Booking Overview

An investigative public-radio news magazine focused on human rights, war and peace, immigration, environmental issues, racism, and poverty, it regularly features external activists, authors, journalists, legal experts, and nonprofit leaders. Agencies could credibly pitch investigative reporters, human-rights and immigration advocates, environmental and nuclear-policy experts, labor organizers, and authors with relevant expertise; booking difficulty is medium because guests generally need established credentials and a strong connection to the show's progressive investigative coverage.
