New WUNC Politics podcast is up!

If you're curious to get to know the state auditor candidates in Tuesday's runoff primary -- or just curious to hear Chris Cooper's analysis of likely turnout and other election dynamics, give it a listen: play.prx.org/listen?ge=prx_… #ncpol

We are excited to announce the launch of our Greensboro bureau.

We’ll be reporting big stories and publishing a free weekly newsletter, The Thread, that pulls it all together. The Thread will launch in June.

Sad to read about the passing of the OG guitar man, Duane Eddy

Was lucky to meet him a couple of times, and once, in one of life’s stranger & more beautiful moments, carried his guitar up a couple of flights of stairs

Lovely guy. And oh, that sound

RIP
