Generator Safety After Storms | Yakima News
Aug 21, 20261 min
Generators are lifesavers during storms, but safety is non-negotiable—carbon monoxide poisoning and engine burns are real risks. Keep them at least 20 feet away from your home, exhaust pointed away from windows and doors, and never run them in the rain without proper weatherproofing. Always turn off and let generators cool before refueling to avoid fires. Store extra fuel safely. While newer models have CO sensors that shut them down automatically, they won’t protect you if exhaust blows elsewhere. For long-term safety, install a transfer switch to power your home directly—eliminating extension cords and overloads while keeping everything outside and secure.

TikTok and ByteDance are paying $400 million to settle a major children’s privacy lawsuit with the Justice Department, marking one of the largest settlements of its kind — $300 million upfront and $100 million tied to a 2019 order covering Musical.ly. The suit accused TikTok of violating COPPA by letting kids under 13 join and collecting personal data without consent, even after prior agreements. While TikTok argues many claims relate to outdated practices already fixed, the settlement underscores growing regulatory pressure on social media platforms to safeguard minors’ data — and signals that enforcement is no longer optional in the digital age.

Suns Aim for State Title | Yakima News
Aug 21, 20261 min
Southridge High’s Suns are hitting the field hard—midnight practices, two-a-day drills, and weights stacked high—as they chase their ultimate goal: a state title and Mid-Columbia Conference championship. After falling short in the playoffs last year, this senior-laden squad is fueled by grit, chemistry, and an unshakable drive to go further. Coach Matt Johnson insists early-season intensity is non-negotiable, and players like Jacob Korotkov are feeding off the electric energy of those late-night sessions. Their season kicks off Friday, September 4th, at home against Cheney—where they’ll prove their grind isn’t just talk.

Finley’s Four-Day School Week Success | Yakima News
Aug 21, 20262 min
Finley School District is rolling into its second year of a four-day school week—with soaring praise from students, staff, and the community. The first year’s success led to improved attendance, financial savings, and more time for hands-on learning. With major HVAC upgrades funded by $2 million in state grants set to begin as early as November, the district is also doubling down on professional development. Principals report that the condensed schedule helps students juggle sports, jobs, and academics while boosting teacher productivity. As they refine the model for year two, Finley’s goal? Keep the momentum—and maybe even grow enrollment. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Mariners Call Up Pitching Prospect Anderson | Yakima News
Aug 21, 20262 min
Seattle’s pitching future just got a lot brighter as 22-year-old phenom Kade Anderson, the third overall pick in the 2025 draft, makes his major league debut this Saturday — becoming the first player from that draft class to reach the big leagues. With a jaw-dropping 10-1 record and a 1.06 ERA in the minors, Anderson brings electric stuff and elite command, already striking out 135 batters in 93 innings. The Mariners, despite their current 60-68 slump and a brutal 22-0 loss, are banking on him to spark a turnaround. Facing off against the NL’s top wild card team, the Cubs, it’s a high-stakes debut for a young arm who could redefine Seattle’s rotation — even as they juggle a deep bullpen and recent injuries.

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.
