Memoir coach and author Marion Roach

Welcome to The Memoir Project, the portal to your writing life.

Memoir Writing on the Air: Me, Studio 360 and an Aha Moment

THE RADIO IS my favorite medium, and so it is truly a thrill to tell you that I’ll be on the wonderful PRI show Studio 360 this weekend, telling a piece of memoir. Part of their ongoing series of Aha Moments, this is a tale of how a piece of art changed my life. In my case, it was a book.

Studio 360 is my favorite show on public radio, and this among my favorite stories. The combination makes this one of the great joys of my life. Please share it with me.

Please find your station here and listen in.

    I LOVE Studio 360 on my local NPR station! I will definitely be with you, if at ALL possible! (Our farm, in a valley mostly, does not get very good reception, but I will TRY to be in town then!) By the way, my comments are still disappearing. You may want to have your tech person fix it so that our website links, which you provide a space for, do not throw us into spam filters UNLESS we put a link directly in the comment block, okay?

    Marion,
    First, the syllabus and now the radio spot. Congrats! I’m going to check and see if Studio 360 is picked up by my Tampa PBS station.
