Booking Overview

This is an interview-led geopolitics and technology podcast focused on China and US-China relations, typically featuring analysts, policymakers, academics, and senior national-security professionals. Agencies could credibly pitch China experts, former government officials, defense and foreign-policy scholars, and specialists in technology or supply chains; booking is likely high difficulty because recent guests include senior policymakers and prominent think-tank experts.
