Nancy Quatrano on Birdsong

Nancy Quatrano

One of the hottest syndicated Internet talk radio shows on the air these days, is “Birdsong”, a weekly show hosted by Harvard Law School graduate, former law professor, former diplomat, and former federal prosecutor, Leonard Birdsong, JD.

The author of a successful collection of unique books that focus on dumb, weird, and zany criminal stories, Birdsong is about helping other authors, too. His interview with Nancy Quatrano, who writes murder mysteries as N.L. Quatrano, will air on TalkZone.com radio on Sunday, Sep 30 at 9:07 pm (EST).

Visit https:/www.talkzone.com/shows/LegalChannel/Birdsong to listen on Sunday or a later date. The luxury of Internet radio shows is that they’re archived and available to listeners 24/7 once recorded. Archived earlier shows are available on that same channel.
