Songs We Love is a series and a podcast that looks at the stories behind some of the songs we're playing on our new music discovery stream, WUNC Music.
Right now we are in the middle of a series featuring artists from Yep Roc Records. The label, headquartered in Hillsborough, NC, continues to celebrate its 20th anniversary. We're commemorating by highlighting some of their artists.
On this episode, Eric Hodge chats with Kim Richey and Chuck Prophet about their collaboration 'Whistle On Occasion' from Richey's new album Edgeland.

"When do we get the beats?!"
