'LeVar Burton Reads' On New Stitcher Podcast

Burton

LEVAR BURTON is revisiting his "READING RAINBOW" roots with a new weekly storytelling podcast for STITCHER, "LEVAR BURTON READS."  The show, which finds the "STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION" and "ROOTS" star reading short stories, will be available first to STITCHER PREMIUM subscribers and later for general podcast distribution.  The debut, available TODAY, includes BURTON reading BRUCE MCALLISTER's "KIN."

"Literature is my passion, and I can't wait to share my favorite new stories with our listeners," said BURTON. "Reading is as critical to adults as it is to children, and I think this show will help listeners remember to take time out of our busy schedules to slow down and take in a good story."

"When it comes to storytelling, the first name millions of Americans think of is LEVAR BURTON," said MIDROLL/STITCHER/EARWOLF Chief Content Officer CHRIS BANNON. "'LEVAR BURTON READS' connects a truly beloved performer with the fans he's acquired over an amazing career in a whole new medium -- audio. It's the perfect new platform to showcase his talents."
