When something affects us, we often feel a need to share it. Perhaps a passage from a book or even a poem excites or engages you. You just want to share that excitement by telling someone else about it. Today’s episode of Worlds Awaiting is prompted by an event sponsored by LitWorld. It’s called “World Read Aloud Day.” Coming up, some of our BYU Radio colleagues share passages from their favorite books. 

 

Featured are: 

Jeff Simpson, Co-host of the The Matt Townsend Show reading from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. 

 

Tennery Norton is the producer of Top of Mind and she'll be sharing a passage from a favorite book of hers, Peter Pan, by J. M. Barrie

 

Reed Wolfley, also of the Top of Mind team, reads from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. 

 

Our host Rachel Wadham shares The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher by Beatrix Potter. 

 

Cole Wissinger, Technical Director, Worlds Awaiting, finishes things off with a fun picture book by Krystin Crow, Bedtime in the Swamp.
