Description
Elizabeth Farnsworth, former PBS Newshour anchor and reporter turned writer, engaged in a wide-ranging conversation with host Michael Krasny about her career and latest work. The discussion covered her memorable interviews, mentors, and experiences as a foreign correspondent, including traumatic events that led to her leaving that role. Farnsworth reflected on the challenges of modern news reporting and the differences between commercial and public broadcasting. The conversation then shifted to her novel "Last Light," which explores the treatment of German POWs in a fictional Kansas hospital during World War II. Farnsworth shared insights into her creative process, the differences between memoir and fiction writing, and her thoughts on prose style. The dialogue also touched on historical topics such as the underground railroad and school integration, as well as personal reflections from both Farnsworth and Krasny. The conversation concluded with comparisons between broadcasting and podcasting, and reminiscences about notable figures they had interviewed in the past.
