One of the first descriptions of North Carolina by the English that would later colonize the area was given by Ralph Lane, the governor of the first attempted colony. In 1585, Gov. Lane referred to the land as "the goodliest soil under the cope of heaven" in his letters back to England. This podcast will tell the stories of its history, help people see the connections, not only between its "officials" but also between people that history either forgot or chose not to listen to. We will tell their stories; the plantation owners, the enslaved people, the displaced native Americans...all of them

Running on Empty
<p>It's 1779. You live in Smithfield, North Carolina — population: several dozen, ambitions: modest. Then one Thursday morning, the entire government of North Carolina comes riding down the road. All of it. And it needs a place to sleep. Running on Empty — the story of the time the state ran out of options and showed up unannounced in a two-year-old town.</p>

White Lightning
<p>In 1792, a Johnston County man left his son a still in his will. It seemed straightforward enough. Two hundred years, ten federal indictments, that tradition is now open Thursday through Saturday with tours and a tasting room. Welcome to White Lightning. The government gave up. Johnston County=1, Government=0. This is White Lightning.</p>

Bad Blood (Ghost Town)
<p>People who visit Hannah Creek Swamp report cold spots, feelings of dread, and the sound of a hanging. Johnston County has a lot of history, but this particular stretch of swamp has a story soaked into it — a Confederate lieutenant, a band of rogue soldiers who crossed every line, a gold crucifix found around the wrong neck, and a revenge killing so far outside the rules of war that nobody's quite known what to do with it for 160 years. It's a ghost story. It's a war crime story. It's also, it turns out, a case of mistaken identity stretching across two centuries — because the monster at the center of it was already dead before the Civil War started. The swamp, apparently, does not care about the timeline.</p><p><br></p>
