PRE and NPR together on the NPR One app!

The best of PRE, the best of NPR, all on your phone or tablet. It’s NPR One, a personalized stream of stories from PRE and NPR. You’ll hear headlines from PRE and NPR, local reports from the PRE news team, highlights from NPR newsmagazines, all on your schedule. Start when you’re ready, stop when you’re through, rewind to hear something again, skip to move on, pause when you need to step away… the NPR One app is designed for the way you live (and the way you sleep… it includes a sleep timer).   It’s another way to access all your favorites on PRE. Download the free NPR One app from a variety of vendors including Amazon, GooglePlay and iTunes.

George Olsen is a 1977 Havelock High School graduate. He received his B.A. in Broadcast Journalism from the University of South Carolina in 1982 where he got his first taste of non-commercial radio working for their student station WUSC. After graduation he worked about five years in commercial radio before coming to work at Public Radio East where he has remained since outside of a nearly 3-year stint as jazz and operations coordinator at WUAL in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in the early 1990s. On his return to eastern North Carolina he hosted classical music for Public Radio East before moving into the Morning Edition host position and now can be heard on All Things Considered. He also hosts and produces The Sound, five hours of Americana, Roots Rock and Contemporary Folk weekday evenings on PRE Public Radio East News & Ideas, and is a news and feature producer for Public Radio East.
