About The Radio Program
The journal's companion public-radio program is produced by Illinois Public Radio’s hub station, WUIS-WIPA, and airs the first Wednesday of each month. Contributors to the print journal may be invited to read their work for the public-radio program.
Hosted by Joanna Beth Tweedy, the program is dedicated to exploring and celebrating the literary arts, and examining the roles they play in our lives.
The term “quiddity” denotes, by OED definition, “the real nature or essence of a thing; that which makes it what it is.” Without doubt, the crafters of literary art are its very essence, and those who partake in the discourse make it what it is.
As such, each Quiddity radio program features interviews from scholars and writers of poetry and prose from around the world and brings those conversations and original creative works to WUIS listeners, as well as highlights from the companion international literary journal, published by Springfield College-Benedictine University.
First Wednesdays - monthly at 6:30 p.m.
