The San Francisco publishing platform Medium has launched its first digital series, "Foreword," in which Corrigan interviews authors in front of an audience. Plenty of other programs, from "The Daily Show" to NPR's "Fresh Air," feature writers, but "Foreword" is different - the writers in the series talk about everything but their craft.
"It cannot be just another stop on their book tour," Corrigan said by phone. "This is like if Comedy Central was crossed with TED talks - and they served drinks."
