Great Podversations are produced by Kentucky Author Forum and distributed by Louisville Public Media.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Kentucky Author Forum programming began in 1996 as part of a bicentennial effort of University of Louisville, which is the title sponsor. As schedules allow, authors and interviewers visit the campus. Historian, professor and journalist Jill Lepore was part of a seminar in which she discussed writing, research, her professional journey, and her long-term project called Amend- an NEH-funded data collection of attempts to amend the U.S. Constitution. During his on-campus visit, Pulitzer Prize-winner Richard Powers talked about his creative writing process, his books, and the environment. Both authors answered questions from those in attendance. The events were open to the entire campus community and attendees included faculty, staff and alumni. Discounted tickets for the staged events in the evenings are also available to the campus community. All authors and interviewers shared less formal conversations with community members, educators, and civic and business leaders at Forum dinners, following the staged events. Over 100 people associated with University of Louisville participated in the various activities.
