Ep 21: Authors on Air with Mark Wish

Author: WVBR-FM Podcasts January 5, 2024 Duration: 52:23
WVBR News Director Jack Donnellan sat down with author, editor, and publisher Mark Wish. Mark and his wife recently founded an annual short story anthology, Coolest American Stories, which pushes its contributors to make their fiction as compelling as possible, reminding them that readers crave “unputdownable” storytelling. Mark’s latest book, which will be released in January 2024, is Necessary Deeds, published by Regal House Titles. We hear an excerpt from the novel, in which Matt Connell, a former literary agent who’s been in prison for four years for a crime of passion—homicide by strangulation after learning his wife slept with a friend—receives an early release to join an FBI undercover investigation of multiple murders in Manhattan. This interview aired live on Talk of the Town on WVBR 93.5 FM on Saturday, November 11, 2023 at 3:00 PM. Catch the full Talk of the Town radio show on Saturdays at 3p on WVBR 93.5 FM or at wvbr.com.

You're tuning into the extended, unfiltered conversation that happens once the microphones on the main broadcast are switched off. Talk of the Town: After Hours takes the core reporting from WVBR-FM's flagship news show-the local and national stories that directly shape life in Ithaca and Tompkins County-and digs deeper. This podcast, presented by WVBR-FM Podcasts, is where the journalists and producers unpack the week's headlines, share the context that didn't make the original Saturday airing, and explore the cultural and societal nuances behind the news. It’s a candid space for follow-up questions, behind-the-scenes details, and longer interviews with the people driving conversations in our community and beyond. While the initial reports set the stage, this audio companion offers the reflective analysis and broader discussion that happens after hours. You’ll hear the same commitment to covering politics and community issues, but with the relaxed pace and expanded depth that only a podcast format can allow. Think of it as the post-show debrief, where the stories you caught on 93.5FM get the additional room they need to breathe, connecting the dots between news, culture, and daily life in our corner of New York.
