Read With Me

Benjamin Wittes

Booking Overview

A discussion-driven current-affairs and document-analysis show that features the host alongside friends, commentators, and people with firsthand connections to newsworthy events. Agencies could credibly pitch legal and policy experts, foreign-affairs analysts, journalists, and relevant firsthand witnesses; the informal guest pattern and lack of apparent celebrity requirement suggest relatively low booking difficulty.
