Co-host Jeff Tiberii talks with two NC doctors working to combat the stigma associated with PSUD (perinatal substance use disorder) and get pregnant people into treatment.

Then, as sea levels increase, so does the water’s impact on North Carolina's coastal communities. From expensive beach rebuilding projects to sewage overflows in the streets to houses collapsing into the oceans, the costs associated with erosion and flooding due to sea level rise can be very steep. David Boraks’ recent reporting project for WHQR, “Rising Waters,” explores how we got here, what’s being done, and where North Carolina’s beach communities are headed.

And, Leoneda Inge and Jeff Tiberii share the next installment in our series Southern Mixtape. Starting Thursday, Raleigh will be rocking once again. It's the start of the 14th annual Hopscotch Music Festival that will run Sept 5th-7th. The festival will feature performances from over 100 artists spanning multiple genres on two main stages and several local music venues in downtown Raleigh. We talk about the festival, featured artists with NC connections, and listen to some music with WUNC's Brian Burns.
