Time is almost up for about 900,000 North Carolina households that receive federal subsidies for broadband internet access.

The total dockside value of shrimp in North Carolina in 2022 was about $10 million. That’s down from about $30 million in the 1980s and 1990s.

The Assembly's Johanna Still wrote about this and joined Marshall Terry on "Morning Edition" to talk about her work. -
The National Association of Realtors last week proposed making it more common for homebuyers to pay their agent’s fees and doing away with the mandatory 6% commission that's long been a standard.

Ben Bradford is the host of the new podcast Landslide, which is about the 1976 race — the contest between President Gerald Ford and Gov. Ronald Reagan — and how it led to today’s partisan gulf. And he joined us on Morning Edition to talk about North Carolina’s role.
