Chapter A Day (Wisconsin Public Radio)

New chapter posted every weekday

Started in 1931, "Chapter a Day" is WPR's longest-running program. Jim Fleming, Norman Gilliland, Susan Sweeney and Michele Good read a chapter from a book for a half hour each weekday. Genres are predominately contemporary and range from works of fiction, history and biography. "Chapter A Day" can be heard weekdays on the Ideas Network at 12:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. Readings are archived for just one week after their broadcast due to publisher copyright restrictions.

NOTE: binge listening to these books is pretty much impossible for two reasons. First, chapters expire one week after first being broadcast and second, new chapters are only added on weekdays. If you wait until the book is finished before you start listening, the first few chapters will no longer be available.

Chapter A Day (Wisconsin Public Radio)

• FREE -- Long Way Round (15 ch) -- John Hildebrand -- history -- 01~19 Mar -- exp 7 days

Wisconsin is in the midst of an identity crisis, torn by new political divisions and the old gulf between city and countryside. Cobbling rivers together, from the burly Mississippi to the slender wilds of Tyler Forks, Hildebrand navigates the beautiful but complicated territory of home. In once prosperous small towns, he discovers unsung heroes—lockmasters, river rats, hotelkeepers, mechanics, environmentalists, tribal leaders, and perennial mayors—struggling to keep their communities afloat.

"Chapter A Day" can be heard weekdays on the Ideas Network at 12:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. Readings are archived for just one week after their broadcast due to publisher copyright restrictions.
