In this episode of “Normal World,” Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela tackle President Joe Biden's controversial $1 billion aid package for African nations. While domestic areas like Appalachia and North Carolina reel from hurricane devastation and lack of federal relief, the crew questions misplaced priorities and potential corruption in foreign aid allocation. The discussion heats up with a Canadian mayor's refusal to fly a Pride flag during Pride Month, igniting debates on government mandates, cultural values, and free speech. In “Trans News,” they humorously congratulate biological male Alex Consani for winning Woman of the Year at the U.K. Fashion Awards, poking fun at awards culture and gender identity politics. The team also critiques efforts to rewrite Alcoholics Anonymous literature to include gender-neutral pronouns, questioning identity politics' place in recovery programs. They then turn to Cesar Hernandez, a convicted murderer who escaped custody in California, imagining the challenges of tracking him in a sanctuary city. Closing with humor, they riff on rumors of Elton John's blindness, celebrate his legacy, and laugh over Theo Von's viral quip comparing Wayne Gretzky to Princess Diana, hilariously tying Gretzky's iconic mullet to Diana's regal style. This episode of "Normal World" welcomes special guest Derek Richards. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of On the Rocks, host Emily King sits down with Dr. Peter Whitbread-Abrutat, founder of Future Terrains International and co-author of "102 Things to Do with a Hole in the Ground," to explore creative approaches to mine reclamation worldwide. Pete shares fascinating stories from his three decades of experience transforming former mine sites, including innovative projects from Germany's lake networks to Appalachia's forest regeneration initiatives.

We discussed the Hunter Biden pardon, failed policies, insane amounts of money being sent everywhere except where it should, cabinet nominations, grifters taking advantage of people in Helene torn Appalachia, and much more.Support the show

Lisa DeFrank-Cole, Gen X, joins Yo who talks with us about resiliency and other important traits for women leaders. Lisa is Director and F Duke Perry Endowed Professor of Leadership Studies at West Virginia University, and is widely known for her academic and practical expertise in women's leadership.   She is a leadership coach and has been coauthor/coeditor of the following three academic books about women and leadership including an award-winning textbook:. Women and Leadership: Journey Toward Equity A Research Agenda for Gender and Leadership Women's Leadership Journeys: Stories, Research, and Novel Perspectives Lisa overcame many stereotypes as a first-generation college graduate from Appalachia to reach where she is today. WV Living magazine named her a “Wonder Woman” in 2019, celebrating her for defying barriers and working towards uplifting West Virginia. Topics Covered: Why resiliency is an important leadership trait What other skills/traits women offer  What are gender norms & alignment   Likeability vs competence    Masculine and feminine traits    What are different strategies to promote equity  What is a leader identity (claiming vs granting)   3 Episode Takeaways   1.   Hardiness is needed for women to be leaders. Resilience is the ability to get back up after being knocked down and trying again. Women face challenges that are different than men when it comes to leadership. 2.   There's a flexibility and empathy women bring to leadership situations. Because we are scanners women can assess where people are coming from. Research states women bring a transformational approach into organizations. Women can be the “glue” that holds things together which can be unrewarded and overlooked. 3.   Gender norms are changing but not equable yet. It is going in both directions for men and women. Leaders are seen in their ability to make decisions or be agents of change, and how society perceives these differently for men and women is the real challenge.   Card or Gift Items Lisa Liked from Our Store https://girltaketheleadpod.com/shop Snarky Cat, Trust Your Gut Card         Enjoy the Journey Bookmark   More About Lisa: Lisa has 15+ years as a speaker at the International Leadership Association Global Conferences presenting on Women and Leadership.

Ohio is home to a staggering number of haunted locations, each steeped in history, mystery, and eerie folklore. From abandoned buildings to cemeteries, old theaters, and even entire towns, the Buckeye State has a diverse array of sites that have earned reputations for being haunted by restless spirits. One of the most famous and terrifying locations is the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, a former prison that housed some of the state's most notorious criminals. This imposing Gothic structure, which closed its doors in 1990, is often cited as one of the most haunted places in Ohio. The prison has witnessed countless tragedies, from violent prisoner uprisings to harsh conditions, which have left lingering energy throughout its halls. Visitors frequently report strange noises, shadowy figures, and even full-body apparitions, making it a popular destination for ghost hunters and thrill-seekers alike. Another notorious haunted location is the Franklin Castle in Cleveland, a massive Victorian mansion built in the 1800s. The castle is said to be haunted by the spirits of the Tiedemann family, who lived there during the late 19th century. The mysterious deaths of several family members, including children, have fueled rumors that the house is cursed. Some stories suggest that the mansion's original owner, Hans Tiedemann, was involved in the tragic deaths, and the hauntings are a result of the family's unresolved grief. Visitors to the Franklin Castle have reported hearing footsteps, seeing apparitions, and feeling sudden drops in temperature, all of which contribute to the house's chilling reputation. Ohio also boasts some spooky cemeteries, with one of the most notable being Woodland Cemetery in Dayton. Known for its Gothic atmosphere and sprawling grounds, Woodland Cemetery is home to many ghost stories. Local legends speak of mysterious figures seen wandering the grounds at night, as well as ghostly apparitions that appear among the graves. Other visitors have reported hearing ghostly whispers and the sound of footsteps echoing through the cemetery when no one is around. The cemetery's eerie aura has made it a popular site for paranormal investigations. One of Ohio's most famous haunted sites is the Moonville Tunnel, located in the Appalachian region near McArthur. Built in the 1850s, the tunnel was once a vital part of the railroad system. Today, it is the site of numerous ghost stories and legends. The most prominent tale involves the spirit of a railroad brakeman who was reportedly struck by a train and killed while working in the tunnel. His ghost, along with other apparitions, is said to haunt the area, with reports of strange lights, eerie sounds, and even sightings of the ghostly brakeman himself. The Moonville Tunnel is particularly known for its otherworldly atmosphere, especially when the fog rolls in during the early morning hours. The Loveland Castle, located in Loveland, is another Ohio landmark that is said to be haunted. Built in the 1920s by a man named Harry D. Andrews, the castle has an eerie, medieval charm. Andrews, who dedicated his life to creating the castle, is said to still haunt the property, along with the spirits of his family members. Visitors have reported hearing strange sounds coming from the castle, as well as seeing shadowy figures in the windows. The castle's dark, historic past has made it a prime location for those interested in exploring Ohio's haunted heritage. These locations are just the beginning of Ohio's haunted history, which extends across the state from the haunted theaters of Cincinnati to the ghost-filled streets of old mining towns in the hills of Appalachia. Each site holds its own unique blend of tragic history and supernatural phenomena, making Ohio a rich destination for those intrigued by the paranormal. With so many haunted locations, it's no wonder that the state is considered one of the most eerie and ghost-ridden in the United States.

Poet Crystal Wilkinson says people are always surprised to hear that there are Black people in Appalachia. That's despite the fact that two million Black people live in the region. The Black presence in Appalachia goes all the way back to the time of enslavement. And Crystal's own family is a part of that history— her relatives Aggy and Tarlton Wilkinson were an interracial couple there in the early 1800s. She talks about all of that in her book Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts: Stories and Recipes from Five Generations of Black Country Cooks. It's a culinary memoir about how she connects with her Appalachian ancestors through cooking. This hour, hear our extended interview with Crystal. She joins us to talk about food, family and her relationship to the past. She discusses her appreciation for traditions like Thanksgiving cooking, while learning through her children how those traditions evolve. GUEST: Crystal Wilkinson: Writer and former Poet Laureate of Kentucky. She teaches creative writing at the University of Kentucky and is author of Perfect Black. Her latest book is Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts: Stories and Recipes from Five Generations of Black Country Cooks.

Like this conversation that I had with Lexi Close from Appalachia Regional Cooperative Development and the Appalachia Producers Co-op. Now, Lexi is involved with much of the work going on in a cooperative beef processing facility that's currently under construction in Washington County, Eastern Tennessee. We get into how the project got started from the initial idea to the feasibility studies to raising such a large amount of capital. We also get into how the membership works, including some collective marketing opportunities for local producer members for the Eastern Tennessee region, and what these decentralized processing networks look like as much as 100 years ago, what we lost in centralization And how they can serve as a model for building them back.

This is Part 1 of our 2 Part Diary Entry with Allie Oxenblood, the Treehouse Tattooer. I think Allie does a great job introducing herself in her IG bio: "Tattooin, Tale-tellin, pot-stirring, liberty loving, dissident mountain mama. Ceremonial treehouse tattooing in Appalachia, WV." In this piece, we talk all things God and explore some of Allie's time tattooing. In truth, this was off-script from the start and in order to get to Allie's apprenticeship days, we might have to meet again. Hopefully, this podcast went rogue in the best ways. Your host certainly enjoyed herself. Allie... Thank you to the moon and back! This was a wonderful time and you were so gracious to play along. Bless you and let's do this again for sure. Listeners, come back next week as we're not done talking to Allie. God bless you all. ****If you liked The Apprenticeship Diaries (T.A.D.), please follow us, rate, and review us!

From the time he could stand, James Beard Award winner Chef Paul Smith remembers helping his Italian grandfather cook, the presence of a large Italian contingent in the coal mines, & after school ‘butter steaks' with his brother. He also discusses his extensive culinary training that led to his return home to communicate the food culture of Appalachia in his restaurants, seeing those restaurants as an extension of his childhood family gatherings, his recovery from alcohol addiction, & helping others in the hospitality industry.

Episode 082 offers a bit of a different trip than the usual Upful LIFE Podcast. This program is focused entirely on Asheville NC & surrouding Appalachia in the wake of unimaginable destruction wrought by Hurricane Helene in late September. The Asheville music and arts community is a beacon of light and creativity, full of ambitious artisans, dreamers n' doers whom I admire. The good folks of AVL and Appalachia need a whole lotta love, positive energy, prayers, and most importantly DONATIONS to continue their long, arduous process of recovery and rebuilding.  This podcast presents four conversations between five different people rooted down in Appalachia, connected to the local music/arts community, and who each lived their own harrowing version of this same nightmare.  It is an honor and privilege to offer a platform for these special souls to tell their storm stories, and ruminate on the realities of the recovery journey. Tune in for emotional, inspirational reflections from Leah Song (Rising Appalachia) and Andy Fyfe, Josh Blake of GFE and iamAVL, Wren Ashley from The Nohm Collective, and Brian Good of Asheville Music Hall.

The region's two rivers carried whole houses downstream. What buildings that remain in the lower areas of Buncombe County are larded with a foot-deep layer of toxic mud. Many people died.  The storm was prodigious. Official reports note that 2,300 structures were destroyed completely or made uninhabitable. That's homes, stores, and other businesses. The Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina was closed along its entire length, and its director said that some 10,000 trees had fallen into the roadway. Parts of the parkway were covered in landslide mud, while in other places the pavement had washed away entirely. In several locations, the North Fork Swannanoa River carved new courses, leaving at least one bridge over dry land and the water flowing a hundred yards to the west.   Along the French Broad River south of downtown Asheville, the River Arts District was completely wiped out. The narrow, 14-mile long Hickory Nut Gorge, which drops about 1,800 feet between the town of Gerton and Lake Lure, much of the road is now reduced to a rocky creek bed.  Estimates for regional damages are currently at $53 billion.   Vibe Junkie JAMZ "Tomorrow's Cost" - Secret Agent 23 Skidoo and Friends "Everybody Hurts" (REM cover) - Al Green   Vetted resources and references Grassroots Aid Partnership   iamAVL - Music Industry Relief Fund   Rising Appalachia [several fundraising options]   Flood Back Art    Katie Flanagan [AVL superhero]  donate here   Art Garden AVL   Asheville Music Hall - Joe Marcinek's Dead Funk Summit 12/6   More resources via ArtsAVL   EMAIL the SHOW PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify Theme Song: "Mazel Tov"- CALVIN VALENTINE

The resulting catastrophe laid waste to the entire region. At a time when misinformation, rising authoritarianism, and disasters exacerbated by industrially-produced climate change are creating a feedback loop of escalating crisis, it's crucial to understand disaster response as an integral part of community defense and strategize about how this can play a part in movements for liberation. In the following reflection, a local anarchist involved in longstanding disaster response efforts in Appalachia recounts the lessons that they have learned over the past six weeks and offers advice about how to prepare for the disasters to come.

There was once a coal company in Appalachia that was owned not by wealthy investors but by its employees, in a cooperative enterprise.  And the houses in the company's coal camp were owned by the miners as well, most of whom were Hungarian immigrants on the Kentucky side of Tug Fork.  Join Steve and Rod as they tell the fascinating history of Himlerville, a unique coal mining town in Appalachia founded by a visionary Hungarian immigrant coal miner named Martin Himler. Discover how Himlerville's miners were not only workers but also shareholders, creating a revolutionary model for coal mining communities in the early 1920s.  And after the end of the cooperative caused by an economic downturn, Himler himself went on to lead a most interesting life as an American espionage agent during World War II, leading to his being awarded one of the country's most prestigious honors.  Don't miss this episode of the Stories podcast!  Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Spreaker, iHeartRadio, or on your favorite podcast app to hear more tales from the heart of Appalachia.  You can also support our storytelling journey and access exclusive content by becoming a patron here:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/stories-of-appalachia--5553692/support  Thanks for listening, and we'll see you next time!  

Summary This week on Live Like the World is Dying, we have a cross posted episode from the Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness podcast because it was just very relevant to the themes on this show. We have an interview with Henri Feola, talking about the state repression, getting through being in jail, and his new zine "The Veil Between Worlds is Plexiglass: notes, doodles, and poems from an incarcerated forest defender." If you want a copy of this zine, head to www.tangledwilderness.org. About the Zine On January 18, 2023, Atlanta police murdered Tortuguita, a protester defending the Weelaunee People's Forest. Three days later, a vigil was held in downtown Atlanta, after which property destruction occurred and two police cars were set on fire. Myself and five others were arrested in the vicinity of the vigil. We all received the same set of charges, including domestic terrorism. All but one of us were denied bail and remained in pretrial detention. The state did not have to provide any evidence of our alleged crimes, or argue the facts of the case, in order to incarcerate us. The broken and overcrowded penal system in Atlanta forced us to wait months to appear in court again and argue for bail; many of our fellow inmates were in the same situation, waiting months or years for court appearances. I was released with a $25,000 bail and orders to leave the state of Georgia on April 26, after 96 days in jail. This zine is a lightly edited collection of writing from my time in jail. You can visit https://defendtheatlantaforest.org/ for more information on the Defend the Atlanta Forest movement.** Guest Info Henri Feola (he/they) is a writer, musician, abolitionist, and mutual aid organizer based in Appalachia. His creative work has been published in Apricity, Thimble Magazine, and Flash Fiction Magazine, among others, and his nonfiction articles have been published in American Scientist.

This is part 2 of the show where we welcomed our old buddy Smokey back up to the cabin, where we had a great discussion about what a Free Appalachia would look like. We discussed geography, government, what cities to include, and much more. This was recored before Hurricane Helene, so the significance of the hypothetical is more relevant than when we recorded in mid September. Check it out, we think you'll really enjoy this one.Support the show
