Omnibus

Ken Jennings, John Roderick

Booking Overview

A weekly interview-driven encyclopedia of strange-but-true stories, typically featuring outside contributors known as “Futurelings” who bring specialized knowledge of a historical, scientific, cultural, or unusual subject. Agencies could credibly pitch knowledgeable authors, historians, researchers, and niche subject-matter experts with strong storytelling ability; booking difficulty is low because guests are generally accessible specialists rather than high-profile celebrities.
