Asking For A Friend

Jillian Birkle, Carrie Esposito

Booking Overview

A healthcare interview show focused on women’s health, functional medicine, aesthetics, plastic surgery, and candid patient experiences, typically featuring licensed clinicians and practice-affiliated experts alongside occasional patients. PR agencies could credibly pitch board-certified physicians, physician assistants, nurses, dietitians, licensed aestheticians, cosmetic tattoo specialists, and patient advocates with relevant lived experience; booking difficulty is likely low to medium because the show favors accessible subject-matter experts over high-profile personalities.
