Sean Cassidy

Booking Overview

This is a monthly interview podcast focused on Nova Scotia rock climbing, featuring external guests from the regional climbing community such as accomplished climbers, coaches, route setters, organization leaders, guidebook authors, and filmmakers. PR agencies could credibly pitch climbing athletes, outdoor coaches, climbing-community advocates, route developers, and experts in training or injury prevention; booking difficulty is low because guests are generally accessible professionals with strong regional or specialist credentials rather than major celebrities.
