Booking Overview

This is a short-form, solo educational series about the history of technology, engineering, invention, and technological progress, with episodes narrated by the host rather than built around external interviews. It is not a conventional guest-booking opportunity: PR agencies would have no established route for pitching client experts unless the program expands to include interviews, making booking external guests not applicable.
