOL. 1 and Screamify’s new Micro Horrors™ thriller AUTONOMOUS ! We get into EVERYTHING about making an Indie Horror Movie: - How a night of drinking, a Captain America shield, anime and a room full of movie props helped inspire ZombieCon Vol. 1. - Practical gore, cosplay, filmmaking tricks and the anime DNA running through the movie. What they have planned for ZombieCon Vol. 2 — including a time jump, a more dystopian world and something much, MUCH bigger. - We talk Screamify’s Micro Horrors™, AUTONOMOUS , a 16-part vertical horror story that traps you in the backseat of a driverless car while a bad night gets progressively worse. And because this is the Time Pals, we somehow also find time for killer drones, Warhammer, zombie-apocalypse weapons, terrible movie ideas and the usual collection of completely unnecessary tangents. Basically, we tried to conduct a professional filmmaker interview. . . . . .and We failed beautifully. ZombieCon Vol.1 is available on Apple TV, Prime Video, Tubi and many more streaming platforms. Autonomous is available exclusively on Screamify!

Mini Episodes: (Shado)Spartan vs. Pirate(Software)
Apr 24, 202637 minS4
Send us Fan Mail A Spartan Takes on a Pirate! This week’s mini episode features co-host ShadoSpartan’s take on the rise and fall of one of his former favorite online personalities, PirateSoftware. So why devote an entire mini episode to the “Roach”? Roaches can survive anything. They adapt, they outlast, they get their dad at Blizzard to land them a job, lay off their moderators, side with billion-dollar corporations at every turn, never hold themselves accountable when they’re obviously wrong, and ban ShadoSpartan from chat just for saying hello. Mini episode theme by ShadoSpartan, whose album is available at: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1ZCnmT7zKYdVQ8lPuO3oVE?si=MMXMPLWeTJaXF6j9QRy2Iw ShadoSpartan's YouTube Game Retrospectives can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/@ShadoSpartan44 Follow Time Pals wherever you get your podcasts. #PirateSoftware #GameDev #WoW #StopKillingGames #MaydayMediaNetwork #ShadoSpartan #Roach #Kronos #TimePalsPodcast Legendary Supplements Welcome to Legendary Supplements, where gaming greatness meets unparalleled performance.

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.
