Episode #10
Burnham bounce, Clacton by-election & bye bye clean girl
Aug 14, 202638 minS4
This week, we explore the end of the Clean Girl aesthetic (finally!) and Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny’s quiet response to Donald Trump’s use of their music in immigration deportation videos - and whether refusing to engage is actually a powerful political strategy. In UK politics, we look at Andy Burnham’s bounce, Labour’s recovery in the polls and whether small, everyday policy wins can rebuild voter confidence. And finally, it’s chaos in Clacton as Nigel Farage attempts to return to Parliament in one of the strangest by-elections yet. Links Politics, culture, beauty and the stories everyone’s talking about — all in this week’s News Diet. Is the era of the Clean Girl over? https://observer.co.uk/style/features/article/is-the-clean-girl-era-over-beauty-messy-girl Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny Dealt With Trump Quietly.

Bali influencers, Burnham on Tiktok, and why are so many women choosing to be single?
Jul 31, 202629 min
Are Bali influencers fuelling modern-day colonialism? Why are more women choosing to stay single? And can politicians really govern in the age of TikTok? This week, we unpack the controversy surrounding Bali's influencer culture, explore what the Booker Prize longlist reveals about success at every age, examine the rise of single women and shifting relationship expectations, and ask whether social media is changing politics for better - or worse. Bali influencers are colonialists in cosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/DbZItAUEQff/?img_index=1 Booker prize longlist https://thebookerprizes.com/the-booker-library/prize-years/2026 Tiktok: @newsdietpod Insta: @newdietpod Hosted on Acast.

Ageing phobia, Dua Lipa & World Cup rivalry
Jul 17, 202644 min
This week we discuss our obsession with ageing and why modern beauty standards make growing older feel like something to fear. We also unpack an Observer article on parenting, consent and bodily autonomy, asking whether children should ever be expected to hug relatives. Plus, we explore the Albania protests over a luxury development linked to Ivanka Trump, why Dua Lipa has backed campaigners, and what it means for the country's future. Finally, we relive England's World Cup heartbreak and revisit the history of the England vs Argentina football rivalry, exploring the moments that turned it into one of sport's most emotionally charged fixtures.

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.
