Eye on the Triangle is WKNC’s weekly public affairs programming, with news, interviews, opinion, weather, sports, arts, music, events, and issues that matter to NCSU, Raleigh, and the Triangle.  This week on EOT:

There’s a lot of talk about our online privacy these days, but a lot of people don’t know what it’s really all about. Sara decided to break it down a bit for you. 

We have a new installation of Selma’s poetry corner, which we would like to note, is now an award-winning segment. Selma’s feature of and response to poetry submitted by an inmate-listener brought her national recognition in the College Media Association’s Pinnacle Awards, announced earlier this month. This week, Selma brought another special guest into the studio.

Listen to all this, plus our Community Calendar.

Nick Savage and the EOT crew bring you another edition of “Eye on the Triangle,” live each Tuesday at 7 p.m. on WKNC 88.1 FM and wknc.org/listen and available as a downloadable podcast.
