Podcast outreach, with evidence.
A sourced founder-interview shortlist for Trade Autobot, with activity checks, audience signals, and guest-booking routes.
Research assumptions
Your request left the guest, ideal customer, and episode threshold as brackets. This report assumes an AI-software founder seeking entrepreneurial listeners and at least 50 episodes. These shows are not verified matches for a retail-trader audience.
Fixed research snapshot: October 23, 2026 · Current activity window: August 25, 2026–October 24, 2026. This is sourced editorial research, not a live feed or an AI-searched answer. Activity eligibility is based on the recorded episode dates; sources have not been refreshed.
Entrepreneurs on Fire
Hosted by John Lee Dumas
Topic focus & audience
Founder interviews, customer growth, business models, and entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners; not a verified audience of retail traders.
Recent guests similar to the assumed profile
Jim Cobb, founder of The Bloodhound Group, October 21, 2026: customer psychology and brand growth. Kipp Lassetter, founder of RBN Rewards, October 19, 2026: building a customer rewards business. Both are founder-story analogues, not verified trading-education founders.
Guest booking
Application-based: the official guest page directs pitches to an application and describes highly selective booking. However, the older /apply page contains a form explicitly marked inactive. Use the current guest page and verify its active application route before sending; no referral-only requirement established.
Audience size signals
- Apple Podcasts US retrieved listing (crawled two weeks before research): 4.8 rating, approximately 3.8K ratings. Ratings are not listener counts and should be rechecked.
- Official guest page claims 175M+ lifetime listens. Apple’s older description says 100M+ lifetime and 1M+ monthly listens; these are publisher claims from different versions, not independent audits.
- No current chart position independently verified.
Activity & episode threshold
5,000+ episodes claimed in the official hosting feed. The guest page separately claims 6,000+ entrepreneur interviews; these are not treated as an audited episode total. Official website lists the October 21, 2026 interview with Jim Cobb. This confirms activity within the August 24–October 23 research window, not necessarily the absolute latest episode.
The Foundr Podcast
Hosted by Nathan Chan
Topic focus & audience
Founder stories, starting a business, scaling, marketing, and lessons from failure. Aspiring founders and people building businesses; audience composition is show positioning, not verified demographics.
Recent guests similar to the assumed profile
The Dad Gang founders (Grant, Bart, and Ejay), episode #717, October 15, 2026: a bootstrapped consumer brand. Similar as product founders, but not fintech or trading educators; guest fit is indirect.
Guest booking
Foundr’s official Contact page directs podcast and magazine pitches to its “Get Featured” form. It says only successful applicants will be contacted.
Audience size signals
- Apple Podcasts US retrieved listing: 4.9 rating and 564 ratings. That listing was crawled two months before this report, so recheck the count before outreach.
- Episode numbering has reached at least #717.
- No show-specific downloads or current chart rank independently verified.
Activity & episode threshold
Episode #717 verified; numbering is not an audited total. Podfollow dates episode #717, “We Started Dad Gang with $750 and One Hat,” to October 15, 2026. This is within the research window; later episodes may exist.
Review counts, ratings, and downloads are not equivalent. Chart positions and booking details should be rechecked before outreach. No guest fee, email address, or listener count has been inferred where it was not verified.
