3.2 That Was The Week That Was Explained
Sep 24, 202657 min
All British Comedy Explained… to Abigoliah Schamaun, by Tom Salinsky 3.2: That Was the Week That Was. Released 17 September 2026. The granddaddy of television satire, this landmark show only ran for two series, but it utterly changed the face of television comedy, on both sides of the Atlantic. Most episodes have similar virtues and issues, but we’ve gone for series 1, episode 9. Next time we’ll look at the show that started it all, by which I mean this podcast, Not the Nine O’Clock News . After much deliberation, we’ve settled on series 3 episode 3 and series 4 episode 6. Thanks to the Independent Podcast Awards for the nomination. https://independentpodcastawards.com/IPA26/en/page/our-2026-shortlist Here’s a long list of social media systems where you can find the podcast and us.

Steve Nallon Explains Spitting Image
Sep 17, 20261h 21mS3
All British Comedy Explained… to Abigoliah Schamaun, by Tom Salinsky Steve Nallon Explains Spitting Image. Released 17 September 2026. Finding someone who could do the voice of Margaret Thatcher was key to the success of Spitting Image. Did they recruit Faith Brown? Ask Jessica Martin? See if Jan Ravens could pull it off? No, Steve Nallon recommended himself and it was an inspired booking. He tells us about learning to be a puppeteer, his interest in time travel and much, much more. Next time we’ll go right back to the beginning at watch series 1, episode 9 of That Was the Week That Was . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.
