Broad History

Isabelle Roughol

Booking Overview

A history interview podcast focused on women’s roles in major historical events, with recurring external guests who are historians, biographers, authors, and journalists. PR agencies could credibly pitch published historians, subject-matter experts, and authors with research or books on women’s history, American history, gender, politics, or slavery; booking difficulty is medium because guests are established experts but generally not major mainstream celebrities.
