We’re talking with North Carolinians about life in our state’s rural communities and small towns. Across North Carolina, communities have used the Main Street Approach to transform their economies, leverage local leadership, and improve the overall quality of life. Hello North Carolina: Stories from Rural NC is part of the Hello North Carolina initiative from the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. Hosted and produced by Karl Galloway and Cliff Bumgardner. Theme music by Alli B and Spencer Auten. Edited by Cliff Bumgardner.
