About Us

Maryland Morning with Sheilah Kast finds the most intelligent and intriguing voices to probe the “whys” and “who cares” behind the headlines. From the Atlantic to the Appalachians, we unravel local implications of national news stories, and explore the science, history, arts, and culture of Maryland.

Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9 a.m., you’ll hear analysis of important news, artists from across the creative spectrum, scientists and historians getting excited about nerdy stuff, and conversations with people we think are just plain interesting. Whether it’s education policy or epic poetry, invasive plants or innovative pianists, tune in to Maryland Morning to be enlightened and entertained.

Maryland Morning is produced by Katherine Gorman, Lawrence Lanahan, and Stephanie Hughes.

Our logo and branding are by Bruce Willen and Nolen Strals at Post Typography. Our theme is by Chris Kennedy at Clean Cuts. Coffee for our guests is provided by Zeke’s Coffee in Lauraville.

Audio for each day’s show is posted by the end of the day it airs. Please contact us if you can’t find information about a story you heard on our show. You may also have heard the story on NPR’s Morning Edition.
