Dear fans of A Word on Words,<\/strong> we have some news. Mary Laura Philpott, who along with J.T. Ellison has hosted the series for five seasons, is leaving the show. During her time as co-host, Philpott interviewed authors across genres in a variety of locations around Middle Tennessee \u2013 and then shifted to virtual interviews once the COVID-19 pandemic sent everyone home for lockdown in March of 2020. A Word on Words<\/strong> won a Midsouth Regional Emmy in its initial season and has remained popular with viewers, readers and authors ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll have news about the new co-host soon. For now, enjoy this special edition of A Word on Words<\/strong> in which Mary Laura is interviewed by J.T. about her favorite, most challenging and most memorable interviews. You\u2019ll also hear a little about her plans, which include the publication of her second memoir-in-essays, Bomb Shelter,<\/strong> in spring 2022 (Atria).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
