Abstract:
The song, “I Like Callin’ North Carolina Home,” became a statewide hit when it began airing as public service spots on radio and television stations in August, 1977. The song was put together by producer Chuck Blore and radio broadcaster Jim Heavner, and largely supported by the state’s government. Now an unofficial state slogan, the song proclaims that North Carolina is a great place to live because of the good people who help to make it that way.

Abstract:
Much like Orson Welles' War of the Worlds, a North Carolina radio personality decided to stage a false report of alien activity. Spurred by frequent appearance of flying saucer stories in newspapers across the state, the author wrote a story intended solely to mock those he read in the newspaper. His false flying saucer story aired at 10 p.m. on WPTF and resulted in panicked phone calls to the station. A transcript of the radio broadcast is printed in its entirety.
