Robin Kall is the creator and host of Reading with Robin, a WHJJ Providence, RI radio talk show devoted to authors, readers, and their favorite--and not so favorite--books. The show was launched in November of 2002 with an entertaining and lively look at the books and topics about which people are talking. Listeners are invited to call in with comments and questions for the day’s guest(s) and to participate in contests where the prizes are…you guessed it…sought-after books.

Some of her memorable author guests include: Jodi Picoult, Sue Monk Kidd, Jennifer Weiner, Alice Hoffman, David Baldacci, Claire Cook, Megan McCafferty and such children's authors as Aliki, Lois Lowry, Meg Cabot and Mary Jane Begin. Robin, and her husband Burt, their two teenage children and their dog make their home in East Greenwich, R.I. While her family has a lot of diverse interests, everyone enjoys reading (except the dog, who won’t sit still long enough), and all are enthusiastic supporters of her book-related endeavors.

Robin has always been active in the community and has been attracted most to those activities that involve reading. As a volunteer at Women & Infants Hospital of RI, she was an auxilian who worked on their first Storybook Ball in the 80s, and its Festival of Authors. She organized Moses Brown School book fairs that brought in leading children’s authors, and continues to lead the reading circle that she initiated at Temple Beth El in Providence, and a mother/daughter book club.

She has served on the Board of Directors of Reading Across Rhode Island and the Rhode Island Center for the Book, and is the guest at book club meetings throughout the state. Close to Robin’s heart is her involvement in The American Cancer Society Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. Listeners and friends have come out to make the “Walking with Robin” team one of the top fundraising efforts in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and is looking forward to an even bigger 2007! Robin was the state emcee for the 2004 kick-off event as well as the 2007 Pacesetter kick-off event emcee. The 2006 Walking With Robin team was highlighted on a special ACS Making Strides Against Breast Cancer poster which included her personal story.

A successful author writes and re-writes in an attempt to touch the reader in some lasting, often indefinable way. Each week Robin Kall reaches out to readers and writers alike helping to make that connection and continues to build her loyal audience with each show.
