A one-of-a-kind legend like Evel Knievel deserves a one-of-a-kind museum. The Evel Knievel Experience is a look at the folk hero that was Evel Knievel, located in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Episode #415
Ian Grant has spent years collecting all elements of the Gremlins films and now he's sharing it with everyone. The Gremlins Museum Collection is, for now, an on-line repository of his collection of scripts, photos, props and, oh yeah, actual Gremlins. And if that wasn't enough, Ian's work and dedication has led to the discovery of the legendary almost 3 hour long cut of the original Gremlins. For more information and to see the collection for yourself, check out their website.
Episode #414
The Halloween craze has always been with us. But one man can be credited with blowing it up into what it is today. That man is David Bertolino and in his new book, "Behind the Screams at Spooky World," he explains how he built a haunted hayride into a must-see event in New England and then across the country. The book is available now, wherever you get your books.

FAQs
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.
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.
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.
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.
