Carrboro Book Beat

Welcome to WCOM Carrboro Book Beat

Carrboro Book Beat is an hour radio program on low-power community radio, WCOM 103.5 FM, located in downtown Carrboro, NC.

It is devoted to the literary life of the greater Research Triangle Park area of NC, home to UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke University, North Carolina Central University and NC State as well as many other institutions of higher learning besides basketball.

Our live radio show features reviews of new books by local authors, interviews with working fiction and nonfiction writers, editors, poets, journalists, publishers and all others engaged with the written arts.

Our mandate is to showcase local as well as visiting authors and newly published works of topical interest. We are paying attention and want our local authors to get plenty of air time!

We now feature our own Blog where we will attempt to keep you abreast of local literary news and authors. Be sure to visit to discover books and authors we were unable to feature on the show as well as other items to broaden your reading horizons.

Carrboro Book Beat shows are webcast live courtesy ibiblio.com Mondays from 10am to 11am EST via www.wcomfm.org
