Last month, Medium launched its first digital video series, Foreword which I’ve finally had the chance to check out and am so glad that I did. I love it!
Foreword is a live audience interview series with authors, both well established and up and comers, hosted by three-time New York Times bestselling author Kelly Corrigan.
The debut episode features writer/director/actor B.J. Novak (One More Thing, The Book with No Pictures). The 2015 season consists of 12 weekly episodes featuring Margaret Atwood, Jason Segel, Mary Roach, Anne Lamott, Nicholas Kristof, John Cleese, Walter Isaacson, Norman Lear, and Daniel Handler.
Good lineup but it’s not exactly diverse and I’d really love to see some diverse debut and established YA authors in the mix. I also wonder if there are really only 12 episodes for the entire year of 2015 because I’m sure there’s a demand for twice that. People will watch. And it looks so much fun to be in the audience! I know I’d love to be there if I had the chance! Check it out yourself:
