Frequently asked

How are the best fundraising & capital podcasts ranked?
Every show is ranked purely on substance. We transcribe recent episodes and an AI scores each one across five dimensions - insight density, originality, guest caliber, specificity & evidence, and conversational craft - for a score out of 100. Download numbers and popularity are ignored entirely.
What makes a fundraising & capital podcast score well?
Tightly packed, non-obvious insights; operators and practitioners as guests; specific companies, metrics and examples rather than vague advice; and a host who asks sharp follow-ups instead of softball questions.
How often is this ranking updated?
The Index is refreshed monthly as new episodes are published and scored, so the ranking reflects the current state of each show.
