Best-selling author Mitch Albom gained international fame with his book Tuesdays with Morrie. Now he's back with a new work, called For One More Day that raises similar issues: the lessons that death can teach us about life. Mitch Albom came to the Music Hall in Portsmouth on Friday as part of our Writers on a New England Stage series, where he talked about his book then host Laura Knoy joined him on stage for a few questions of her own and from the live audience. Today we play back to you Friday's show.
Laura is well known in New Hampshire for her in-depth coverage of important issues and is widely regarded for her interviews with presidential hopefuls. Laura is a graduate of Keene High School in New Hampshire. Prior to hosting The Exchange, Laura worked in public radio in Washington, D.C. as a local reporter and announcer for WAMU and as a newscaster for NPR. Before her radio career, she was a researcher for USA Today's "Money" section, and a research assistant at the Institute for International Economics. Laura occasionally guest hosts national programs such as The Diane Rehm Show and Here and Now. In 2007 Laura was named New Hampshire Broadcaster of the Year by the New Hampshire Association of Broadcasters.
