About Allan

Allan Kozinn is an American journalist, music critic, and teacher born on July 28, 1954. He earned bachelor's degrees in music and journalism from Syracuse University in 1976. Kozinn began freelancing as a critic and music feature writer for The New York Times in 1977 and became a staff member in 1991. His career includes contributions to High Fidelity, Keynote magazines, Guitar Player, Keyboard, Pulse, and The New York Observer, where he was the first music critic. Kozinn has authored several books on music and related topics, including works on guitar history, Mischa Elman, The Beatles, and classical music recordings. Since 2014, he has worked with researcher Adrian Sinclair on The McCartney Legacy, a multi-volume biography of Paul McCartney. Volume one was published in December 2022. Kozinn has also taught at New York University and Juilliard School, covering music criticism, Baroque music, the Beatles, and musical interpretation. In 2012, The New York Times reassigned him from classical music criticism to general cultural reporting, a move that sparked controversy. He left the Times in 2014 during a period of layoffs and buyouts and moved to Portland, Maine in 2015. There he served as the classical music critic for the Portland Press Herald until 2020 and contributed as a freelance critic for several major newspapers. Currently, Kozinn is a co-host of the video podcast Things We Said Today, focusing on The Beatles. He is married to writer Paula Brochu, and they reside in Portland, Maine.

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.
