Episode #55
Capes: Punching the Clock - with Case Aiken
Sep 30, 202611 minS1
Everybody knows Invincible . Far fewer people talk about Capes . Case Aiken is here to fix that. This week on Trade School, he looks at Robert Kirkman and Mark Englert's superhero workplace comedy about what happens when saving the world is a salaried position; complete with lunch breaks, performance reviews, giant battles, terrible puns, and exactly the kind of sudden brutality you'd expect from the Invincible universe. It's weird, funny, rough around the edges, and absolutely worth rediscovering.

Hawkeye: Little Hits - with Gillian Wiebe
Sep 23, 20269 minS1
Gillian Wiebe takes over Trade School to revisit Hawkeye: Little Hits , the comic that helped turn Matt Fraction and David Aja's Hawkeye into a modern classic. From Hurricane Sandy and the Tracksuit Mafia to tragedy, community, and an unforgettable issue told from Lucky the Pizza Dog's perspective, this volume shows just how much comics can do when creators fully embrace the visual language of the medium.

Tales From Lands Unknown Vol. 1 & 2 - with Jon Hook
Sep 16, 202614 minS1
This week on Trade School, Jon Hook ventures into Mike Mignola's Lands Unknown, a bizarre, folklore-soaked fantasy realm filled with corpses, gods, scholars, monsters, and plenty of things that probably should not be trusted. Jon walks through Bowling with Corpses and Yuri Tupka and the Gods and explains why this growing universe is such an exciting new playground for Mignola; and why now is the ideal time to start reading.

Karmen - with Keith Lehtinen
Sep 9, 20267 minS1
This week on Trade School, Keith Lehtinen spotlights Karmen, the hauntingly beautiful Image Comics series by Guillem March. It's a story about a young woman named Catalina, the reaper assigned to guide her after death, and the emotional weight of looking back on a life too soon interrupted. If you want a comic that is gorgeous, heartbreaking, romantic, and weird in exactly the right way, Keith is here to tell you why Karmen belongs on your shelf.

The Tick: The Naked City - with Case Aiken
Sep 2, 202610 minS1
This week on Trade School, Case Aiken dives into The Tick: The Naked City , the collection that first showed him just how weird, smart, and funny The Tick could be on the comics page. Ben Edlund's original series is not just a superhero parody; it is a gleeful dismantling of capes, secret identities, ninjas, publicity-hungry heroes, and the entire idea of what a superhero world is supposed to look like.

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.
