Secretly Incredibly Fascinating

Alex Schmidt, Katie Goldin

Booking Overview

This host-led educational comedy show explores the history, science, lore, and unexpected details behind everyday subjects, with occasional external guests joining the two regular hosts. Credible pitches would include writers, comedians, historians, scientists, and cultural experts with a distinctive connection to an ordinary topic and an engaging, accessible way to explain it; booking is likely medium difficulty because guest appearances are selective rather than routine.
