This week, people with mental health challenges or substance use disorder often end up in jail. But crisis response teams offer another way. Also, one year after the Mountain Valley Pipeline went into service, people who live directly in the pipeline’s path have received compensation. But not everyone. And, the Sacred Harp songbook gets an update for the first time since the early 1990s.
We’ll still have your favorites, like Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me, Prairie Home Companion and Car Talk.
And we’re adding some great shows to our weekend lineup – like The Splendid Table, America’s Test Kitchen – and a lot more!
Have you ever parked in your driveway, unable to leave your car until the story you’re listening to comes to an end?
That’s a driveway moment, and we’re going to be bringing you more “driveway moments” than ever with our improved Saturday schedule.
Saturday afternoon is storytime, with This American Life, Snap Judgment, The Moth, Studio 360 and the TED Radio Hour.
The hilarious Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me is coming to Saturday morning, in addition to its current Sunday slot. And the compelling science and storytelling show Radiolab moves to Sunday morning at 11.
And there’s lots to like in our improved schedule for our fans of Mountain Stage – our signature live performance program.
Starting in July, you’ll be hearing a lot more Mountain Stage. Listen for it Friday and Saturday evenings, starting at 8 – it’ll even be keeping you company overnight!
We’ll also have a new time slot for Eclectopia – and a couple of new programs featuring your favorite music…with a West Virginia twist.
Our wonderful folk music programs – including the West Virginia-produced show, Sidetracks – are moving to Sunday evening, starting at 7.
We’ll be rolling out the entire schedule on July 1. Keep checking wvpublic.org, and follow us on Facebook and Twitter for the latest.
On this week's premiere broadcast of Mountain Stage, host Kathy Mattea welcomes Jeff Tweedy, The War and Treaty, Johnnyswim, and Olivia Ellen Lloyd. Recorded live at the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, WV.
WVPB recently hosted a pair of musicians from West Virginia University (WVU) to come perform live in-studio during Classical Music with Matt Jackfert. Albert Houde, associate horn professor at WVU and principal horn with the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra (WVSO), and Sun Jung Lee, collaborative pianist at WVU, serenaded our Wednesday afternoon with a live performance of Reimaginings by Frank Gulino.
