The New Yorker Radio Hour

David Remnick

Booking Overview

This is a twice-weekly interview and cultural-affairs show covering politics, current events, journalism, arts, and public-interest stories, with external guests including political leaders, authors, musicians, filmmakers, activists, and other prominent newsmakers. PR agencies could credibly pitch established authors, policymakers, journalists, artists, activists, and cultural figures with a major book, film, memoir, investigation, or public issue to discuss; booking is very difficult because the show typically features highly prominent public figures and New Yorker-affiliated subject matter.
