Podcasts about Appalachian

Fayetteville, West Virginia sits on the edge of the New River Gorge, a small Appalachian town now known as a gateway to one of America's newest national parks. But on Christmas Eve in 1945, it became the setting for one of the most haunting unsolved mysteries in American history. After a house fire destroyed the home of George and Jennie Sodder, five of their children vanished without a trace, leaving behind conflicting investigations, reported sightings, unsettling clues, and a decades-long search for answers. Sources: What Happened to the Sodder Children, the Siblings Who Went Up in Smoke in a West Virginia House Fire? The Sodders thought they lost their children in a house fire. But they found only mystery in the ashes For a full list of our sources, visit npadpodcast.com/episodes For the latest NPAD updates, group travel details, merch and more, follow us on npadpodcast.com and our socials at: Instagram: @‌nationalparkafterdark TikTok: @‌nationalparkafterdark Support the show by becoming an Outsider and receive ad free listening, bonus content and more on Patreon or Apple Podcasts.

Here in the Garden with Ron Wilson, we're talking about what's new and what's next in gardening. This week, we're joined by Rita Hikenfeld, a CCPCMH Award-winning syndicated journalist and Appalachian herbal scholar. We're discussing the latest trends in gardening, from fusion plants to functional foods. Rita shares her insights on the resurgence of old-fashioned plants like comfrey, perilla, and tallow, and how they're becoming increasingly popular in modern cooking and gardening. We're also talking with Em Shipman about the importance of getting kids involved in gardening and how organizations like Kids Gardening are making a difference.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

History and heritage naturally go hand in hand, and the desire to preserve the former is generally maintained by preserving the latter. Singer, songwriter and musician Marty Falle knows that all too well. His connection to the traditional music of Appalachia was spawned from spending much of his time after graduating from college living in Kentucky, the place where bluegrass was born. Now living on a farm in Eastern Kentucky, he's thoroughly absorbed the music, culture and influences of that storied region, and in the process, made them his own.Falle's producer, Grammy winner Jonathan Yudkin, sums it up succinctly. “Marty seeks stories, history, legends, and paths in creativity… His fresh sound comes from the fact that he is not trying to emulate bluegrass bands of the past or present. Instead, he is creating his songs out of his love of music, unfettered by the influence of other artists. That's what I enjoy the most about working with him. His songs are always unpredictable and surprising…”That, then, is the essence of an artist who's not only impacted by history and heritage, but one who effectively moves those foundations forward as well. He's an Appalachian original and a dedicated contributor to Americana music in general.

This Cinderella-style story is set in the Appalachian mountains and told by Storyteller from Dragon Fly Tales: Emily Hanna-Grazebrook. It has all the ingredients of a great fairytale: a witch-woman, a mistreated orphan, a kind doctor's son, some mean stepsisters and some stonkingly good singing from Emily.

After a strong three game winning streak, Appalachian men's hoops look to start strong in conference play. 

Jacob Griffin is a lifelong houndsman, bear hunter and turkey farmer in Pendleton County, West Virginia. This is the first of a two-part podcast series recorded in the field with the Griffin brothers as we drove up rough mountain forest roads covered in snow and ice in pursuit of bear tracks. After a reading of Abraham Lincoln's 1846 poem, "The Bear Hunt," we jump right into it, hearing how the dogs work including Jacob's fearless mountain feist, Pete, who recently was nearly killed by a bear. Our jovial huntsman summarizes an exciting lifetime of dog injuries, harrowing bear encounters, and a pile of destroyed trucks. We hear how meaningful this Appalachian folkway & tradition is to the Griffin family, including how the old timers did it before modern GPS technology.  Moving on to felines, we discuss large cat tracks we've found and regional panther-lore. As we finally reach our remote starting point, Jacob tells a haunting story of a paranormal scream he heard in that exact location which opens up talk of finding long forgotten graveyards as well as eerie signs of people hiding out in this mountain fastness. Let the hunt begin!

David sits down with Dr. Jennifer Cramer, Director of the Appalachian Studies Program at the University of Kentucky and a Professor in the department of Linguistics to talk about the myths and realities of Appalachian Englishes. They talk about her research into dialects in Kentucky and Appalachia and how Appalachian English dialects are similar and different from other American English dialects, and how that influences the ways people think about the region. They also discuss her work with the Kentucky Humanities Council and participation in the Speakers Bureau, a program that provides high-quality speakers to libraries and other non-profits.Thank you for joining us on Tales from the Kentucky Room this year!

Set in the Appalachian Mountains, the story jumps between 1981 North Georgia, where a bloody war between moonshiners cracks open a hidden cave and wakes an ancient evil, and the present day, where Detective Donald Mackinder is hunting a serial killer while wrestling with his family's dark past. Think True Detective colliding with IT in a slow-burn, forty-year mystery full of cult secrets, small-town sins, and something monstrous lurking just out of sight.  We talk about building Appalachian noir with a supernatural edge, how Jon braids trauma, faith, and fate into the case, and what he's learned running multiple successful comic Kickstarters. If you're into moody crime stories with a horror heartbeat, this one's for you. Back the book: search for “Dime-Store Detective Volume 1” on Kickstarter.   The Title sequence was designed and created by Morgan Quaid.

On November 20, 2025, Virginia State Police were headed to question high school football coach Travis Turner at his home in Appalachia, Virginia. Before they arrived, he was gone. His wife says he walked into the dense Appalachian mountains behind their house, allegedly carrying a firearm. He hasn't been seen since. Four days later, authorities issued ten felony warrants — five counts of possession of child sexual abuse material, five counts of using a computer to solicit a minor. Additional charges are pending. Travis Turner, the beloved head coach of the undefeated Union High School Bears, is now a fugitive. The U.S. Marshals and FBI have joined the manhunt. There's a $5,000 reward. And every court document in the case has been sealed. But here's where it gets darker. Turner isn't the first coach at Union High to face charges like this. In 2023, another teacher and coach at the same school pleaded guilty to two felony counts of indecent liberties with a child. Same school. Same time period. Same defense attorney now representing Turner's family. Meanwhile, Turner's team kept playing — and kept winning. They made it all the way to the state semifinals before losing by a single point. The community rallied around those kids while grappling with allegations against the man who coached them. Turner's family says he left behind his wallet, keys, car, medications, and glasses. They've cooperated fully with law enforcement. His wife has publicly pleaded for him to come home and face the charges. But nearly four weeks later, there's no trace of him. Where is Travis Turner? Is he still alive? And what did people in this small Virginia town know — and when did they know it? #TravisTurner #UnionHighSchool #BigStoneGap #MissingPerson #TrueCrime #VirginiaCrime #USMarshals #FugitiveCoach #WiseCounty #CriminalInvestigation Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this gripping episode, East Tennessee witness Robbie Ferrell shares a lifetime of terrifying Bigfoot encounters stretching from the Smoky Mountain region to the secluded ridges, lake coves, and dense valleys surrounding his home. What begins as a normal day in the woods turns into a life-altering moment when Robbie hears impossible bipedal footsteps and a chilling mind-speak command telling him to leave.Over the years, Robbie experiences multiple close visual sightings, massive footprints near his bedroom window, mysterious gifting behavior, and even a night when a towering figure stands just feet from his workshop. His most shocking encounter occurs while exploring a remote Tennessee valley with researcher Harley Owens, where the two men are surrounded, growled at, and charged by multiple forest beings in an aggressive display that changed Robbie's view of the world forever.If you're fascinated by Sasquatch sightings, mind-speak experiences, Appalachian cryptids, Smoky Mountain mysteries, or real eyewitness accounts, this episode delivers one of the most compelling and emotionally raw Bigfoot testimonies recorded. Robbie opens up about fear, trauma, spiritual questions, and the deep desire for answers that keeps him searching despite the danger.Keywords: Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Forest People, East Tennessee Bigfoot, Smoky Mountains Bigfoot, Tennessee sightings, mind-speak, cryptid encounters, Appalachian mysteries, eyewitness Bigfoot story, Harley Owens, Bigfoot chase, Bigfoot aggression, Tennessee ridge sightings.Resources:Contact Robbie: https://www.facebook.com/robbie.ferrell.1Contact Harley: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61580318825726

Today on the podcast, I welcome Courtney Buterbough. Courtney is an empath, spiritual seeker, and lifelong experiencer of anomalous phenomena, but it wasn't until she became severely ill with long Covid in 2020 and began a profound spiritual awakening that she started to have conscious contact, and finally became aware of the broad story of her experiences. All of this has sparked a deep passion in Courtney for experiencer stories, and an interest in using her skills as a mystic, creative, former doula, and inheritor of a familial-based folk magic tradition to be a help to those who are also doing the work of bridging humans from this profound now into whatever comes next.

What would you do if everything you thought you knew about your father turned out to be wrong? What if his silence, his distance, his strange obsession with the mountains wasn't coldness at all, but something else entirely? What if he'd been guarding a secret so profound, so impossible, that it had consumed his entire life? That's the question facing Marcus Stone as he pulls up to a cabin he hasn't entered in twenty-three years. His father is dead. The funeral has already happened, and Marcus wasn't there. Twenty-three years of silence between them, hardened into something neither could break. And now it's too late.Or is it? Because Robert Stone left something behind. A trunk in the cellar. A note in his father's handwriting that speaks of burdens and secrets and an ancestor named Captain Elijah Stone.A note that hints at something that's been passed down through generations, waiting for someone brave enough to finally bring it into the light. What Marcus finds in that cellar will change everything he thinks he knows about his family, about history, and about what really walks in the deep places of the American wilderness. Seven leather-bound journals. Letters tied with twine that's gone black with age. A stone pendant carved with symbols that don't match any language Marcus has ever seen. And the words of a man who died two hundred years ago, preserved in ink that has faded from black to brown but remains perfectly legible.March fifteenth, seventeen ninety-nine.Captain Elijah Stone. Revolutionary War veteran. A man haunted by stories he heard during the brutal winter at Valley Forge. Stories told by Oneida scouts around dying fires. Stories of the elder brothers. The ones who were here before us. The ones who watch from the shadows of ancient forests.This is the beginning of an expedition into the unknown. Nine men riding west from Richmond, following legends and whispers toward something that might not exist. A hot-tempered Scottish soldier carrying grief like a loaded weapon. A Kentucky frontiersman who's been waiting twenty years for someone to go looking. A Philadelphia naturalist convinced that science can explain anything. A former minister searching for proof of God in a world that suddenly seems random and cruel.And leading them all, a captain who knows, somehow, that not all of them will return.The signs begin almost immediately. Footprints eighteen inches long, pressed deep into mud by something that weighs five hundred pounds. Wood knocking in the darkness, three sharp strikes echoing through the trees. Food stolen from bundles hung fifteen feet in the air. Structures built with purpose and intention, a language in the landscape that speaks of intelligence, of planning, of something that thinks. They know we're here, the frontiersman says. They've known since we crossed into the mountains. And then comes the story that changes everything. A blizzard twenty years ago. A young trapper who thought he was going to die. And something that carried him through the storm, examined him in a dark cave, and made a decision. They were deciding what to do with me.What walks in those mountains? What has been watching humanity since before we learned to walk upright? And what did Robert Stone spend his entire life guarding? The answers are waiting in the pages of those journals. And Marcus Stone is about to discover that some inheritances come with a price.This is The Bigfoot Journals, Part One.The expedition has begun.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

In this week's episode, we're turning our attention to a nut that has flown under the radar for far too long and one of the most unique and boldly flavored nuts in the world—the American black walnut. Unlike the mild English walnut most of us buy at the store, black walnuts grow wild, harvested, not from manicured orchards, but from trees scattered across backyards, farms, and forests throughout the Midwest and Appalachian states. They're one of the few truly wild-harvested commercial foods in the United States—a tradition that brings together thousands of local gatherers each fall. With their rich, earthy flavor and crunchy texture, black walnuts have a personality all their own, celebrated by bakers, chefs, and food lovers looking for something real, rustic, and full of character.Joining us to tell us all about them is Jacob Basecke, Executive VP of Hammons Products Company, a fourth-generation family business that has been harvesting, processing and promoting black walnuts for decades from the Ozarks in Southern Missouri.We'll dig into what makes black walnuts different from the English walnut – from flavor to nutrition, sustainability to wild-harvest tradition. We'll explore how Hammons works with thousands of harvesters in the Midwest, how their crop fits into today's consumer and foodservice markets, you can make the most of this bold, wild nut.

Welcome back to Everyday Homesteading. Today I'm sitting down with two people I deeply respect and always enjoy talking with, Shawn and Beth Dougherty. If you have ever wondered whether a family milk cow actually fits into a busy modern homestead, or if you've been feeling that tug toward a simpler, more land-rooted way of feeding your family, this conversation is for you.Shawn and Beth have spent more than twenty-five years raising a large family, stewarding rough Appalachian ground, and building a thriving homestead centered around the grass-fed family cow. Their new book, One Cow Revolution, takes everything they've learned and puts it into a guide that feels like having a wise neighbor over the fence.We talk about why the dairy cow is still one of the most powerful tools for food independence, how managed grazing can rebuild soil and family culture, and why the cow is far less of a burden than most people fear. Whether you already have a cow, hope to bring one home someday, or think you never will, you'll walk away from this episode with a whole new sense of what's possible.Let's dive in.- Grab a copy of One Cow Revolution here: https://a.co/d/gAx6o34- Check out the accompanying blog post here: https://homesteadingfamily.com/can-anyone-keep-a-dairy-cow- Thanks to Lehman's for sponsoring today's podcast.

As the winter chill settles over Berryville, the Barns of Rose Hill is anything but dormant. In this episode of "Tourism Tuesday" on The Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Executive Director Martha Reynolds to discuss the dynamic calendar of events, exhibits, and community initiatives that will keep the arts alive and thriving well into 2026. From innovative art collaborations to milestone anniversaries, the Barns is poised to be a cultural beacon for the region. Winter Exhibits and Artistic Collaborations Despite the common perception that winter is a slow season for the arts, Martha reveals that it's actually one of the busiest times at the Barns. The season kicks off with a unique collaboration with the Firehouse Gallery, featuring a collective of artists from the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. This exhibit, ideal for holiday gift-giving, showcases a diverse array of media—from pen and ink to watercolor, photography, and jewelry. Following this, local artist Jim Haller will present a meditative stippling exhibit, offering visitors a narrative-rich visual experience. Looking ahead, the Barns will spotlight emerging talent through its partnership with the Clarke County High School IB Art Program and a special exhibition by rising artist Kristin Fiorvanti. These initiatives underscore the organization's commitment to nurturing new voices and providing a platform for creative experimentation. Celebrating Milestones: VA250 and the Barns' 15th Anniversary The coming year is especially significant as it marks both the 250th anniversary of the nation and the 15th anniversary of the Barns of Rose Hill. Martha shares her excitement about the Clarke County VA250 committee's collaborative efforts, which will bring a wide variety of programs to the community. Highlights include a kickoff event at Chilly Hollow Brewing Company, a book talk on the Saratoga battle, and a concert series exploring the roots of American music. The Barns will also host a film series in partnership with the American Legion, ensuring there's something for everyone during this historic celebration. Music for Every Taste: Bluegrass, Barbecue, and Beyond Music lovers have much to look forward to, as the Barns' popular Bluegrass and BBQ series returns with crowd favorites like the Plate Scrapers and newcomers such as indie folk cellist Ollella and bluegrass band Damn Tall Buildings. Martha emphasizes the importance of breaking down genre barriers, encouraging audiences to experience the full spectrum of musical styles—from traditional Appalachian tunes to contemporary indie folk. The series not only entertains but also fosters a sense of community and shared appreciation for the arts. Supporting the Arts: The Power of Community Involvement Throughout the conversation, both Janet and Martha stress the vital role of community support in sustaining the Barns' robust programming. Year-end giving, memberships, and ticket sales are crucial for funding concerts, exhibits, and educational initiatives. The Barns also encourages residents to shop local and consider gift memberships, which offer exclusive benefits and help keep the arts accessible to all. As the Barns approaches its 15th anniversary and the conclusion of a decade-long endowment campaign, Martha reflects on the organization's growth and the importance of community engagement. She invites everyone to share their favorite memories and stories, reinforcing the idea that the Barns of Rose Hill is, above all, a community-driven institution. Stay Connected and Get Involved For those eager to stay up to date, Martha recommends visiting barnsofrosehill.org and following the Barns on Facebook. With a full calendar of events, regular newsletters, and a growing online presence, the Barns ensures that no one misses out on the vibrant cultural life of Berryville and Clarke County. The Barns of Rose Hill stands as a testament to the power of art, music, and community. As it enters a milestone year, the organization invites everyone—residents and visitors alike—to join in celebrating creativity, history, and the enduring spirit of collaboration that defines this special place.

Marshal led to a life on the run across North and South Carolina, making Redmond a legend.  Today we tell his story. Be sure to follow the Stories of Appalachia podcast on your favorite podcast app so you never miss a tale from the mountains.
