All in the Mind

Claudia Hammond

Booking Overview

This is a BBC Radio 4 interview-led psychology and mental-health programme featuring university researchers, clinicians, authors, and occasional people discussing lived experience alongside evidence-based analysis. PR agencies could credibly pitch psychologists, psychiatrists, neuroscientists, academic researchers, and authors with relevant research or clinical expertise; booking is likely high difficulty because the programme favors established specialists and prominent university-affiliated experts.
