Wants
The Closer Cut is a 15–20 minute, one-to-one, TV-style interview show hosted by Waseem Mirza, an award-winning BBC News television presenter, current BBC / HBO screen actor and technology keynote host. We want guests who are credible, working experts or authors with a clear point of view. We're not after generic promotion.
Currently accepting pitches on:
Leaders, founders and operators with a hard-won lesson on leadership, decision-making, agility or high performance. Give me the decision, the pressure and what they'd do differently.
Practical AI and emerging tech voices. We want real business use of agentic AI, automation, AI in media and production, and what changes in the next 12–24 months.
Authors with a new book or framework that can be explained in a sentence and argued with in 20 minutes. New innovation or innovative thinking around old problems, Systems thinking, self-leadership and mental toughness / high performance all fit.
Culture and future-trends thinkers who can link technology, entertainment, work and society to something audiences can act on.
People with a strong story behind the expertise: a failure, a pivot, a counter-intuitive finding.
Every pitch must include: the guest's name and credentials, three specific talking points or questions, why the audience should care now, and any proof of speaking ability (a clip or past interview). Guests must be comfortable travelling to our nominated London studio at their own expense, or failing that: in their own remote studio, with a camera set specifically to 4K capture, with a broadcast quality mic and lighting setup, and a plain or green-screen background that does not clash with their worn clothing or hair. If any of these components are not available to the guest, the fallback option is recording in our studio space within London.
Yes to: original data, contrarian but defensible views, UK and international guests, and people who can be concise and speak in a way that anyone can u
Do not pitch
get-rich-quick or MLM themes, unqualified health or medical claims, political campaigning, anyone who can't commit to the time limit, or pitches that are mass-mailed with no mention of the show.
Reachable, but check the format. The contact is the show's own and it is independently
published, but recent episode titles show little sign of interviews. Read a few before pitching.
How this show compares to other business & finance podcasts
