Todd Hunter, Matt Saintsing, Jonathan Kaupanger

Booking Overview

A mission-driven veterans-affairs interview show focused on military service, veterans’ benefits, healthcare, mental health, and caregiver experiences, with external guests including senior VA officials and veterans sharing firsthand stories. Agencies could credibly pitch VA and federal healthcare leaders, veteran advocates, mental-health and benefits experts, caregivers, and veterans with distinctive recovery or service experiences; booking difficulty is medium, with subject relevance and authentic veteran connections more important than broad celebrity status.
