At 6:00 tonight, we'll join Bending Borders for "24 Hours: A Day in the Working Life." This documentary explores the lives of workers who typically go unnoticed, including a diner waitress, a stripper, a church janitor, and a bus driver, as many of us take a break from work this Labor Day weekend.

Next at 7:00, ahead of the start of the Hopscotch Music Festival next week, Ben Cox talks to two artists on the bill. He sits down with Haley Fohr from Circuit des Yeux, and Jamie Hepler, of Asheville's Nest Egg. Circuit des Yeux will play Friday night at 10:00 at Tir Na Nog, and Nest Egg is scheduled for Saturday at 11:30 at Slim's. Hopscotch runs from Thursday, September 4, through Saturday, September 6 in Raleigh. Find more info and the entire lineup at hopscotchmusicfest.com/

WXDU will have more coverage of Hopscotch leading up to the festival and during the shows, and look for more when we air a Hopscotch wrap-up report after it ends. Keep an eye on our website, Facebook, and Twitter.

And remember WXDU is hosting a Hopscotch Day Party with Three Lobed Recordings on Friday. Get more details here: www.facebook.com/events/512439632222273/ WXDU is a proud media partner of the Hopscotch Music Festival.
