Wonder Cabinet

Anne Strainchamps, Steve Paulson

Booking Overview

Interview-led long-form conversations explore science, ecology, philosophy, spirituality, literature, and changing ideas about humanity’s relationship with the planet, with external guests typically being published authors, scholars, scientists, poets, and other established thinkers. Agencies could credibly pitch authors with substantial books, academics, environmental thinkers, theologians, and artists with distinctive perspectives on consciousness, nature, belief, or reality; booking difficulty is high because guests generally have notable credentials and specialized expertise.
