Press Room

• podcast Richard Longworth

  Author Richard Longworth appeared for a lunchtime presentation in the Kankakee Public Library's 4th floor auditorium to discuss his latest book, Caught in the Middle. The book explores the new realities of life in the heartland. The results add up to a portrait of the vast and influential segment of America's economy and culture that goes almost entirely ignored in the media. In this program he addresses what's right and what's wrong in the region and offers a prescription of how it must change if it is to survive and prosper. This program was sponsored by the Kankakee Public Library, the Economic Alliance of Kankakee County, the Kankakee Chamber of Commerce, HomeStar Bank and Bennett Commercial. 47 minutes 34 sec.
