After Words
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After Words is a television series on C-SPAN's Book TV. Like Booknotes before it, the concept is "one book, one author, one hour". Unlike Booknotes, a guest (an expert on the particular topic) acts as host, and discusses the book's topic with the author. After Words airs on Saturday at 8:00 p.m., with encores on Sunday at 6:00 p.m. and at 9:00 p.m.
Since its inception in 2005, the weekly one-hour After Words has featured such non-fiction authors as Jimmy Carter, Newt Gingrich, Bob Woodward, Natan Sharansky, Andrea Mitchell, Steve Forbes, Bill Richardson, Madeleine Albright, Andrea Mitchell, Ari Fleischer, Bob Dole, John Kasich, Simon Schama, George Soros, Kevin Phillips, Fred Barnes, Haynes Johnson, Sister Helen Prejean, George Wiegel, Barbara Ehrenreich, and Rahm Emmanuel.
