North Carolina Picks Up After Hurricane Irene : NPR

At least this story is linked on the WUNC website this evening; I wonder if it will be there tomorrow? We sure here Manteo mentioned often as a place where WUNC has a transmitter, if I recall correctly. Hmmmm.

Make a Difference — North Carolina Public Radio WUNC

I wonder where WUNC lists all of the winners of their contests?

Weekend Edition Saturday : NPR

I'd never focused precisely on how long the Weekend Editiion Saturday program runs, but I was aware that it did seem to repeat itself at some point.

It looks like WUNC runs the program from 8-10, and then repeats the first hour from 10-11.

How hard would it be to note this here?

All Things Considered : NPR

It says here that the program is 2 hours and that sounds about right. Does that mean that WUNC repeats the first half hour then from 6 to 6:30? Why?

Hmm, does this mean Back Porch Music at a time other than when broadcast?

Farm labor: Children in the fields - CBS News

Note the part of this story that includes a tomato farmer in NC who says that he employs a lot of young teenagers to pick his crop.

I would thinkt that a station that calls itself "North Carolina Public Radio" would be doing several things.

One, reporting more about this practice so we can all understand it better.

Perhaps diverting resources to do this instead of asking listeners to tell the station what they think the Civil War legacy in NC is.

At the VERY least, I'd put a link to this story on the WUNC site and ask for comment about the story and about what WUNC might do to add to the coverage of the issue, again, so we all understand better.
