Beyond Substance

Dean Babcock, Jodi Miller

Booking Overview

This is a public-health interview and narrative show focused on substance use, prevention, treatment, recovery, and community responses, typically featuring healthcare professionals, attorneys, researchers, community leaders, and people with relevant lived experience. Agencies could credibly pitch addiction and behavioral-health clinicians, public-health researchers, treatment-court or reentry professionals, recovery advocates with established public work, and community program leaders; booking difficulty is likely low because the show favors accessible subject-matter experts over highly prominent public figures.
