About Pat
Patrick Mark Kane, born on 10 March 1964, is a Scottish musician, journalist, and political activist. He is known as one half of the pop duo Hue and Cry, performing alongside his younger brother Greg. Kane is also recognized for his writings on political and cultural topics and has played a role in political activism, particularly advocating for Scottish self-government during the 1980s and 1990s. He was a founding member of the organization Artists for an Independent Scotland and served as Rector of the University of Glasgow from 1990 to 1993 after being elected in 1990, defeating veteran Labour Member of Parliament Tony Benn. Kane graduated from the university in 1985 with an MA in English. During his tenure as Rector, he contributed to the Glasgow University Guardian, where his column drew notable edits, including humorous alterations to references of Raymond Williams and Alvin Toffler. In the 1990s, Kane expanded into arts journalism, presenting live discussion shows for Channel 4 and BBC2, and earning a Sony Award nomination for his BBC Radio Scotland series Kane Over America, which finished third in its category. He was also a founding editor of the Sunday Herald newspaper and has contributed to publications such as The Guardian and The National. In 2004, Kane published The Play Ethic: A Manifesto for a Different Way of Living, promoting a philosophy he spreads through seminars, talks, and an online platform. He was previously married to Joan McAlpine, an SNP Member of the Scottish Parliament for the South of Scotland region.

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.
