Our Work For WCAI

Atlantic Public Media began its life as the founding organization for public radio stations WCAI, WNAN and WZAI in Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, Brewster and Nantucket, known collectively as WCAI. In 2014, a new transmitter expanded WCAI’s signal to include large portions of the South Coast as well. APM is actively involved in the daily life of the station, providing regular programming and special feature content (both local and national) for broadcast.

Sample some of the programming APM has created for WCAI below.

I first tasted milkweed a few years ago. I was at Ceraldi in Wellfleet—a restaurant known for its focus on hyper local ingredients— and I tried the plants’ shoots. They were bright and snappy and so gloriously green-tasting that I wanted to learn more. Co-owner and chef Michael Ceraldi explains what Asclepias syriaca, or Common Milkweed is.
