Authors Die Twice

Nathan Wainstein, Bryan Counter

Booking Overview

A two-host arts and cultural criticism show focused on video games, literature, and aesthetic theory, with mostly host-led discussions and occasional external writers. Agencies could credibly pitch published authors, literary critics, game critics, and other cultural writers with substantive work connecting games, literature, or aesthetics; booking difficulty is likely low given the accessible guest profile and niche subject focus.
