Just wanted to let you know about an interesting-sounding radio program today–Richard Stevick (Growing Up Amish: The Teenage Years), Pauline Stevick (Beyond the Plain and Simple: A Patchwork of Amish Lives), and Donald Kraybill (The Riddle of Amish Culture; The Amish Way) will be discussing the Amish for Harrisburg radio station WITF’s Smart Talk program today (Wed 10/27) from 9-10 am.  If you’re not in the WITF broadcasting area, listen online here.

The threesome originally appeared on the Smart Talk show back in September, and have been invited back for another round of questions on the Amish. You can listen to the podcast of that original show here.
