About Peter
Peter Michael Copeland (17 July 1942 – 30 July 2006) was an English sound archivist, policy advisor to the Ontario Provincial government, and philosopher of science. Throughout his career, he was deeply involved in sound recording and archiving, beginning with his early interest in collecting gramophone records and sound recording techniques. He joined the BBC World Service in 1961 as a Technical Operator, later becoming a Studio Manager at Broadcasting House and working at BBC Regional studios in Bristol. During his time at the BBC, Copeland operated studio equipment and was responsible for final mixes on notable projects including David Attenborough's wildlife series Life on Earth. He also ran a sideline business, Gosport Sound Products, producing private recordings and mastering discs. His fascination with wildlife sounds led him to record birdsong and natural atmospheres, which he sold to the BBC Sound Archive. In 1986, Copeland left the BBC to join the National Sound Archive, where he held positions including Conservation Manager and Head of Sound Conservation. He was a key figure in transitioning the archive to digital formats and conducted extensive research in sound reproduction, especially concerning old recordings. Retiring in 2002, he continued consulting until his death from a diabetes-related heart attack in 2006. He was working on a comprehensive Manual of Analogue Sound Restoration Techniques, which the British Library published electronically. His collection of rare recordings was donated to the British Library Sound Archive, reflecting his lifelong dedication to sound preservation and archival research.

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.
