World Book Club’s Harriett Gilbert explains how she appeals to non-heavy readers

World Book Club’s host explains how to make a show that appeals to those who are not heavy readers. Plus how an edition of HardTalk on Iranian Kurds hit the nail on the head.

World Book Club took to the air over two decades ago and it is still going strong. Each month an author is quizzed by a live audience. We speak with its long-running host Harriett Gilbert and ask how do you make a show appeal to those who are not heavy readers? And listeners give their thoughts.

Plus, how a recent edition of HardTalk on Iranian Kurds hit the nail on the head for a listener in the US.
