It’s our March edition of Averae Joes on Wednesday, March 19.  The guests describe themselves politically as a liberal conservative, a very opinionated moderate, a young conservative, and a registered independent.  Issues important to them include the election, education, religion, Charlotte’s growth, evolution, murder and more.

Tuesday, March 18, we examine the urban habitat of Charlotte-Mecklenburg that is home to a surprisingly diverse wildlife population.  How these animals have adapted to an increasingly urban habitat may surprise you.  Experts join us to talk about some of the animals that make the city of Charlotte home.
