Click above for the digital edition of The Rant Monthly, our award-winning monthly news publication.
The Rant began as a hobby radio show in Sanford, North Carolina in 2008 and was infamously “kicked off the air” in 2013.
In January 2014, the Rant relaunched as the news blog you’re reading now. We offer news coverage and opinions on whatever we think is interesting, mostly – but not limited to – in and around our homes in Sanford. We hope you find it interesting as well.
In April 2019, we launched The Rant Monthly, a monthly printed publication supported by local advertisers featuring in-depth, longform articles on topics important to our community.
