Welcome To A Word On Words with John Seigenthaler

Each Sunday morning, A Word on Words invites you into an in depth discussion between renowned journalist and First Amendment advocate John Seigenthaler and some of the today’s finest novelists, journalists, historians, memoirists and more.

Among the diverse list of notable guests who have appeared on the show over the years are John Updike, Erma Bombeck, Gay Talese, Kris Kristofferson, Robert Hicks, Ann Patchett, David Halberstam, David Maraniss, Kinky Friedman, Studs Terkel, Al Gore Jr., Gail Sheehy, Rick Bragg and Deepak Chopra.

When Seigenthaler closes each episode of A Word on Words with his signature signoff, “Keep Reading,” he means it. Seigenthaler has been hosting the show and celebrating reading and writing for over 35 years.

Each episode dating back to 2006 is also archived here as a downloadable .mp3 podcast. Recent episodes are available on iTunes.
