This Site: This website houses the archives for the radio program Living Writers on WCBN FM Ann Arbor 88.3 and streaming on wcbn.org. WCBN is the freeform station at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. The most current shows will be posted weekly. Gradually the show archives will be added until we arrive at T Hetzel’s first show in April of 2007.
Photos: Many of the photographs on the site have been taken at WCBN on the day of the conversation. Other photos that appear on the site are from author’s websites, their publishers or University sites. Some additional photos appearing on the site are “free use” images. Please credit Living Writers and T Hetzel if you would like to use photos taken at the radio station. For all other photo permissions, please consult the copyright holder.
Site Construction: BIG THANKS to Jason Adam Voss (JAV) for bringing this site back to life with new links to archival shows. Starting in 2024 and continuing into 2025, JAV is updating the website with current shows and digging into the lost audio files to fill in all the many gaps from the past. T has been working with Living Writers since April 2007, so hopefully this site can eventually build out this part of Living Writer’s history. Living Writers itself predates T, and goes a long way back. Maybe one day, former hosts will link to this site for a full audio history of the program. Historic thanks to Kathryn O’Neil who kicked off this endeavor and made great strides during her WCBN internship summer 2016 and thanks also to Sarah Sisk for gamely tackling audio files, Audacity, and more as part of her WCBN internship summer 2017. Thanks to poet Stephanie Douglass Carpenter for helping with audio files during her tenure as engineer too! Thanks to Jeremiah Cook, Jessica Wolking and Kristin Sumrall for supporting this site at the critical beginning stages.
Audio Files: Thanks most of all to Jason Adam Voss for making Living Writers audio files accessible once more. Thanks also to Jason’s knowledge and expertise in postproduction for packaging shows from our tapings and shows to reair. Thanks also to Frank Uhle, for helping through the years, with his time and energy as engineer.
