Half Past Chai

Hallie Patel, Suketu Patel

Booking Overview

This is a couple-led lifestyle and relationship show focused on interracial marriage, Indian-American experiences, family, and mental health, with occasional interviews featuring regional creators and consumer-brand founders. Agencies could credibly pitch founders, cultural commentators, relationship or mental-health professionals, and creators with compelling cross-cultural stories; booking difficulty is low because guests have established expertise or public-facing work but are not typically major celebrities.
