Christmas Memories Shared on Another View

2025 has been a tough year- from layoffs to a government shutdown, rising prices, spiking health insurance premiums, reversal of diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, changes to voting rights, antisemitic violence, and the list goes on. Yet, we are resilient people with the ability to find joy during such turmoil. So, on this version of Another View, we let the audience share their memories of joy- the sights, the smells, the cringe-worthy moments that now make them smile as classic holiday tales. The phone-lines opened, and the stories came in. From poignant memories to the down-right hysterical, we heard what makes our audience laugh, smile, and even cry a little. HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE ANOTHER VIEW TEAM. This, and all Another View programs can be heard on demand on the show's program page.

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.
