Marshall Terry

Host, Morning Edition

Marshall came to WFAE after graduating from Appalachian State University, where he worked at the campus radio station and earned a degree in communication. Outside of radio, he loves listening to music and going to see bands - preferably in small, dingy clubs.

  • With Election Day approaching, North Carolina has a problem. The state is rapidly losing county elections directors. That turnover could have an impact on voters when they go to cast their ballots. A Carolina Public Press investigation has found low pay is what’s driving the change. Reporter Mehr Sher joined us on Morning Edition to talk more about it.
  • Another one of Charlotte’s professional sports teams has been sold. The Charlotte Checkers announced on Monday that Florida-based Zawyer Sports & Entertainment has acquired a controlling interest in the hockey team. This story, and other local business news, on this week's BizWorthy.
  • People of color make up more than 60% of North Carolina death row inmates despite the state’s population being more than 60% white. An ongoing legal challenge to a death penalty case in Rowan County is spotlighting a 1980s U.S. Supreme Court ruling that bars using race as a reason to exclude jurors in trials. Jacob Biba wrote about it in partnership with The Garrison Project and he joined us on "Morning Edition" to discuss.
  • Within the first two months since online betting became legal in North Carolina, bettors had already wagered over $1 billion. But not everyone's happy. Bettors also filed about 85 complaints against gambling operators. That’s according to the state attorney general’s office and the state lottery commission. This story, and other local business news, on this week's BizWorthy.
  • Since Oct. 7, deep divisions have developed within the Democratic Party over the ongoing Israeli-Hamas war and ensuing protests on college campuses. As Election Day gets closer, Democrats are having to walk a fine line among those who have traditionally supported the party but have sharply differing views on the conflict. Tim Funk joined WFAE's Marshall Terry to discuss.
  • There’s a big, new housing trend in Charlotte. The Charlotte Ledger Business Newsletter reports the number of permits for new townhomes surpassed the number of permits for single-family homes last year for the first time ever. This business news, and more, on this week's BizWorthy.
  • North Carolina state lawmakers do not have to release their emails and other communications to the public anymore unless they want to. That power was given to them by a provision buried in the state budget last year. The change, which was led by Republicans, marked a shift from just over a decade ago when the GOP led the charge for more transparency in state government. Reporter Bryan Anderson joined WFAE's Marshall Terry to discuss.
  • It’s time now for a fact-check of North Carolina politics. North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum spoke at the North Carolina Republican Party convention in Greensboro last month. He focused on energy policy and made a claim that Biden shut down natural gas export capacity.
  • Sea-level rise is accelerating. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the global average sea level set a new record high in 2022 of four inches above 1993 levels. What do the effects of sea-level rise look like in real time? To find out, The Washington Post installed a series of cameras in Carolina Beach, south of Wilmington. Post reporter Brady Dennis joined WFAE's Marshall Terry to discuss.
  • With companies scratching and clawing to attract young workers, some of them are barking up a different tree and embracing perks like "pawternity leave." Yes, bad puns aside, more local businesses are offering pet benefits. This news, and more, on this week's BizWorthy.
