Wordy Birds interviews are a click away, below!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Liz Humes is an artist, writer, radio host, activist and mother. But mostly she just likes to “read, think about ideas and listen to cool people talk.” She has read a book a week since February 2005, when the first version of Wordy Birds debuted on WRIR 97.3 FM, which is now broadcast every Friday at noon from Richmond, Virginia.<\/p>\n

All Wordy Birds interviews are conducted face-to-face with the authors. To listen outside of the Richmond metro area, the show is streamed live on www.wrir.org.<\/a><\/p>\n

Liz is currently the President of the board of WRIR-LP FM. Prior to her involvement with Richmond Independent Radio, Liz was the publisher of Punchline<\/em>, a free alternative weekly in Richmond. She has also worked with local and national publications including Vegetarian Times<\/em>, the Richmond Times-Dispatch<\/em>, Style Weekly<\/em> and the Greater Richmond Partnership Viewbook<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n

She is available for public speaking engagements, panel discussions and general book chat. Interested authors, publishers and publicists can contact her at lizs@writ.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Below, just click on the title of the book and you’ll be taken directly to the Wordy Birds web site where you can hear the interview.<\/p>\n
