The premium show is themed around "Americana conspiracies" of the type that we deal with regularly here at the Illuminatus Observor.
I prepared my application, short 2 minute video as to why I felt I should be considered for the show, and was a click away from sending the application and video to the casting department. Then I thought - why should I do a two minute video as to why I feel I would be a good fit for this show? So I stopped the process and forgot about the idea.
Well - I just received a very nice email from someone who is working in some form with the producers for the show. The email was as follows:
Mr. Fetcho,
While conducting my research, I came across your blog The Illuminatus Observor. I am working closely with the History Channel in putting together a new show called "Decoded". I would appreciate if you could take a minute to read the breakdown we have composed to find our third and final host for the show. Please feel free to call or email me with any questions. Thank you.
We are looking for a male co-host, ages 35-55 for a premium cable show that focuses on American Conspiracies, Mysteries and Secrets. Our host should be a "believable believer," someone who can challenge traditional scientific and historical methods. This person should bring a fresh perspective to the audience and the team that will allow the series to take unexpected turns i.e. conversations with numerologists, channelers etc. On the other hand, one of the important qualities that he should possess is the ability to not be simply a believer, but also "speak with mathematical and scientific authority" and be able to converse with other members of the team on their own terms. We are looking for someone who can convince our more traditional hosts to rethink their position. He should also be flexible enough to be convinced that he is wrong at times. Finally the host should be smart, playful, a strong communicator and have a good sense of humor. Advanced Degree a plus.
