About Books

From C-SPAN

Book TV is turning a page. The longtime C-span staple is moving beyond its trademark “television for serious readers” and into audio with its new podcast, About Books. Host Peter Slen talks—what else?—books with authors and publishing pros. Tune in to hear Marji Ross, former president of Regnery Publishing, discuss the pitfalls of conservative book publishing. Visit Detroit’s Source Booksellers and listen to owner Janet Webster Jones share her story of creating a thriving online business out of a brickand-mortar store with minimal e-presence prior to the pandemic. (Listen on Spotify, itunes, Stitcher, and c-span.org/ podcasts.)
