Booking Overview

This is a biweekly local public-affairs interview show focused on Davis-area government, civic issues, community developments, arts, and people with meaningful local connections. A PR agency could credibly pitch Davis or Yolo County officials, civic and nonprofit leaders, locally relevant policy experts, authors, musicians, and other accomplished professionals with a clear Davis connection; booking difficulty is low to medium because local relevance matters more than national prominence.
