Each week, host Anisa Khalifa tells one story from our home in North Carolina, at the crossroads of the South. From news to arts and culture, WUNC News’ “The Broadside” dives into issues that might not make the front page, but deserve a closer look. Along the way, we explore the nuances of our home — and how what happens here ripples across the country. Find new episodes of “The Broadside” every Thursday.
Embedded in a warehouse within the Blue Ridge Mountains, climate scientists are collecting rows upon rows of weather data going back centuries. But these archives aren’t just collecting dust – they’re helping us anticipate weather events in the future and create tools to navigate the fallout of the climate crisis.
Featuring:
- Kathie Dello, North Carolina’s state climatologist
- Jason Cooper, archivist at NCEI
- Greg Hammer, meteorologist at NCEI
- Adam Smith, applied climatologist at NCEI
- Joe Williams, farmer at Blue River Legacy Farms
