Credit Security

By Laura Knoy on Monday, March 31, 2008.

Many Hannafords shoppers got a big shock a few weeks ago when the grocery chain acknowledged that hackers had been stealing customers’ credit card numbers for several months. This isn’t the first such security breach in the state. We’ll break down the complex process that begins each time you swipe that card, find out who’s in charge of making sure your payment goes where they’re supposed to, and look at what the private sector is doing to keep up with hackers.

And the Grammy goes to.....

By Kate McNally on Sunday, March 30, 2008.

I got to play cuts from the Grammy nominated albums by Levon Helm and Jim Lauderdale on the show this week. When the Grammy Awards were posted I was a little disappointed because much of the music posted in the folk and bluegrass categories hadn't even reached my desk. I usually receive music from all the independent artists, but I never received the latest from Steve Earle, Tom Waits, Jim Lauderdale, Levon Helm, Peter Case, or Charlie Louvin. It happens every year, actually. Somehow we get overlooked.

The Guitar Doctor

By Jon Greenberg on Friday, March 28, 2008.

In a small walk-down shop in Exeter, New Hampshire, old guitars find new life at the hands of Pat DiBurro. Some are over 150 years old. When DiBurro finishes with them, his goal is that they should sound as good as that day long ago when some master guitar builder declared them done. DiBurro has been working on guitars for over 30 years and as New Hampshire Public Radio’s Jon Greenberg reports, in that time he’s learned that sometimes the most demanding bosses are the dead ones.
