About Us

TalkGuests.Com is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adventures In Media, Inc, a full-service media consulting, publicity and promotions agency that has served the literary and entertainment industry for decades. The founder of TalkGuests.com is media veteran Rod Mitchell. His background is comprised of broadcast news journalism, with more than 24 years experience as a publicist.

During the Gulf War, the media's need for contributors for working news stories brought many media outlets knocking at his door. They were seeking former military officers and experts who could provide commentary and a professional viewpoint on the war in the Middle East. From his long list of literary clients, all of whom were non-fiction authors, serving as consultants or experts in many fields, Rod had the ideal list of contributors that the media were seeking. In December of 1992, that innovation led to the formation of TalkGuests.com.

Today, TalkGuests.com reaches out and serves all primary national radio and TV news and talk editors, producers and guest bookers, as well as major newspapers and TV news magazines in the top 50 markets. His 'Avails' service is FREE to the media and more than 3,800 media outlets subscribe to his service worldwide. Subscribers receive occasional email press alerts, when timely news stories, authors or experts become available, and his web site lists more than 150 experts in more than 90 separate fields.

Because of his professional background and experience in journalism, and unique understanding of news desk protocols, he works comfortably with major cable and broadcast networks. Many of Rod's clients are called upon regularly as expert contributors on FOX NEWS, CNN, MSNBC, Court TV and CNBC, and all major TV news magazines on ABC, NBC, and CBS (Dateline, 20/20, 60-Minutes, 48-Hrs, ect.).

Rod's media contacts and relationships have propelled him to be considered as one of the top freelance news and talk publicists in the country.

If you have a colorful, newsworthy story, or wish to contribute to a story currently in the news, or simply have questions, please feel free to drop Rod a line.  He would love to hear from you.
