The Canopy with Jacob Hooker

Jacob Hooker

Booking Overview

This is a long-form mental health and psychiatry interview show featuring unhurried, one-on-one conversations with prominent scientists, physicians, and historians of mental illness. Credible pitches would include senior psychiatric researchers, neuroscientists, clinicians, medical historians, and authors with substantial original contributions; booking is likely very difficult because recent guests are nationally recognized academic and institutional leaders.
