The college in your market is probably one of the largest employers on your commercial list, and most community banks have no relationship with it. T. Ramon Stuart, president of WVU Tech, and Bill Loving at Pendleton Community Bank built one anyway, out of a lunch for three that came to about sixteen dollars. They call it Communiversity — the community is the university, the university is the community. Key Points Start with the payroll: 309 full-time employees at WVU Tech roughly 849 across a year, counting part-time and contract work "Imagine if the majority of your deposits from payroll went into a community bank." Stuart calls colleges "the modern-day factories of town." Most of his own profession dislikes the comparison. He makes it anyway. Why the community bank is the right partner: It can look under the hood. A loan without clean comps still gets made, because the bank knows the borrower and knows the employer. And students who bank locally come back for the first mortgage — the cheers effect, where you go because somebody knows your name. Financial literacy is the way in: Most people learn about money after the mistakes, once credit is damaged and the rate is higher. First-generation students are the clearest case. On the credit card tables that used to line campus walkways — hand someone three thousand dollars who has never had a dollar and call it a free line — "I think that's very predatory." The co-branded card, and what it did: A Tech employee was checking out at a local business when the cashier recognized the card. She was a Tech graduate with an engineering degree working retail, because she had never managed to navigate the job market. They exchanged information. Less than a month later she had an engineering job. What holds it up: "Nobody really wants to talk finances." And inertia is the real competitor — if you open the app and the money is there, you do not go looking for a new bank. What To Do Monday Call the campus and offer to teach a class. Byron: "It's like asking a teacher or a professor, hey, can I come talk to a class? Absolutely, that's one time I don't have to lecture." Stuart's own reaction is puzzlement that this is not already everywhere: "It just fits, it flows." More on the initiative: [CONFIRM URL — wvutech.edu/communiversity] About the Guest T. Ramon Stuart, Ph.D. is president of the West Virginia University Institute of Technology in Beckley, where he has led the campus since January 2023. He is from McDowell County, holds degrees from West Virginia University and a doctorate from Ohio University, and became a college professor at 23. He previously served as president of Clayton State University and provost at Fort Valley State University, both in Georgia.

Today is Wednesday, Aug. 19, 2026. #1 – From JAMBASE – Billy Strings drops in at the Empty Glass You never know who might show up on a West Virginia stage. While in Charleston for a Mountain Stage appearance, Grammy-winning bluegrass musician Billy Strings made his way to the legendary Empty Glass and settled in for an impromptu jam session. The surprise performance stretched for hours, giving a small crowd the kind of live music experience you can't exactly put on the calendar. It's another reminder of the deep musical culture that runs through West Virginia, from internationally known performers and Mountain Stage to the small clubs where musicians still gather simply for the love of playing.

Located about 20 minutes from Beckley, Plum Orchard Lake offers fishing for largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, crappie and channel catfish, along with hunting and primitive camping. The improvements are part of WVDNR's effort to improve public access while protecting an outdoor resource for generations to come.

Host: JR Guest: Isabella Reddy, author of That You RememberJR sits down with acclaimed author Isabella Reddy to discuss her novel That You Remember, a work of historical fiction loosely based on the Buffalo Creek Disaster — a devastating flood that struck Logan County, West Virginia on February 26, 1972, killing 125 people, mostly women and children, after a coal slurry dam owned by the Pittston Coal Company catastrophically failed.Isabella shares how she spent 10 years researching the story, including visiting the region, reviewing court depositions from the landmark Gerald Stern lawsuit against Pittston, and even going inside coal mines in Beckley, WV and Wales. The spark that drove her to write the novel? A poem recited online by a disaster survivor, whose words — "I can't remember... I can't forget" — moved her to tell the story.The Buffalo Creek Disaster: What happened, who was affected, and why it's been overlooked in mainstream historyCoal culture in southern WV: The deep bond communities have with coal mining, the role of unions (UMWA), and the economic reality of Logan CountyResearch process: Visiting Logan County, going into homes, attending memorials (from the 40th to the 54th anniversary), and using her father's personal desk diaries — he once worked for PittstonThe character of Sarah: A fictional heroine inspired by real people Isabella met — spunky, outspoken, caught between loyalty to her community and a forbidden relationship with a coal operatorCorporate accountability vs. responsibility: Pittston infamously called the disaster "an act of God" — JR and Isabella discuss what that deflection reveals about corporate ethicsThe Miracle Baby, Carrie Albright: A real survivor of the disaster, thrown to safety by his mother as she was swept away; now a successful man in New York CityConnections to global disasters: The 1966 Aberfan disaster in Wales, Erin Brockovich, and Dark WatersHow to support the book and your local library: Purchase the book and provide its ISBN to your state capital to get it placed in every county libraryAmazon and Barnes & NobleRequest it at your local bookstore or libraryPublisher: Bell Aisle Books (an imprint of Brandy Lane Publishing, Richmond, VA)Author's website: thatyouremember.com- **Instagram | Tumblr | Twitter | TikTok | Facebook | LinkedIn — @WVUncommonPlaceMerch store: onecommonplacesquarespace.comJoin the email list via the websiteRate, subscribe, and leave feedback on your favorite podcast platformWV Uncommon Place is a variety podcast covering mental health, empowerment, pop culture, and West Virginia — hosted by JR and Stacey.Episode SummaryKey Topics CoveredWhere to Find the BookConnect with WV Uncommon Place

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear Timothy Green BeckleyAmong UFO enthusiasts, in between the serious, science-based researchers and the crackpots, there are people who enjoy the mystery for the fantastic tales and the colorful people it spawns, as well as the social interaction with the like-minded. One of the first examples of this sort of person was Gray Barker, who became known for his 1956 book They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers. He became good friends with James W. Moseley, who would become well-known as the publisher of Saucer Smear magazine, and the two of them became notorious for pranking and poking fun at what they considered their over-serious peers. As the 1960s got under way, a group formed around Moseley, who was based in Fort Lee, New Jersey. This included Allan Greenfield, Eugene Steinberg, and Timothy Green Beckley. Of these, Beckley, Like Barker, would become a prolific publisher of UFO-related material, and in 1978, he started putting out UFO Review, which was a tabloid-style newspaper chock full of UFO news, reports, interviews, and lurid ads for UFO books, UFO merchandise, new age self-help guides and related paraphernalia. Read more →CONTACT AND SUPPORT
