Booking Overview

This is an interview podcast focused primarily on local and national musicians, with occasional conversations with poets and other working artists. Agencies could credibly pitch independent musicians, touring performers, emerging bands, published poets, creative academics, and distinctive visual artists; booking difficulty is low because the show regularly features emerging and locally relevant guests rather than highly prominent celebrities.
