This list reflects the programming of WUNC Radio: All Things Considered, Morning Edition, Weekend Edition Saturday and Sunday, Fresh Air, Monitor Radio Early and Daily Edition, The People's Pharmacy and Soundings. Sorry for last week -- a vacation caused the booklist to be delayed. And just to warn everyone, the list will be on hiatus for the next three weeks as well due to the list-compiler's upcoming vacation.
