Carolina Public Humanities organizes events in Chapel Hill all the time – but they also branch out with events across the state! This month, Joanna Flynn and Beth Gardiner stop by to chat with Aaron about Expedition Asheville: a full weekend of art workshops, film screenings, history talks, and more, all taking place March 27-29 in conjunction with numerous organizations in the Asheville area.

97.9 The Hill WCHL and Chapelboro.com are your headquarters for local news and local voices in Chapel Hill-Carrboro. Every weekday morning, 97.9 The Hill’s Aaron Keck chats with government officials, UNC scholars, business and nonprofit leaders, area musicians, and others in our community as they share their thoughts, their experience, and their expertise on the central issues of today. Click here to listen back to all of Aaron’s conversations – and tune in to “This Morning with Aaron Keck” at 7:30 a.m. on 97.9 The Hill to hear those conversations live.

Every month, Aaron welcomes UNC’s Carolina Public Humanities to the studio for a regular feature called “Oh, the Humanities!” spotlighting humanities work and upcoming events on campus. Click here to listen back to all of those discussions.
