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.
