Barbara Kingsolver says that she's “drawn to characters who don't feel they have a place at the table. They've heard too many conversations that begin: You poor backward soul, living in the middle of nowhere.” It's that impulse that animates her 2022 episodic novel “Demon Copperhead,” which won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction this year. It's the story of Demon, an orphan in Appalachia who's beset by crushing poverty and neglect but whose hardships are structural, introduced to his community by the mining and pain pill industries and made worse by urban prejudice and disdain. We talk to Kingsolver about how she brought “Demon Copperhead” to life and the power of art – both her protagonist's and her own – to give voice and change minds. Guests: Barbara Kingsolver, author, "Demon Copperhead," which won the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Her other books include "Unsheltered," "The Poisonwood Bible," and "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle."

My guests this week are Martin Simpson & Thomm Jutz, who join me to talk about their wonderful new record  'Nothing But Green Willow : The Songs of Mary Sands and Jane Gentry.' The album brings together a selection of British folk songs collected in Appalachia in the early 20th century by Cecil Sharp and Maud Karpeles. Alongside Martin and Thomm it features a range of incredible artists from both sides of the pond, including Sierra Hull and Justin Moses,  Angeline Morrison, Odessa Settles, Tim O'Brien, Tammy Rogers, Seth Lakeman, Dale Ann Bradley and Tim Stafford. We talk about how the songs made their way to Appalachia, how (and why) Cecil and Maud travelled to the region to collect them and why this record is so important to both Martin and Thomm.It was a truly fascinating conversation and it's a superb record. I'd really urge you to check out the physical copies of this one as the packaging is amazing and features some really informative and fascinating liner notes.

During the Great Depression, times were hard.  Many men were forced to take to the road to find any kind of work or handout they could get, just to survive.  These men, or “hobos,” as they were called, road the rails across the country and were a common sight in Appalachia.

Today, we are back in a rural American context. I am having a conversation with a pastor who serves in rural Eastern Kentucky as a bi-vocational pastor. Our guest today is Pastor William Dooley. William Dooley is a high school teacher and the bi-vocational pastor of Middletown Baptist Church in Berea, KY, as well as an adjunct communication professor at Eastern Kentucky University and Bluegrass Community and Technical College. He is pursuing a Master of Arts in Ministry at Clear Creek Baptist Bible College. He has been married to Sherry for 29 years (as of August 7), and they have two daughters, Kailynn (24) and Karlee (15).

Bio: Paul FehribachBig Jones Born and raised in Jasper, Indiana, Paul Fehribach's small-town upbringing instilled in him a passion for heritage recipes. His summers were filled with fishing, hunting, foraging for mushrooms and helping in the garden at his grandparents' farmhouse. Fond memories of working alongside his mother in the kitchen and cooking from family heirloom recipes resulted in an appreciation for fresh, seasonal ingredients and a love for traditional cooking. As the executive chef and co-owner of Big Jones in Chicago, he showcases his homespun-style of cooking and commitment to finding and preserving historic foods of the American South. Chef Paul is a graduate of Indiana University's Jacob School of Music in Bloomington, Indiana. Following graduation, he served as the executive chef at Chapman's Restaurant & Bar where he further explored cooking with local and organic ingredients and heirloom seeds. In the early 1990s, he joined the opening group of Laughing Planet Café in downtown Bloomington before moving to Chicago in 1996. He transitioned to the front of house while working at restaurants Hi Ricky Asian Noodle Shop in Deerfield, Ill. and finally Schubas Tavern & Harmony Grill. By 2008, Paul was ready to return to the kitchen. He branched out on his own with the opening of his restaurant Big Jones. His regionally-inspired fare with Cajun, Creole, Lowcountry and Appalachia influences has garnered both local and national acclaim, including Best New Restaurant by Chicago Magazine. With a focus on utilizing seasonal heirloom crops, he actively supports co-ops, small farmers and frequents Chicago's Green City Market. When not hard at work in the kitchen, Paul volunteers for the Healthy Schools Campaign aMnd Chicago Public Schools' "Go for the Gold" campaign to promote healthy eating in schools and combat childhood obesity.

Originally published Jan. 9, 2023: The things Adeem the Artist hasn't directly experienced, the Knoxville musician has delicately observed in the struggles of strangers and friends in their 34 years, culminating in 11 sung stories of "White Trash Revelry" released on Dec. 2.  Perhaps, you have seen the album on "best-of" lists by Rolling Stone and Billboard or heard their music praised by Brandi Carlile, a queer country artist in her own right − and a Grammy-winning one, at that. Conversations surrounding Southern music and culture are changing, and Adeem the Artist is a newfound flagbearer for that movement. But if you ask them, they're just calling it how they see it.

This week, we're revisiting our episode “What Is Appalachia?” from December 2021. Appalachia connects mountainous parts of the South, the Midwest, the Rust belt and even the Northeast. The Appalachian Regional Commission defined the boundaries for Appalachia in 1965 with the creation of the Appalachian Regional Commision, a part of Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty. It was legislation that sought to expand social welfare, and some localities were eager for the money, while others resisted the designation. The boundaries and definition of Appalachia can now only be changed by an act of Congress. Politically, Appalachia encompasses 423 counties across 13 states — and West Virginia's the only state entirely inside the region. That leaves so much room for geographic and cultural variation, as well as many different views on what Appalachia really is.  For Inside Appalachia, we turned our entire episode over to the question, “What is Appalachia?” With stories from Mississippi to Pittsburgh, we asked people across our region whether they consider themselves to be Appalachian.

Sabrina Zunich was a troubled young woman who had grown up in a dysfunctional family situation. She wound up in foster care but eventually landed in the caring home of the Knoefels-an Ohio couple with two children. When Lisa Knoefel is violently murdered by Sabrina- the young woman claims she was seduced by her foster father, Kevin Knoefel. Lisa's murder was brutal and tragic. The case details are disturbing. Join Mountain Murders as we try to make sense of this horrible tragedy-and how a young woman could be groomed to commit murder by a man who posed as her "father".

For a century and a half the king of central Appalachia has been coal. That mineral powered the industrial revolution in America, made some men and corporations very wealthy and provided jobs for the Appalachian men and women who dug it out of the ground. Those jobs, though, didn't pay nearly well enough to justify the human costs of the work, so in 1912 miners in the Paint Creek and Cabin Creek areas of West Virginia went on strike, triggering the first battle in what's come to be known as the West Virginia Mine Wars. Today we tell that story.Be sure to subscribe to the Stories podcast on Spreaker, where we tell the stories of this place we call home.

When it comes to possession, we're used to hearing stories about the demonic variety. But there's another side to it: those anointed by the Holy Spirit in religious movements such as Pentecostalism. This type of possession crescendos to ecstatic states, along with spastic movements, snake and fire handling, poison drinking, and faith healing. And in this rare case, a murder done in the name of God. This is the story of one of the most bizarre, depraved, & little-known acts of spirit possession ever committed: Appalachia's first & only case of ritual sacrifice. Was spirit possession really to blame for the Unknown Tongue Cult murder? And as a chaser, Jake tells the tragic/comic story of George Went Hensley, the man responsible for popularizing snake handling at church. Can you guess how that one ends?
