Episode Details

As a battleground state, North Carolina will be pivotal in the presidential election. But there are many other races in our state that don’t get nearly as much attention. Colin Campbell, WUNC Capitol Bureau Chief, talks with Due South's Jeff Tiberii about some NC Council of State races, and about the lone Congressional race in North Carolina that is expected to be competitive.

Then, ghost tours can be spooky and fun. But they can also perpetuate damaging narratives.

Historian and professor Tiya Miles researched ghost tours from Charleston to New Orleans for her book, Tales from the Haunted South: Dark Tourism and Memories of Slavery from the Civil War Era. 

Dr. Miles talks with co-host Jeff Tiberii about the ghost tour industry in the South and explores the ways many tours have peddled in racist and misogynistic tropes. She also says these tours have the power to reveal important and often untold Southern history, but only when the stories are told with nuance and care.
