Welcome!
Welcome to the Word on the Hills website. Here you will find an archive of radio programs first broadcast on Northumberland 89.7 FM, introduced by your co-hosts Felicity Sidnell Reid and Gwynn Scheltema. The series was initiated in the fall of 2013 and so we are entering our eighth year in 2021. In the past year we were pleased to welcome Chris Cameron to our production and hosting team, primarily as our editor but also as a third host on the show.
Each week we visit with a local author, are introduced to their work and get a glimpse into their lives. We find out what drives them to write and why they choose to express themselves in poetry or in prose, by writing fiction, non-fiction or plays. And we invite them to read from their work. Please join us.

Congrats on the program and best wishes to the Writers Group of SOH.
Thanks for your comment Cynthia. Hope to have you on the show sometime soon.
Congratulations on these great programs, Felicity and Gwynn.
Thanks Helen, we have a great time making these programs.
Thank you for the good work that you do, Felicity and Gwynn.
I’m a new listener and thoroughly enjoying your programs.
Thank you, Gwynn and Felicity, for a wonderful time during the interview. You take away the stress of being on the air and do a great job of editing out the errors!
Very interesting and well done. I’ve shared on Facebook.
Positively the best radio show focusing on authors and their writing. Major broadcasting could learn a thing or two from WOTH specifically, and from Northumberland 89.7 FM in general. Never stop!
I enjoyed the interview with Ted Barris. I am a big fan of his writing about WWII. His stories are fully engaging and bring our history to life. Big congratulations, Ted, on your awards! Well deserved.
