You Might Be Right

Phil Bredesen, Bill Haslam

Booking Overview

An interview-focused public policy show co-hosted by two former Tennessee governors, typically featuring academic researchers, pollsters, economists, and civic-policy leaders with differing viewpoints. PR agencies could credibly pitch political scientists, election and polling experts, public-policy scholars, economists, and leaders of nonpartisan or ideological policy organizations; booking difficulty is medium because guests generally need substantial institutional credentials and subject-matter authority.
