[edit] Writers On A New England Stage

As of late 2005 NHPR has been in conjunction with the Portsmouth Music Hall to produce a series that interviews writers and authors. So far the series has had such authors as John Updike (Terrorist), Doris Kearns Goodwin, Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code), Alan Alda, and Mitch Albom. It will soon host Cokie Roberts. Laura Knoy of The Exchange is the interviewer, and the award-winning trio Dreadnaught is the featured house band. The River Run Bookstore in Portsmouth is also affiliated.
