Harry and Meghan Return to UK | Columbia News
Aug 19, 20262 min
Prince Harry and Meghan are reportedly returning to the UK — but this time, no royal duties. Their kids, Archie and Lilibet, are set to start school in September, while the family settles into a private home outside London. After stepping away six years ago for a life in California fueled by Netflix and Spotify deals, tensions with the royal family remain high — especially as Harry pushes for reconciliation with his father, King Charles, who’s battling cancer. Their exit from royal life was explosive, marked by public critiques of the monarchy, mental health concerns, and allegations of racism. Harry’s also been locked in legal battles with British tabloids over privacy violations and continues to fight the government for police protection for his family, despite losing court cases. A recent charity trip saw Meghan and the kids join Harry for a brief reunion with the King — a potential thaw — though Prince William reportedly isn’t thrilled.

Two Fallen Heroes in One Week | Columbia News
Aug 19, 20262 min
Two lives lost in a tragic head-on crash in Augusta, Georgia — Richmond County Deputy Phillip Wasson and 57-year-old Heather Michelle Lanier — has shaken the law enforcement community. Just one day after Deputy Jailer Michael Davis died suddenly from a medical emergency, the Sheriff’s Office mourns the loss of two dedicated officers whose combined service spanned over four decades. Sheriff Eugene Brantley called them “brothers,” urging the public to honor their memory. Neighboring agencies have joined in offering condolences, while investigators continue to probe the collision involving a U-Haul, pickup, and sedan that halted traffic for nearly two hours. The grief is profound, and the impact lingers across the region. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

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.
