Charlotte Talks

by

Launched in April 1998, Charlotte Talks with Mike Collins has become the region’s exclusive forum for the discussion of politics, arts, culture, social issues, literature, human interest, the environment and more. North Carolina author Jason Motts has had a remarkable amount of success as a writer — with his debut novel “The Returned” adapted into an ABC TV series, and his fourth novel, “Hell of a Book,” winning the 2021 National Book Award for fiction. He’ll join guest host Erik Spanberg for a look at his poetry and novels, and his roots in North Carolina.
