Baleba to Man Utd done? Konsa to Arsenal & Watkins Saudi bombshell | Rio Reacts
Aug 19, 202613 min
The transfer market is officially on fire! Rio Ferdinand is back on Rio Reacts breaking down massive deadline moves and breaking news across the Premier League. Manchester United are closing in on Brighton midfield powerhouse Carlos Baleba in a £60m + £5m add-on deal. Rio breaks down why United’s recruitment patience finally paid off after Brighton demanded £100m last summer, and how Baleba reuniting with former Lille teammate Leny Yoro and fellow Cameroon star Bryan Mbeumo creates instant chemistry alongside Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos. Down in North London, Arsenal are in advanced talks to land Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa. With William Saliba and Jurriën Timber carrying knocks, Mikel Arteta is bringing in the Premier League's top ground-duel winner to lock down his title defence. Meanwhile, Unai Emery's Aston Villa are under serious siege as Al-Hilal make an aggressive push to sign Ollie Watkins on massive wages. With Tielemans gone, Konsa linked away, and Watkins targeted by Saudi Arabia, is Villa's spine completely falling apart? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Youri Tielemans: Rashford is the Opposite of What People Say | Carrick sees himself in me
Aug 14, 202633 min
Rio Ferdinand sits down with new Manchester United midfielder Youri Tielemans to discuss his surprise move to Old Trafford, his first conversations with Michael Carrick and why joining United was an opportunity he couldn't turn down. Tielemans reveals what Carrick told him about his role, why the United boss sees similarities between them and how he wants Tielemans to control the tempo, take responsibility in possession and how he can help connect United's defence with their attacking players. The Belgium captain gives his early assessment of his new midfield partners, discussing what Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo and Andrey Santos can each bring to the team. He explains why Bruno is a "nightmare" to play against, where Mainoo can still improve and why Santos could give United's midfield the security to attack with more freedom. Tielemans also reveals some of the early details he's picked up inside the United squad - including which player was first to message him after his move, the funniest player on the training pitch and why he’s been pleasantly surprised with the ego and ‘edge’ within the leadership group of senior players. He opens up on playing alongside Marcus Rashford at Aston Villa and why the player he saw every day was completely different to the public perception around him, praising his commitment, attitude and the qualities he can bring back to United. Youri also reflects on becoming a Champions League player at just 16, the advice he'd give JJ Gabriel aged 15 and what he learned under Unai Emery at Aston Villa. Plus, Tielemans builds his ultimate five-a-side team from the players he's shared a pitch with, featuring Vincent Kompany, Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku and Jamie Vardy – revealing what made Hazard unlike anyone he'd ever played with and why Lukaku doesn't get the respect he deserves.

Chicharito: Everyone Gets Cristiano Wrong | One thing Haaland is missing
Aug 6, 202658 min
Former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández joins Rio Ferdinand to relive one of football's most remarkable careers, opening up on the dressing rooms that shaped him and the biggest names he played alongside. You’ll see Chicharito like never before as he passionately explains why Cristiano Ronaldo was "never arrogant", revealing what the five-time Ballon d'Or winner was really like behind closed doors at Real Madrid and why the Portuguese icon's relentless mentality is so often misunderstood. The former United favourite also breaks down the movement that made him one of Europe's deadliest penalty-box strikers, analysing the famous Bolton goal that Rio still calls one of the greatest examples of striker movement he's ever seen. He explains why Erling Haaland can become an even more complete forward, compares Harry Kane to Karim Benzema and names the current striker he'd most like to play alongside. There's also a fascinating insight into Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United, why adapting to the club's culture mattered more than proving yourself immediately, the standards set by Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Wayne Rooney, plus why Michael Carrick deserves far more credit for restoring Manchester United's identity. Chicharito also reflects on life at Real Madrid alongside Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Luka Modrić and Sergio Ramos, discusses why Gareth Bale remains one of football's most underrated superstars and reveals the five-a-side team he'd pick from the incredible players he shared a dressing room with. 00:00 - Introduction & Cristiano Ronaldo’s Mentality 01:38 - Chicharito on His Playing Style & Movement 02:32 - Adapting to Man Utd alongside Rooney, Giggs & Nani 04:39 - Is Movement Instinctive or Learned? 06:22 - Dissecting the Iconic Goal vs. Bolton (Movement Analysis) 10:23 - Reading Teammate Body Language & Quick Attacks 12:59 - Advice for New Transfers Entering Big Clubs 15:43 - Manchester United Standards & Earning Respect 18:40 - Family Legacy & Tough Love from His Father 20:00 - Dressing Room Culture & Learning from Paul Scholes 24:15 - Winning Player of the Year in His Debut Season 26:08 - The Post-Ferguson Shift & Leaving Old Trafford 30:32 - Manchester United vs. Real Madrid: Cultural Differences 34:58 - What Cristiano Ronaldo Was Really Like Behind the Scenes 40:52 - Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema & The Modern #9 49:54 - Picking His Ultimate Strike Partner & 5-a-Side Team #Chicharito #RioFerdinand #CristianoRonaldo #ManUtd #RealMadrid #MUFC #HalaMadrid #PremierLeague #ChampionsLeague #Ronaldo #CR7 #ErlingHaaland #HarryKane #KarimBenzema #GarethBale #LukaModric #PaulScholes #WayneRooney #MichaelCarrick #StrikerMovement #FootballAnalysis #StrikerMindset #Goalscorers #FootballTactics #FootballDressingRoom #5aSide #SirAlexFerguson #FootballPodcast #FootballInterview #ManUtdLegends #RealMadridCF #WomensFootball #FarahReacts #FarahMeets #PodcastHighlight Subscribe: http://bit.ly/15QO9WE Rio Ferdinand Presents: rioferdinandpresents.com Rio Ferdinand Presents Instagram: https://instagram.com/rioferdinandpresents Rio Ferdinand Presents Twitter/X: https://x.com/RioMeets Rio Ferdinand Presents Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rioferdinandpresents Rio Ferdinand Presents TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rioferdinandpresents Rio Ferdinand Presents Threads: https://www.threads.net/@rioferdinandpresents Rio Ferdinand Instagram: https://instagram.com/rioferdy5 Rio Ferdinand Twitter/X: https://x.com/rioferdy5 Rio Ferdinand Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RioFerdinandOfficial Rio Ferdinand TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rioferdy5 Rio Ferdinand Threads: https://www.threads.net/@rioferdy5 Hosted on Acast.

Hugo Lloris: After losing to Messi - It’s Mbappe’s DESTINY to win this World Cup
Jul 14, 20261 hour
World Cup-winning captain Hugo Lloris joins Rio Ferdinand for an exclusive conversation that only a handful of people in football history could ever have. As one of the few men to captain his country to World Cup glory, Hugo takes Rio inside the pressure, leadership and emotion behind lifting the biggest trophy in football. Lloris explains why Kylian Mbappé looked different from his very first France training session, the work that transformed him into one of the world's deadliest forwards and why he believes greatness is still written in his destiny. He also relives the unforgettable 2022 World Cup Final, offering a unique perspective from inside one of the greatest matches ever played. Hugo reveals the specific instructions Didier Deschamps gave France to try and stop Lionel Messi, explains why even the best-laid plans weren't enough and reflects on watching Messi and Mbappé produce an all-time classic on football's biggest stage. The former Tottenham captain also opens up on Harry Kane's incredible development under Mauricio Pochettino and states why he thinks the England captain can win the Ballon d’Or. You’ll also hear why Spurs never quite turned their golden generation into trophy winners and what really changed under José Mourinho and Antonio Conte. Rio and Hugo also discuss Didier Deschamps' leadership, the lessons France learned from the heartbreak of Euro 2016 before becoming world champions, facing Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suárez and Sergio Agüero [and Jamie Vardy], why N'Golo Kanté is unlike anyone he's ever played with, Paul Pogba's misunderstood reputation and Hugo's ultimate five-a-side team. This is Hugo Lloris in the way you’ve never heard him before. Brought to you in partnership with Airbnb. 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.
