Ep 9 with Shawna Kay Rodenberg is now live! We talked all about Loretta, some about Dolly & how both somehow fit into the lives of all mountain women. I also learned about Cloud City, a 1960 proposal to turn Pine Mountain into a Gatlinburg-esque Redneck Riviera! You can listen on Apple or Spotify.

In our land of plenty, why should people face such suffering? This is the question Eula Hall asked Senator Ted Kennedy in 1983 when he visited Floyd Co, KY. You can listen to my first episode about Eula Hall with Cara Ellis of Pikeville Pride now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. #appalachia #podcast
