Podcast

In this pop-culture obsessed era, books are just as popular as television shows and movies. Water cooler conversations center as much around books like the Da Vinci Code and The Covenant, as they do about the latest Will Smith film or Survivor castaway. Yet, literature programming has taken a backseat to Sports Radio and Conservative ranting. It's time for more talk about words. It's time to take the books off the shelf. It's time for Word of Mouth hosted by Kwame Alexander-poet, playwright, producer, publishing consultant, and author of eight books.

This new, high-energy weekly radio broadcast offers author interviews, lively discussion and debate, book reviews, commentary and controversy from authors and experts on a wide range of books and literary topics. Expect to hear local and nationally known authors like Thomas Ricks, Omar Tyree, Naomi Shihab Nye, Michelle Singletary, and Amy Tan . Combining traditional interviews with cutting-edge segments-Literati Hearsay, Book Trivia & Prizes, Reality Segment-this show is about your favorite books, and the dynamic authors who write them. The host, Kwame Alexander, performs-more like a jazz musician, stylish yet comfortable.

Kwame Alexander isn't your typical, button-downed publisher. Equal parts poet, businessperson, he's an interesting mix of artistic/political idealism and bling bling business savvy.- METRO-TIMES DETROIT

For writers determined to publish their own work, Kwame Alexander endows writers with the confidence they need to self-publish.-PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
