Episode #42
November 29, 2025 marks Bootleggers Beware's final episode aired live on The Radiator in Burlington, VT. Our whole family joined in celebration of the 15 years we've spent together on Saturdays. I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest thanks and gratitude to each and every one of you who have shared your Saturdays with me over the last 15 years. As I've said many times before: I am humbled and honored that you have chosen to share your Saturday with me, whether for one show, a hundred, or five hundred. I would also like to thank our friends at Big Heavy World and The Radiator for allowing me to make my radio dream a reality. Without them, their support, and the artistic freedom they've allowed me, Bootleggers Beware would not be what it is. It has been and is my pleasure to share my love of live music with you every week, and I look forward to the day that we can pick up where we're leaving off. While I am unsure what the future holds for return of the live broadcast of Bootleggers Beware, I will continue to keep music and photos flowing from our Facebook page. For now, thank you all for your support and continued listenership over the years. It means the world to me.

FAQs
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.
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.
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.
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.
