What can a podcast actually do? The Podcast Effect explores what happens when experts, organisations and ideas are given the space to be heard. I'm Ellen Ronalds Keene, a podcast strategist, producer, educator and podcast super-listener. Through my business, PERK Digital, I've spent almost a decade producing, editing, launching and obsessing over podcasts. And I genuinely love the audio medium. Podcasts have changed my own life since I started listening to them on my laptop in 2007. Since then, I've watched the medium grow and change, and I've become increasingly interested in what happens because a podcast exists. The conversations it starts. The knowledge it captures. The relationships it builds. The people it reaches. The opportunities it creates. Because podcasting offers something increasingly valuable: space, intimacy and trust. Used deliberately, a podcast can publish expertise, build authority, preserve valuable knowledge and stories, deepen relationships and create enduring content that keeps working long after you hit publish. In The Podcast Effect, we'll explore the strategy, economics and possibilities of podcasting — from audio versus video and the changing world of search and AI, to deep niche audiences, regional storytelling, enduring content and what meaningful podcast success actually looks like. You'll hear solo episodes unpacking my frameworks and philosophy, alongside conversations with podcasters, producers, industry experts and people using podcasts to do genuinely interesting and valuable work. Because your best ideas deserve more than a post or a 60-second reel. They deserve a longer shelf life. And a podcast doesn't need millions of listeners to make an impact. Sometimes 100 of the right listeners are more valuable than 100,000 who aren't the right audience for what you're trying to achieve. This is The Podcast Effect.

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.
