"Australia Just Doesn't Get Test Cricket!"
Aug 18, 202643 min

So where do the Aussies go from here? Then, a quick wrap on the rest of the cricket news from around the globe (23:00), including India vs Sri Lanka, Steady The Ship winning The Hundred (27:30), some NZ domestic schedule news (32:30), plus a quick trip to Paul Ford's Cricket Violence Corner (36:00)!

"Hoopin' It With Zak Foulkes"
Aug 12, 202631 min
On this special episode of The BYC Podcast, Dylan Cleaver, Paul Ford and ACC Head G Lane are joined by Black Cap Swing Bowler and Great New Zealander Zac Foulkes (00:00)!  Zak Foulkes has had a run. Called up as a "Super Sub" at Trent Bridge when Blair Tickner went down after being struck by a Jofra Archer bouncer. Wickets against England, including Ben Stokes, twice. His Test debut against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo delivered the best-ever match figures by a New Zealand bowler on Test debut... They fellas dig into the Trent Bridge madness (Tickner down, Foulkes in, Stokes wickets, and what it was like being on the field when Stokes' retirement news broke), the historic Test debut record vs Zimbabwe, growing up in Darfield (also the hometown of John Wright and Henry Shipley), backyard battles with brothers Liam and Robbie, dad Glen's connection to current Black Caps coach Gary Stead, and the questions that really matter... How do you actually pronounce his surname, and does he prefer fishing the Waimakariri or the Rakaia? Plus, his idiosyncratic bowling action (and how it feels being compared to Trent Boult and Lance Cairns), the origin story of pivoting from batter to bowler, how NZ A shaped his development, teaching Jacob Duffy an inswinger, Peter Fulton's all-rounder assessment, and the philosophy behind why Test cricket is his number one goal.

"Double Shakas With Blair Tickner"
Aug 8, 202631 min
On this special episode of The BYC Podcast, Dylan Cleaver, Paul Ford and ACC Head G Lane are joined by Black Cap Fast Bowler and Great New Zealander Blair Tickner (00:00)!  Blair Tickner has had a comeback year worth remembering. Recontracted for 2026–27, Wickets against England during a historic series win, and coach Rob Walter saying he's "added new levels" to his game. Not bad for someone who two years ago wondered if the Black Caps' journey was over... They cover the England series (including what it was like being on the receiving end of a Jofra Archer bouncer, and whether the concussion protocols allowed for a proper series-win celebration), what it takes to come back from two years out of international cricket at 32, the specific technical adjustments that have made the second stint feel different from the first, and what actually makes Central Districts the greatest domestic cricket side in the world. They also get into Blair's distinctive bowling action and whether any coach has ever tried to "fix" it, the wickets awaiting the Black Caps in Australia, and where he sits on the NZ20 franchise league debate. Plus, the barista life at the 13th Stag cafe, first-cricket-bat memories, and pre-spell  rituals.

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.
