Claude Howell was a celebrated painter and lifelong Wilmington resident. He played key roles in establishing the art department at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington, and the Cameron Art Museum. He recorded hundreds of commentaries for WHQR in the 1980s and 90s.
WHQR is celebrating 40 years of fantastic radio since airing our first official broadcast on April 22, 1984. To commemorate this special milestone, we’re presenting a variety of archival favorite shows and pieces from our broadcast history below. We’re also airing some of the best commentaries every week (during Morning Edition and All Things Considered on 91.3fm) and you can find them here. Enjoy!For many more commentaries <b>click here</b>.
