On this West Virginia Week, the body of a missing miner was recovered, guaranteed median income comes to Mercer County, and with Halloween over and Thanksgiving a few weeks away, what can you do with those leftover pumpkins?
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.

This week's premiere broadcast of Mountain Stage was recorded live at the Canady Creative Arts Center on the campus of West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV. Host Kathy Mattea welcomed SHADOWLANDS feat. S. Carey and John Raymond, Tae & The Neighborly, Damn Tall Buildings, Erin McKeown, and Ken Yates.
We have a conversation with Marshall University's Turning Point USA chapter president. We also learn about a recently released horror film shot near Huntington, and the population decline in central Appalachia that may be getting worse.
