Ep. 690 - Bonus Show - A Bridge Too Far: Three Days in Amsterdam
Aug 16, 20261h 35mS7
This one is different. Before we sailed through Holland and Belgium with a group of listeners, our family spent three days in Amsterdam — and what happened there didn't fit into a normal cruise recap. So we did something we've never done in 650+ episodes: we sat down with the people who traveled with us and turned it into a story. Across three days, everyone we talked to walked up to an edge and had to decide what to do standing at it. On a food tour through the Albert Cuyp market, our friend Tracy — a self-described picky eater — braved croquettes, cheese, and fresh stroopwafels, right up until the raw herring: "But I didn't try the herring, though. That's a bridge too far." In the Jewish Cultural Quarter, Sam, the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, looked for her own family name on a memorial wall of 102,000 names and asked the question that runs underneath the whole episode. And at the Anne Frank House, an eleven-year-old named Emma stepped through the bookcase and put it more plainly than any adult could: "they were quiet for two years, and I can't be quiet in two minutes." It's a food tour, a history lesson, and a family story about how far you go, where your edges are, and what you carry home. Grab a fresh stroopwafel and settle in. A programming note: this is a storytelling special that departs from our usual format. Regular Disney Cruise Line coverage returns next episode.

Aug 14, 20261h 14mS7
The Holgates just got off the Disney Destiny — and their honest take starts with a rough first day.

Aug 11, 20261h 5mS7
For her 50th birthday, Amy — a longtime Disney fan and a part-time Disney travel agent — finally got her reluctant-cruiser husband Dan on an adults-only Disney cruise: four nights on the brand-new Disney Destiny, with no kids on board for the first time in their cruising history. She stacked the itinerary with drink tastings, adult dining, and enough Marvel and Star Wars theming to make her case — and by the end of the trip, Dan was ready to admit it worked. In this episode: Why Amy picked the Destiny to finally win Dan over, and why a four-night, two-island sailing was the right call Their honest take on Palo brunch availability, Enchante lunch, and juggling show times on a packed sailing Lookout Cay vs. Castaway Cay from a first-timer's perspective, including a surprising food discovery at each island The drink tasting that turned into a hands-on mixology lesson and became the trip's unexpected highlight Their honest verdict on Hercules, technical hiccups and all What finally convinced Dan to book his own 50th birthday cruise Connect with Amy — Disney Travel Agent: Amy is a part-time Disney travel agent with MickeyTravels.

Ep. 687 - A Former DCL Cast Member Reviews Her First Disney Dream Sailing: Her Honest Take
Aug 10, 20261h 21mS7
Sara spent years working for Disney Cruise Line as a youth activities counselor — and somehow the Disney Dream was the one classic ship she'd never sailed as a guest, until now. She and her husband Chris finally closed that gap on a week-long Mediterranean cruise out of Barcelona. The highlight reel writes itself: dolphins, a sea turtle, and a whale, all spotted from their balcony in the same hour and a half. But the real value in this episode is the honest, insider take — what changes when a former cast member sails a much bigger ship for the first time, and whether that trade-off is worth it. In this episode: Sara's decade-long path to sailing every classic Disney ship — and why the Dream was the last one on her list Chris's first Dream-class sailing, and how it stacked up against his Wonder experience Four ports in one week: a private Cinque Terre day, a Tarquinia trolley tour, Herculaneum with a local's pizza recommendation, and wild flamingos in Sardinia The wildlife trifecta that stopped a whole deck of guests in their tracks An honest, insider comparison of the Dream's adult spaces versus the more personal feel of the Wonder Why late dining wins out on European sailings "She still could not prepare me for the insanity that is Disney Cruise Line. It's so unique." — Chris Support the Show: Ready to set sail?

Ep. 686 - 3 Cruises, 2 Ships, 0 Excursions: A Disney Cruise Line "Triple Header"
Aug 9, 20261h 18mS7
Fifteen Disney cruises in, Todd and Erica have a formula: inside staterooms, no excursions, and a "Triple Header" — one sailing on the Disney Destiny, then a back-to-back on the Disney Fantasy. They join us to break down exactly how they pulled it off. In this episode: Todd and Erica break down the logistics of their "Triple Header" — one Destiny sailing followed by a back-to-back on the Fantasy, across two Florida ports The insider "hidden gem" inside stateroom on the Fantasy and Dream that most cruisers don't know exists Real back-to-back turnaround day logistics — luggage tags, Key to the World cards, and what actually happens when you switch ships First impressions of the Disney Destiny's Grand Hall, Heroes & Villains theming, and the Pride Lands second-night menu Why 15 cruises in, trivia is still their favorite way to connect with cast members A head-to-head on Destiny vs. Fantasy service, food, and atmosphere for adult cruisers without kids "We are inside room people. We are not spending money usually on excursions. We're happy with the ship." — Erica Support the Show: We Do Travel Right — book your next Disney Cruise Line vacation with our show sponsor, the crew that handles the planning so you can focus on relaxing!

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.
