The Good Fight

Yascha Mounk

Booking Overview

Interview-led political affairs show focused on democracy, authoritarian populism, political institutions, and strategies for defending liberal democracy, with recurring guests including public intellectuals, authors, journalists, political strategists, academics, and business or technology leaders. Agencies could credibly pitch established scholars, policy experts, authors, journalists, democratic campaign strategists, and institutional leaders with original research or a substantive book; booking is likely high-difficulty because the show regularly features prominent, highly credentialed guests.
