Target USA Podcast by WTOP

J.J. Green

Booking Overview

This is a national security interview podcast focused on threats to the United States, geopolitics, terrorism, cybercrime, military conflict, and government response, typically featuring external military leaders, diplomats, intelligence and policy experts, and geopolitical analysts. PR agencies could credibly pitch former senior officials, defense and cybersecurity specialists, terrorism researchers, military strategists, and internationally focused policy analysts; booking difficulty is high because the show favors authoritative experts with substantial government, military, diplomatic, or think-tank credentials.
