The Pack Horse Library Project was part of the WPA's attempt to relieve rural poverty in Kentucky.  Since many people in Appalachian Kentucky didn't have access to books, the "book ladies" of the Pack Horse library brought books to them in remote areas via packhorses.  The librarians would haul hundreds of books into the back country via horseback, serving rural communities and promoting literacy and education in communities that didn't have any books.  Women would ride routes that covered over 100 miles as then rotated through communities, sharing books and homemade "instructive literature". At the end of the WPA funding in 1943 the communities were again cut off from library access until the advent of the bookmobile in the 1950s.

Larry Porter's life began with brokenness, but God was at work even when he didn't realize it. Growing up in Eastern Kentucky, Larry faced challenges that shaped his resilience and self-reliance. Despite a loving grandmother and success in sports, he always felt something was missing.Everything changed when a friend invited him to church. A powerful sermon led him to surrender his life to Christ, setting him on a path of faith that would impact his entire family. Years later, after decades of prayer, Larry had the privilege of baptizing his own father—a moment that proved God's timing is always perfect.This is a story of perseverance, answered prayers, and the transformative power of faith. If you've ever prayed for a loved one to come to Christ, Larry's journey is a reminder to keep trusting in God's plan.

Legislators working to attract more filmmakers to Kentucky, bill aiming to modernize NIL in Kentucky clears a comittee, why certain weapons could soon be destroyed instead of auctioned, Secretary Kristi Noem surveys flood damage in Eastern Kentucky, a confirmed case of measles in Kentucky, and a familiar face is part of a traveling Broadway cast.

Lawmakers hear from two state senators about the devastating floods from earlier this month in Eastern Kentucky, a bill banning cell phones in schools advances, legislation clarifying charges for disrupting legislative proceedings gains traction, water fluoridation is under the microscope again, and Congressman Massie is the only Republican to vote against a budget resolution.

Ole Miss baseball has won six of its first seven games, including a three-game sweep of lowly Eastern Kentucky over the weekend. The Rebels gave up seven combined runs over three days, the fewest in a series in two years. They finished with a collective 2.33 ERA to go along with 42 strikeouts and a .177 opponent batting average.Long-time Rebel hitting coach Mike Clement joins this Monday, February 24 edition of ‘Talk of Champions' to provide some key takeaways and snap judgements from the hot start. Ole Miss has been more powerful than Clement expected early on, Hunter Elliott has looked himself, Hayden Federico has sparked the lineup and the switch to Joel Mangrum as pitching coach is already paying off.‘Talk of Champions' is always powered by RiverLand Roofing.

Texas A&M lost Sunday's game to Cal Poly but won the series two games to one. Justin Lamkin's six-inning, scoreless start was one of the highlights of the Aggies' weekend. Vanderbilt's offense came alive all weekend as freshman Brodie Johnston made his collegiate debut and Cody Bowker threw five hitless innings on Sunday. Florida swept Dayton easily; Pierce Coppola threw five innings of two-run ball on Sunday. Mississippi State swept Missouri State as Stone Simmnos threw four scoreless innings Sunday and the Bulldogs started to find their home-run power. Auburn swept Wright State decisively; the Tigers' pitching has been consistent all week and they've now won six in a row. Kentucky's Carson Hansen, a Milwaukee transfer, had a breakout weekend in the WIldcats' road sweep at Belmont.

Chris Lee, Alfred Ezman and Graham Doty talk SEC baseball results from Friday night as starting pitching again took center stage. Topics include: Tennessee's Liam Doyle has his second-straight dominant start, striking out 14 hitters over 5 1/3 innings, while Tanner Franklin goes the rest of the way and whiffs six in the Vols' 5-1 victory over Samford.

Texas A&M's Ryan Prager threw five shutout innings and Gavin Grahovac homered in a 6-1 victory over Cal Poly. Arkansas fell 3-2 to Kansas State for its first loss. The Razorbacks got solo homers from the Aloy brothers but just three strikeouts from its pitching staff. Alabama got an impressive 9-2 win over Coastal Carolina in Jacksonville despite getting three (3!) hits, only one of which scored a run. Instead, the Crimson Tide took 12 walks and were plunked three times. Zane Adams threw 4 1/3 innings of one-run ball, fanning six in his start. Georgia sweeps a doubleheader with 9-3 and 15-1 victories over Illinois-Chicago. Leighton Finley throws five shutout innings in the second game to highlight the Bulldogs' mound work. Vanderbilt beat St. Mary's, 11-4, with Jonathan Vastine contributing a home run and RJ Austin, a pair of triples. But the biggest story was the season debuts of infielders Brodie Johnston and Mike Mancini, two likely starters for the Commodores. Bobby Boser hit his first homer as a Gator, and Florida routed Dayton, 13-1, thanks to a scoreless, four-inning start from Liam Peterson. Oklahoma edges Minnesota, 3-2, thanks to Kyson Witherspoon's seven-inning, one-run, 12-strikeout day. Ole Miss's Luke Hill had two more hits and swiped two bases while Hunter Elliott fanned 10 in six innings in an 8-0 win over Eastern Kentucky.

Without everyone of you'ins who has pulled a rocking chair up to our virtual front porch from time to time and shucked a bean or two with us in the last 5 years, our deepest and most sincere gratitude. Without y'all - we would have probably been a political podcast! Thanks to y'all for keeping us on the straight and narrow, and we promise to keep providing you unbiased, blunt, honest, sometimes humorous and occasionally offensive old and new minitruck content for years (weeks?) to come!
