Episode Details

More than 60 authors, from the nationally famous to the locally beloved (and sometimes both!), are speaking in Madison next week. It’s Madison’s largest celebration of books, and it’s free. This year, most events are in person and take place at the Madison Public Library, at UW Madison and at venues across the city. 

We speak with Jane Rotonda, the new book fest director, about why you should be there. 

📚 The Wisconsin Book Festival runs from October 19 - 22. Get details about all events. See the whole schedule at a glance.
