Getting Hammered
Kids, cocktails, and conversation
It's not easy keeping up with the news—especially when you're a parent. Mary Katharine Ham and Vic Matus know that well. And while they can't get your kids to school on time (and without ketchup in their hair—ask Mary Katharine about that one), they can break down the news you need to know. Put the kids to bed, pour yourself a drink, and join us twice a week for Getting Hammered.
In this episode, Mary Katharine speaks with Matt Van Swol, who’s been working on the ground in western North Carolina. Together, they discuss the region’s ongoing recovery efforts and the widespread damage, from devastated infrastructure to displaced communities, four months after Hurricane Helene.
