Open Book with Diana Page Jordan

This book talk show will take you deep into the authors’ views, passions, and process.  Over the years, I have devoured thousands of books and interviewed their authors, and I take that unique perspective into the author interviews you hear every week. You will hear my conversations with best-selling authors, fascinating provocative authors, and local Portland writers about their books, their writing processes, their passions, and their wisdom.

Comment about Open Book with Diana Page Jordan:

From her selection of the most fascinating authors to her remarkable talent for asking just the right questions, Diana Jordan’s show “Open Book” is a real treasure!  When Diana recently interviewed my client Tim Gallwey, author of The Inner Game of Stress, she did a superb job of bringing out many of the best ideas in the book, in a powerful, compelling, and useful way.
