BOOKSMARTStart a conversation TV and podcast booking and producing
We book and produce talent for podcasts, video podcasts, television and branded entertainment at every level, from emerging voices and subject-matter experts to A-list celebrities and global icons. Deep relationships, cultural intelligence and executive-level producing let us handle both the access and every detail around the appearance.
Experience across
The most important booking conversations happen months before the rest of the world knows what is coming out. We stay close to representatives, studio executives, publishers and publicity teams so we can identify the right window early and begin the conversation while it still matters.
We know the new project, the unexpected interest, the social conversation and the interview angle that makes a personal pitch feel timely instead of transactional.

One team. Many points of view.
Booksmart is a collective of respected talent bookers and producers from different generations, markets and corners of the industry. Those varied perspectives help us understand what resonates across audiences, while our different contacts create more paths to the right talent.
Experience across generations gives us a wider cultural lens, stronger editorial instincts and a clearer sense of who will connect right now.
Each member of the team brings distinct relationships with talent representatives, publicists and entertainment executives across the country.
A producer’s point of view
In addition to leading talent strategy, Booksmart’s founder has spent years as an executive producer across television and podcasts. That experience creates a unique lens on every booking and how to produce the talent to find moments that will stand out.
That producing background creates a rare advantage. We understand what a host needs, what a representative needs, what a production can actually deliver and which interview angle is strong enough to make someone pick up the phone. We do not hide behind mass emails. We personally pitch why the opportunity makes sense.
Great relationships open the door, but they are only the beginning. Our talent strategy is informed by an unusually deep, ongoing engagement with pop culture across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and the wider conversation, as well as the personal stories shaping celebrities, founders and the people behind the scenes. We look beyond the typical promotional cycle to ask why this person, why this show and why now. Every invitation is built around a specific angle that gives talent and their representatives a compelling reason to say yes, while giving the audience a conversation they have not already heard.
We use audience analytics alongside editorial instincts to understand which guests attract attention, which topics hold viewers, what converts casual viewers into returning listeners and where a show has room to grow. Those insights inform the talent pipeline, the reason for each invitation and how we produce the conversation once the guest is booked.
Resourceful, organized and relentlessly professional, we are trusted by talent representatives, entertainment executives and production teams because we lead clearly and follow through.
We combine audience analytics with cultural intelligence, social conversation and upcoming project research to understand who audiences care about and why.
We speak with representatives months before a project is announced, while calendars and opportunities are still open.
We pick up the phone and make a thoughtful case for why this talent, this interview and this moment make sense.
We manage outreach, follow-ups, scheduling, logistics, approvals and every moving piece around the talent.
We stay on it through final confirmation, then hand your production team a fully buttoned-up booking.
We remember every call, calendar hold and detail that made it possible.
What clients ask us
We manage TV and podcast talent strategy, research, representative identification, personal outreach, follow-up, scheduling, logistics, approvals and final confirmation. The goal is not simply to fill a calendar. It is to secure guests who fit the show, audience and cultural moment.
The strongest TV and podcast bookings often begin months before a film, series, book, tour or other project is publicly announced. Starting early gives representatives more flexibility and gives the production time to develop an interview angle that feels specific and worthwhile.

Yes. Our executive producing background gives us a distinct point of view on talent producing. We help shape the angle, prepare the appearance and identify the moments that can become a memorable interview, strong episode and compelling social content.
