WUNC's new podcast The Broadside explore the South one story at a time

• The name "The Broadside" is a reference to the one-page print posters that were used to communicate news and announcements before the era of mass media.

Why it matters: The show's goal is to take a deep dive into one story or trend that originated in the South and has also influenced the rest of the English-speaking world.

Its first episode dives into how the Southern pronoun y'all has transcended the South.

• Future episodes will cover the proliferation of dollar stores in rural communities as well as the lingering effects of two Native American men's hostile takeover of a Robeson County newspaper as a means of protest in 1988.
