Booking Overview

An hour-long interview program focused on American politics, government, history, law, and public affairs, it regularly features authors, journalists, historians, and former government officials discussing significant nonfiction books and public issues. PR agencies could credibly pitch bestselling authors, prominent journalists, historians, legal scholars, diplomats, and senior public officials with substantive expertise; booking is likely high difficulty because recent guests have held prominent national positions or authored major books.
