The program features genres such as poetry "short-short fiction," and micro-memoirs. On "Wordish," Jevne hosts area writers who read their own writing. On Facebook, readers use the radio station's page to trade recommendations, share articles and post items related to literacy. She has hosted the program for the past 18 years, during which the program has taken a number of different formats. In "Real Good Words," Holtan interviews Minnesota authors. In one way or another, though, the various platforms serve to connect readers with new material, as well as give them some alternate ways to interact with that material. Hosted out of different locations, each of the radio programs offers a slightly different flavor. The Facebook group is called "KAXE-KBXE What We're Reading." The programs are hosted on 90.5 FM in Bagley and Bemidji, 91.7 FM in Grand Rapids and 89.9 FM in Brainerd. "We realize that you're always looking for something new to read and something someone else recommends," Holtan said "Sometimes just looking through the New York Times Best Seller List doesn't connect in the way a fellow reader who lives here (does)."
Heidi Holtan hosts the radio program "Real Good Words," BSU librarian Tammy Bobrowsky hosts "What we're reading," and Robert Jevne hosts "Wordish." Outside the various radio programs, a Facebook-based group associated with "What We're Reading" allows readers to interact with one another and recommend, review, and spread the word about the books they enjoy.
BEMIDJI-Online and over the airwaves, Northern Community Radio has created a community of bookworms where the readers of the world can step out of their own, private nooks to share their love of the written word with one another.
