Brontë Sisters Trapped in Forced Merriment | Washington DC News
Aug 19, 20262 min
The Brontë sisters are trapped in a literary purgatory, forced to host chaotic house parties to escape a Lavender Witch they invented as kids—each misstep rings a chime. Amidst wild characters like Cathy Earnshaw, Helen Burns, and drunken brother Branwell, even Kate Bush drops by for a surreal mash-up of fiction and reality. The play wrestles with heavy themes like internalized misogyny and toxic masculinity, but its message gets lost in the noise. Despite energetic performances and great music, the production feels like it’s trying too hard to be joyful—and ends up feeling more like forced merriment than genuine connection.

Police Officers Accused of Overtime Fraud | Washington DC News
Aug 19, 20262 min
Six police officers, including former sergeants and lieutenants, are charged with stealing over $400,000 by faking overtime, forging signatures, and manipulating records — a scheme that cost taxpayers nearly $441,000 this year. The scandal erupted after internal audits flagged suspicious hours and unverifiable claims from the Fifth District’s administrative office. These insiders allegedly submitted fake overtime while on vacation and pushed fraudulent approvals using their authority. Facing charges like first-degree fraud, theft, and forgery, they’ve shattered public trust — especially since they were sworn to protect the community. The department remains silent as federal prosecutors step in, underscoring a long-standing problem with overtime abuse within law enforcement.

D.C. Athletes Shine at Special Olympics | Washington DC News
Aug 19, 20262 min
The Special Olympics USA Games in Minneapolis lit up the summer with over 3,000 athletes, new sports like pickleball and cornhole, and unforgettable moments—from fireworks and chants to powerful speeches. D.C.’s team soared with pride, led by veteran coach Shedrick Young, as first-time athletes embraced the spirit of growth. Even after a nail-biting loss, the focus stayed on resilience and teamwork. Athletes cheered each other, shared jerseys, and built lifelong bonds beyond competition. Akaira Hawkins dominated the track with golds in three events, while others took their journeys further—like a soccer star headed to France and the historic D.C. Unified team playing in Houston. This wasn’t just about medals—it was about community, courage, and connection.

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.
