A Paean to BookTV.org


I'm a big fan of BookTV.org. BookTV is a creation of C-Span. Each weekend they provide 48+ hours of non-fiction authors discussing their latest books. In addition, each week they have an one hour "After Words" interview with a current author. Once a month they have a three hour "In Depth" interview with a current author. This show is on television over the week-end but the best part is it's available on the web. They have a huge video archive. Here's a sample list of recent shows.
1. After Words: Barbara Perry, "Rose Kennedy: The Life and Times of a Political Matriarch," hosted by Vincent Bzdek, Washington Post News Editor 
2. "Six Women of Salem: The Untold Story of the Accused and Their Accusers in the Salem Witch Trials" 
Marilynne Roach

3. "Hope After Faith: An Ex-Pastor's Journey From Belief to Atheism" 
Jerry DeWitt
Ann Kirchner
5. After Words: Karen Houppert, "Chasing Gideon: The Elusive Quest for Poor People's Justice," hosted by Jenna Greene, National Law Journal
