2
Look for the way in on What It's Like To Be… with Dan Heath's own site
What It's Like To Be… with Dan Heath publishes no contact address in its feed, and we found no contact page in its site's navigation. Its own site is whatitsliketobe.com, so that is where a booking or about link would be. Check the episode outros and the show notes too: plenty of careers hosts read out a pitch address they never put on a page. That is usually the publishing software rather than the host: this feed was built on Buzzsprout, and 16 of the 35 Buzzsprout feeds in this directory leave a stranger no route, including this one. The corpus rate is 16.4% across all 384 feeds we read. Some platforms keep the owner address out of the feed they generate, which is a fair anti-spam default, so read the silence as software and not as a closed door. Open whatitsliketobe.com.
