Booking Overview

A university research interview podcast focused on conversations with Ohio State researchers, faculty members, and artist-scholars about their work and expertise. Agencies could credibly pitch university professors, accomplished researchers, and scholarly or artistically distinguished experts with original work relevant to the arts and sciences; booking is likely high difficulty for unaffiliated clients because the format primarily showcases Ohio State experts.
