Sarah Blake, author of "The Postmistress," reads a short passage from the book in which a broadcast dispatcher named Frankie Bard broadcast a very emotional moment from overseas in London during World War 2, alongside Edward R. Murrow.  This full interview from a 2011 episode of "Conversations On The Coast with Jim Foster" can be heard now wherever you get your podcasts.

Annie Barrows, co-author of "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society," talks about how the author within the story asks three questions: why a roast pig dinner had to be kept secret, how a pig could spark the beginning of a literary society, and what exactly a potato peel pie is.  The full interview from a 2008 episode of "Conversations On The Coast with Jim Foster" can be heard now wherever you get your podcasts.  The book was co-authored by Mary Ann Shaffer.
