NHPR’s Only in New Hampshire—the ongoing series that seeks to answer questions about life in the Granite State—looks north for its latest exploration, with a series focused on the North Country.
The Only in New Hampshire team traveled north of the Notches to report on the major issues affecting the top of the state. Driven by questions from Granite Staters, the deep-dive reporting project aims to explore the Great North Woods with a look at a shifting economy, information access and the contentious topic of ATVs.
Episode schedule:
June 8: The scene is set with a simple question: what is the North Country? Where people think it begins and ends, and the issues facing folks from the White Mountains to the state’s Canadian border.
June 22: Tourism has become a major industry in the north. What does that mean for the region’s residents and visitors?
