Who What When

Daniel Thompson, Brandon Gray

Booking Overview

An interactive history-and-pop-culture quiz show that periodically brings on external historians, authors, professors, and other subject-matter experts for focused conversations and quiz segments. PR agencies could credibly pitch academically credentialed experts with accessible expertise in history, literature, entertainment, gaming, or related cultural topics; booking difficulty is likely low because recent guests are university faculty and specialist authors rather than major public figures.
