Uncanny Valley | WIRED

Katie Drummond, Zo Schiffer, Brian Barrett, Leah Feiger

Booking Overview

A technology news and interview show focused on Silicon Valley, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, privacy, and the intersection of technology with politics, business, and culture; its external interviews typically feature influential executives, founders, creators, and experts with authoritative technology perspectives. Credible pitches include technology CEOs, cybersecurity researchers, AI specialists, privacy advocates, policymakers, and prominent cultural figures with substantive technology connections, but booking is likely high difficulty because the show regularly features nationally recognized guests and operates under WIRED’s editorial standards.
