English naturalist Mark Catesby’s love of exploration and learning lives on through a new program, entitled Creating a Better Way to Learn, developed by the Catesby Commemorative Trust in association with local educational entities.
The Trust is working actively with the School of Education at the College of Charleston, SCETV, and curriculum specialists at the Charleston County School District on this program, developing lesson plans and innovative tools that will improve the learning experience for students across South Carolina and beyond.
Creating a Better Way to Learn involves the very successful project/problem teaching approach used in high school college-credit advance placement classes, and adopting its use starting in the elementary grades. Lesson plans for science, social studies and art will include material from CCT's award-winning book, The Curious Mister Catesby: A "Truly Ingenious" Naturalist Explores New Worlds, as well as material from Catesby's Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands.
Talking with Dr. Edgar about Mark Catesby’s legacy, the Trust, and Creating a Better Way to Learn, are Frances Welch, Dean of the College of Charleston’s School of Education; CEO of the Catesby Commemorative Trust, David Elliot; and Dean Byrd of SCETV.

Sandra E. Johnson talks with Walter Edgar about her latest novel, Flowers for the Living.

The only place Emma Jennings, the mother, and Russell “Rusty” Carter, Jr., the cop, find refuge from the chaos engulfing them is the teenager’s serenely beautiful grave. Through initially awkward meetings there, Emma and Rusty establish a bond that they must ultimately rely on to rebuild their lives and help heal their city.

Ron Rash — The Risen - Ron Rash Nov 21, 2016
Show notes

New York Times bestselling author Ron Rash demonstrates his superb narrative skills in this suspenseful and evocative tale of two brothers whose lives are altered irrevocably by the events of one long-ago summer—and one bewitching young woman—and the secrets that could destroy their lives.
While swimming in a secluded creek on a hot Sunday in 1969, sixteen-year-old Eugene and his older brother, Bill, meet the entrancing Ligeia. A sexy, free-spirited redhead from Daytona Beach banished to their small North Carolina town until the fall, Ligeia will not only bewitch the two brothers, but lure them into a struggle that reveals the hidden differences in their natures.
Many years later, when a shocking reminder of the past unexpectedly surfaces, Eugene is plunged back into that fateful summer, and the girl he cannot forget. The deeper he delves into his memories, the closer he comes to finding the truth. But can Eugene’s recollections be trusted? And will the truth set him free and offer salvation . . . or destroy his damaged life and everyone he loves?
Ron Rash joins Walter Edgar to talk about The Risen, his writing life, and writing about the Carolinas.

Marian McPartland and and Dizzy Gillespie during a recording session for "Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz." — An Encyclopedia of South Carolina Jazz and Blues Musicians Oct 31, 2016
Show notes

(SC Public Radio)
In An Encyclopedia of South Carolina Jazz and Blues Musicians, Benjamin Franklin V documents the careers of South Carolina jazz and blues musicians from the nineteenth century to the present. The musicians range from the renowned (James Brown, Dizzy Gillespie), to the notable (Freddie Green, Josh White), to the largely forgotten (Fud Livingston, Josie Miles), to the obscure (Lottie Frost Hightower, Horace "Spoons" Williams), to the unknown (Vince Arnold, Johnny Wilson).
Though the term "jazz" is commonly understood, if difficult to define, "blues" has evolved over time to include rhythm and blues, doo-wop, and soul music. Performers in these genres are represented, as are members of the Jenkins Orphanage bands of Charleston. The volume also treats nineteenth-century musicians who performed what might be called proto-jazz or proto-blues in string bands, medicine shows, vaudeville, and the like.
