The Measure of Everyday Life

The Measure of Everyday Life is a weekly public radio program featuring researchers, practitioners, and professionals discussing their work to improve the human condition. Independent Weekly has called the show 'unexpected' and notes that the show 'brings big questions to radio.' Dr. Rachel Powell of the CDC Foundation has said the show is "a wonderful resource that communicates ... in a digestible and conversational way." Episodes air weekly in the Raleigh-Durham, NC, media market, stream internationally through WNCU, and are available online. WNCU produces the show with major underwriting from the nonprofit RTI International. For more information, see www.measureradio.net.
