About Back Pocket

We're on a mission to help podcasters create exceptional content through deep, comprehensive research.

Our Story

Back Pocket was born from a simple observation: podcasters spend countless hours researching topics and guests, time that could be better spent creating and connecting. We saw talented hosts burning out on research, missing key insights, or settling for surface-level content.

Our team of experienced researchers and journalists decided to change that. We combine rigorous fact-checking, deep archival research, and a passion for storytelling to deliver research dossiers that help podcasters sound their best.

Our Mission

To empower podcasters with the research depth they need to create compelling, accurate, and engaging content—without the time drain of doing it themselves.

We believe every podcaster deserves access to the same level of research quality that top-tier media organizations rely on, delivered in a format that's ready to use.

Our Mission

Our Values

  • Accuracy First: Every fact is verified, every source is credible, every detail matters.
  • Deep Research: We go beyond Wikipedia. We dig into archives, academic papers, and primary sources.
  • Podcaster-Focused: Every dossier is organized for quick scanning and easy reference during interviews.
  • Timely Delivery: We respect your deadlines and deliver when you need it.
