For some people entertaining is no big deal- those folks make it look easy! But for others, it's a stressed-filled time with lots of questions- like how much food do I need and what do I do if I run out? And, what if my great recipe tastes awful? Or your friend shows up with another friend and now your dinner for eight is at nine? No worries, we've got answers to these and all of your hosting questions. Monica Edwards, professional event planner and owner/innkeeper of Morehead Manor Bed and Breakfast in Durham, North Carolina gives plenty of tips for a successful holiday gathering.

Barry Graham used to arrive at WHRO with a briefcase full of papers and lesson plans. For 32 years he taught US and Virginia Government in the Virginia Beach Public Schools. While teaching was always his first love, radio was a close second. While attending Old Dominion, Barry was program director at WODU, the college radio station. After graduating, he came to WHRO as an overnight announcer. Originally intending to stay on only while completing graduate school, he was soon hooked on Public Radio and today is the senior announcer on WHRV. In 2001, Barry earned his Ph.D in Urban Studies by writing a history of WHRO and analyzing its impact upon local education, policy and cultural arts organizations.
