Booking Overview

This is an interview-led pop-culture and television history show focused on women-driven 1980s TV, media representation, and behind-the-scenes creative context, featuring external TV writers, producers, actors, directors, and cultural commentators. A PR agency could credibly pitch television creators and performers, authors on women’s media or representation, and experts with a strong connection to 1980s television or pop culture; booking difficulty is medium because guests generally need relevant industry credentials or a compelling personal connection.
