Death in The Garden

Jake Marquez, Maren Morgan

Booking Overview

This long-form environmental and cultural interview show examines ecology, climate change, food systems, holism, civilization, and humanity’s relationship with nature, with occasional extended conversations featuring specialist practitioners and thinkers. Agencies could credibly pitch environmental researchers, regenerative agriculture leaders, food-system experts, philosophers, and cultural critics with substantive work in these areas; booking difficulty is medium because the show combines niche intellectual fit with a willingness to feature both established leaders and lesser-known experts.
