This Morning with Aaron Keck (97.9 The Hill)

Victor eschews what’s actually trending to ask a fascinating question: when did Italy start producing olive oil? About 4000 years ago, according to new research that studied ancient pollen residue and charcoal remnants, among other things. Also, Aaron imagines the ancient mad scientist who must have undertaken dozens of go-nowhere experiments before discovering that olives were the specific things that produced the tastiest, most versatile oil when you squeezed them… Want to know what folks are talking about on social media?

Trending today: Argentina has become the global epicenter of cloning – because Argentina is also the global epicenter of polo, and it actually costs way less to clone a high-quality polo horse than it does to purchase one that came to the world in the usual way. (Also, Victor comes up with a great band name, and Aaron is surprised that cloning is still a thing.) Want to know what folks are talking about on social media?

It’s time for another round of Studio Sessions with the School of Rock Chapel Hill, featuring three classic songs performed by the House Band! This month, we look back at previous performances by the House Band that spotlight the work of vocalist Ripley Florek and drummer Joshua Bosworth. They’re both graduating seniors enjoying their final months with School of Rock  – and reflecting on their favorite memories from their time with the school – before heading off to college (Boston U for Bosworth, App State for Florek). School of Rock owner/GM David Joseph is also on hand to look ahead to the summer – including School of Rock’s ninth anniversary show on May 9, plus a show the following day at Shakori Hills as well as a summer tour that’ll take the House Band to Dollywood, Nashville, New Orleans, Atlanta, and Asheville, among other spots. Listen to their conversation, plus a listen back to three previous band performances: Beabadoobee’s “The Perfect Pair,” the Foo Fighters’ “Rope,” and Foals’ “Snake Oil.” The post Studio Sessions with School of Rock Chapel Hill: 2026 Senior Retrospective! appeared first on Chapelboro.com.

Trending today: Mexico bans the sale of e-cigarettes – a bold move to fight the rise of vaping, but one that has the potential of creating a black market.

What’s trending today is something that’s not trending: 8K televisions, which are so unpopular that manufacturers are stopping production. An 8K television is an advance in picture quality over the more common 4K screens, but the difference is so minimal to the human eye that nobody thinks it’s worth the cost.

Aaron welcomes UNC education professor Troy Sadler, who recently won a national award for his work in science education. Sadler’s work grew out of his own past experience as a middle- and high-school teacher, where he grew to appreciate the benefits of teaching math and science by starting with the “grand challenges” that we all face, from climate change to global pandemics. Today, he focuses on developing ways that educators can teach basic science concepts by starting with those real-world issues. 97.9 The Hill WCHL and Chapelboro.com are your headquarters for local news and local voices in Chapel Hill-Carrboro.

Welcome to “Paying it Forward,” a monthly interview series made possible by Piedmont Health. In this series, we hear from the folks at Piedmont about the importance of community health centers – and why they chose a career in community health. This month, Aaron welcomes population health specialist Rui Ariyapala. Originally from New Zealand, he came to Chapel Hill after training in the UK and New Jersey; he now serves as Piedmont’s Associate Medical Officer, a role he’s held for about a year. “I wanted a career that centered around problem solving, improving people’s lives in a meaningful way from a population health standpoint,” he says. “Not just treating the illness that’s in front of you, but looking upstream (and) influencing things from a grand scale.” While Piedmont Health Services offers comprehensive care to patients on an individual, one-on-one basis, Ariyapala uses his background in population health to approach health care on a macro level – working to improve health across entire communities, or among groups of people within those communities. “Population health (looks) at the whole population – and then what we try to do is (identify) patients within that population that are higher risk, (and try) to mitigate that,” he says. In addition to that macro approach to health care, Ariyapala also tries to emphasize preventive care, encouraging people to make good lifestyle choices while healthy so they don’t find themselves struggling with preventable health issues in the future. He says his commitment to preventive care stemmed from a particular heart-attack patient he encountered in the UK. “I’ll never forget him,” he says. “He was a 57-year-old gentleman, and it was my job to do all those social history questions, things like past medical history, surgical history, allergies – and I asked, ‘how often do you smoke?’ And he said, ‘I don’t anymore.’ ‘What do you mean anymore?’ ‘As of today, I’m never smoking ever again for the rest of my life…’ “So that got me thinking: when it comes to prevention, you (often) only think about it when (something bad) happens to you…and unfortunately by that time, there’s limited options that we can do. That was a really career defining moment, because I realized everything we do has to be (focusing) our energy on primary prevention.” 97.9 The Hill WCHL and Chapelboro.com are your headquarters for local news and local voices in Chapel Hill-Carrboro.
