About this Podcast:

This podcast examines the various forms of media that shape our lives: the stories we love, the music that moves us, and the art the inspires us. We meet with a variety of guests to explore a piece of media that shaped them in some way and explore that influence as if it were a piece of great literature. Whether we are dealing with the seemingly inane or the deeply profound, we will try to get to the center of how we define ourselves and our values. It's a course in media literacy that puts hearts and minds ahead of the nuts and bolts of the industry.

The Midnight Coterie of Cinephile Podcasters (Wes Anderson Draft)
Jun 22, 20261h 29mS3
Welcome to the Midnight Coterie of Cinephile Podcasters. What would happen if Wes Anderson were trapped in a dreamscape with a team of his own misfit characters? Media/Lit has several answers for you. In this episode, Randy crosses another item off of his podcast bucket list by celebrating the filmography of auteur Wes Anderson. In yet another signature Media/Lit draft, the guys turn these quirky films into a multiverse and invite their friends to combine their favorite characters in unique and surprising ways. Joining the guys on precocious journey are longtime podling and freelance entertainment writer Leah Marilla Thomas , new podling and cinephile Scott Cole , Bill George of the Should I Go See it? Podcast, Hannah Blechman of the Authorized Novelizations podcast, and Sarah Callen of the Movie Archer Podcast Network and the Movies & Us podcast. I think I see how I see us. I mean I think I know now what I realize we are. Six catastrophically wounded podcasters who don’t express the depths of their pain, because, we don’t want to. That’s our connection. Do you agree?

Randy and Kris are getting hyped to return to Westeros and the Game of Thrones universe with the impending premiere of House of the Dragon S3!

Joining the guys on this adventure are Anna Stone of Stone’s Top Tens Podcast, Everett Mansur of Watch This Film Blog , our resident LOST doctor (and PhD in Neuroscience) John Aspler , Josh Sarnecky of The Pop Break , and OG Podling Abby Greiner.

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.
