Regular listeners to our afternoon programming will immediately recognize the voice of Terry Gross. She has been the host of Fresh Air for 50 years – well before it became a national staple. We talk with her about the unique medium of public radio.
President Donald Trump on Sunday said he's invited the family of a National Guard member fatally shot last week to the White House, saying he spoke to her parents and they were “devastated.”
Giving Tuesday is a time when we focus on what truly sustains our community. West Virginia Public Broadcasting's mission perfectly aligns with that generosity. We're asking you to directly fund the quality and depth that sets WVPB apart, supporting the work that delivers news and entertainment each day.
