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.

  • Since 2015, at least 100 people suffering from mental illness have died in South Carolina jails. Some died from severe dehydration and medical neglect while waiting an average of eight months to receive treatment intended to restore their mental competency. Those are some of the findings of a new five-part investigative series by The Post and Courier of Charleston examining a deadly jailhouse mental health crisis. The series is reported in part by Jocelyn Grzeszczak, who joined WFAE’s Marshall Terry.
  • Big changes could be in the works for part of uptown Charlotte. The new owner of a block along South Tryon laid out redevelopment plans in an interview with The Charlotte Ledger Business Newsletter. And The Ledger’s Tony Mecia joined WFAE’s Marshall Terry to talk about them for our segment BizWorthy.
  • Another week, another big banking jobs announcement for Charlotte. This time it came from the nation’s largest bank by assets, JPMorgan Chase, which said it’s adding 400 jobs locally over the next couple of years in its commercial and investment bank, private bank, and consumer bank. The Charlotte Ledger Business Newsletter’s Ashley Fahey joined WFAE’s Marshall Terry for our segment BizWorthy.
  • If you’ve been to a brewery lately or scanned the grocery store cooler shelves, you've probably noticed more cannabis-infused drinks. Daniel Larlham Jr. wrote about it for The Charlotte Ledger Business Newsletter and he joined WFAE’s Marshall Terry for more.
  • Charlotte’s airport is projecting it will see nearly 53 million passengers this fiscal year, which ends in June. That's a big number, but the airport is projecting that it won't grow next year. To talk more about it, I’m joined now by The Charlotte Ledger Business Newsletter’s Tony Mecia for our segment BizWorthy.
  • As artificial intelligence transforms society at large, what effects are expected in Charlotte specifically? To get a better idea, all this week the Charlotte Ledger business newsletter is looking at the impact of AI in our region. For more, the Ledger’s executive editor, Tony Mecia, joined WFAE’s Marshall Terry for our segment BizWorthy.
  • There’s a new benchmark to assess how well North Carolina is faring economically. The state Commerce Department launched the County Economic Vitality Index tracking unemployment, wages, median household income and educational attainment. One of the big takeaways is that suburbs may be on the rise.
  • It’s time for a fact check of North Carolina politics. Republican U.S. Senate candidate Michael Whatley is facing questions after a report that he appointed a convicted sex offender to state party leadership positions. The outlet Asheville Watchdog reports that Whatley made the appointments while he was chair of the state GOP between 2019 and 2024. Paul Specht of WRAL joined WFAE’s Marshall Terry for more.
  • Music festival season is almost upon us, but the Lovin’ Life Music Fest is not happening. It debuted in uptown Charlotte in 2024 with big names such as Stevie Nicks and Post Malone and drew tens of thousands. Last December, festival organizers said they were taking “a short pause” this year and left it at that. For more, Tony Mecia of the Charlotte Ledger Business Newsletter joined WFAE’s Marshall Terry for our segment BizWorthy.
  • March Madness is underway and you can be sure a lot of bets are being made in North Carolina on who will go all the way. This month marks two years since the state legalized online sports gambling. In that time, North Carolina has seen a rise in gambling problems.
