Eleanor Wachtel has interviewed literary authors on the radio since 1987 when she began to work full-time as Literary Commentator on CBC Stereo's State of the Arts, and then as writer-broadcaster for The Arts Tonight, and Toronto reporter for The Arts Report. She was host of The Arts Tonight from 1996 to 2007 and has been host of CBC Radio's Writers & Company since its inception in 1990. She also hosts Wachtel on the Arts on Ideas. In 2011, Writers & Company won the New York Festivals Prize for the World's Best Radio Programs. Writers & Company twice won the coveted CBC Award for Programming Excellence for the best weekly show broadcast nationally.


For this event, the microphones will be turned, and Ms. Wachtel will be interviewed by Concordia English scholars Jason Camlot and Katherine McLeod about her work as a literary broadcaster, as part of the “Can Lit Across Media” conference.  The event is free and open to the public.  Registration is not required.
