Authors Live - Tuesdays at 11:00 a.m. on 89.7 |
Spread the word!
Our very own volunteer, Chris Worsnop, has created an amazing radio program on Northumberland 89.7FM titled "Authors Live" Authors Live is a radio program developed specifically for people living in seniors’ residences that airs each Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. The live authors in AUTHORS LIVE are themselves seniors living in the Northumberland area. In the program, they will read aloud a variety of material including extracts from their own writing and pieces from the writing of well-known authors, ranging from poems to short stories. Think of it as an adult ‘story time’. To listen to previous episodes online, head to: https://northumberland897.ca/authors-live |
