Word of Mouth

Today on Word of Mouth, we get an insider’s view of book publishing - CEO heads are rolling, A-list authors jumping ship, upstart imprints, and video trailers for books. Plus, experts say the world’s soil is in big trouble, threatening lives and livelihoods. We’ll also hear from a biologist who says nature is composing a symphony all around us - we just have to stop and listen. Plus, a preview of some weekend events that will make you proud to live in New England.
