Bob Kustra

Booking Overview

This is a weekly author-interview radio show focused on books addressing contemporary issues, history, politics, and international affairs, with external authors appearing as guests. Agencies could credibly pitch published authors, journalists, political analysts, historians, and subject-matter experts with substantive books and strong public-interest angles; booking difficulty is high because the show positions itself around leading national authors.
