NOW PLAYING:

WXDU News, Sports, and Information Tonight (10/18) 6:00-8:00

Tune in at 6:00 tonight for this week's installment of the Endless Frontier, WXDU's original science talk show, for the latest in science news and research developments.

Then at 6:30, Helen Yu learns about the Triangle's refugee community--and the personal identity, citizenship and cultural issues its members face--on Discovering Durham. On this month's show, Helen talks to Lenny, a 23-year-old refugee from the Democratic Republic of Congo, who, after living in a refugee camp in Rwanda for 17 years, relocated to the U.S. in 2014. Lenny is an engineering student at Durham Technical Community College who hopes to one day put the skills he learns to good use in his home country. Helen is also joined by Kelly, an immigration counselor with the Church World Service RDU Immigration and Refugee Program in Durham, to discuss the program's mission, services and impact.

Finally at 7:30 tonight, Martin Kang has WXDU Sports. This week, Martin covers last Friday's Duke women's soccer victory over UNC and men's soccer win against NC State, plus updates on Duke football, volleyball and field hockey action. He'll wrap things up with "Sports, the Great Uniter?," a story from the Center for Documentary Studies podcast series Scene on Radio produced by John Biewen.
