Want more? Here’s some official info about our fabulous show.
NPT’s Emmy Award-winning A Word on Words features accessible interviews with authors and poets about their latest books. Launched in 2015 with New York Times bestselling author J.T. Ellison and essayist Mary Laura Philpott as co-hosts, the series was designed to be accessible and engaging for a new generation of readers. This season Jeremy Finley, investigative reporter and author, joins J.T. Ellison for more discussions with authors about their work, their process, and what they are reading for inspiration. A Word on Words episodes appear on-air and online. Watch the episodes anytime here.
This latest incarnation of A Word on Words was inspired by A Word on Words with John Seigenthaler, the long-running literary program created by Nashville Public Television that was hosted by the remarkable journalist John Seigenthaler for more than 40 years.
