Author Kelly Corrigan, whose best-selling memoirs included stories from growing up in her Villanova home, premiered a new show on PBS NewsHour, writes Ellen Gray for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Corrigan launched her interview show, “Tell Me More With Kelly Corrigan,” this week, a follow up to segments she did for PBS NewsHour.

The 53-year-old lives in Northern California, but she’s a 1985 graduate of Radnor High School, where she recently gave the keynote address at the school’s June remote graduation ceremony.

Corrigan’s also launching a weekly podcast, “Kelly Corrigan Wonders.”

Corrigan avoids the superficial in her stories, as a service to her readers and viewers.

Keeping with that idea, her new show is more than just Hollywood celebrities talking about their careers. Part of the focus has to be about life in America today.

“With Jen [Garner] we talked more about rural poverty and raising children and her life as a single mom than we did about any particular movie she’s been in or winning the Golden Globe [for Alias],” Corrigan says.

She supports the idea that an individual achievement is the outcome of a thousand moments of grace, opportunity, luck and teamwork.
