    HAPPY HOLLERWEEEEN! I rode my broom over to Whitesburg, Kentucky this month, to chat with Letcher County teacher Tyler Watts. Things got a little spooky: WITCH is how I knew I was in the right place. He is taking his passion for his community outside of the classroom, allowing his students to be a part of the town's beautification. (In the coolest way ever? You be the judge!)

    I took a trip to the my alma mater, University of Pikeville, to speak with a mass media class about podcasting. While I was there, I had the class tell me what it's like to be a college student in Central Appalachia - which turned into a sort of live show. We had a blast talking about what it means to be Appalachian (and it was even more fun to know I wasn't being graded this time around.) Thank you to the students and to COM Queen Chandra Massner!
