Surviving the Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime

Joel Waldman, Karmela Waldman

Booking Overview

A daily true-crime analysis show focused on high-profile investigations, criminal trials, psychology, and courtroom developments, typically featuring external experts such as profilers, detectives, attorneys, prosecutors, and forensic specialists. Agencies could credibly pitch forensic psychologists, investigators, criminal-defense or prosecution attorneys, trial journalists, victims’ advocates, and relevant authors or survivors; booking difficulty is high because the show favors recognized subject-matter authorities with direct case or professional experience.
