Send us a Text Message.We are in the mountains and foothills of Kentucky this week. Donald Harvey, known as the "Angel of Death" from Kentucky, confessed to causing at least 37 deaths, with some believing there were even more. For 17 years, he worked in hospitals, where his secretive and deadly methods left many unanswered questions. The Blue Fugates of Kentucky, a family whose skin turned blue due to a rare genetic condition, have intrigued scientists and locals alike for generations. Their mysterious blue hue, passed down through generations, begs the question: what other secrets lie within their unique genetic makeup? Join us as we unravel the dark and intriguing mysteries of Kentucky's past and explore the fascinating stories that continue to captivate and puzzle to this day. --Follow us on Social Media and find out how to support A Scary State by clicking on our Link Tree: https://instabio.cc/4050223uxWQAl--Have a scary tale or listener story of your own?

The novel Horse by Geraldine Brooks was the book that inspired this particular trip for their club.

But where many see hopelessness, Doug Naselroad, a master luthier from Hindman, Kentucky, sees an opportunity to help those in need. Naselroad founded a nonprofit instrument manufacturer, The Troublesome Creek Stringed Instrument Company, to train and employ people in recovery, helping them find purpose and belonging as they work their way through recovery. The Troublesome Creek Stringed Instrument Company strives to make beautiful handcrafted instruments, including dulcimers, guitars and mandolins.   Interested in becoming part of the Troublesome Creek family of dealers?

The organization's work included supporting the First Annual Almost Heaven Classic golf tournament. Wing 2 Wing co-founder Alys Smith led the Inaugural Women Warriors Summit to empower women's voices.  The foundation also expanded on its popular Ascend WV remote worker program by launching a spinoff program named First Ascent that encourages recent graduates of Marshall University and West Virginia University to stay in the state after completing their studies.

Again listener Ashleigh C convinced us to read a Patterson book because Dolly Parton co-wrote it as “it's very loosely autobiographical.” So we took on 17-week NYT bestseller by Dolly Parton and James Patterson. There's a companion country album? Yes please. We also have special guest - comedian, showrunner and fellow Pennsylvanian Leo Allen, the man behind such classic shows as Nathan For You, Review with Forrest MacNeil, Jon Benjamin Has a Van and yes, even Saturday Night Live.

Imagine yourself walking through the dark hills of Eastern Kentucky in the 1800s when suddenly you come upon a group of blue skinned people. Seems like something out of a Sci fi novel but this was reality in the holler of Troublesome Creek. Join us in discussing how Martin Fugate, a French orphan, in one of the most bizarre cases of pure coincidence, began a family line of blue people in Ky.

cw: incest, childhood sexual abuse, rape, abortion After a few months off, we're back y'all! And this time Shaena takes us down to another small town to learn about a family of blue people. Yes, you read that right - Blue People. Join us as we wander down to Troublesome Creek, Kentucky and learn about the Fugates: aka The Blue Fugates, aka ‘The Blue People of Kentucky'. Why are they blue? Listen to find out. Spoiler alert: it has to do with a lot of inbreeding. This episode, Shaena explores the history of this family, asking the question “Why the Fuck Are They Blue?”, and takes us on a few wild and uncomfortable tangents about incest. Buckle Up!

We end 2022 with a great book from Kristin Hannah called the Winter Garden. Kristin Hannah is also the author of the The Nightingale and The Four Winds. The Winter Garden takes place during modern times with flash backs to Russia during WWII. Hannah does a superb job of bringing to life the generational affects of war and the family dysfunction that is born from lack of communication. This story is weaved between sisters and their mother and the converging of each of their lives. The grit and determination of people that lived through such horrendous times is incredible. We greatly appreciate the reachers and historians that sought out stories such as the one in this book and preserved the truth of what really happened. If you enjoy learning a bit of history while reading check out our other episodes where we recap historical fiction novels as well as a few true stories.

If you have been wondering where the July episode of Uniquely Kentucky has been, do not worry you did not miss a thing. We decided to hit the pause button out of respect to several major tragedies making the headlines in eastern Kentucky in June and July. First the funerals for the deadly ambush on three Floyd Co county officers and a K9 in early July and then the historic and catastrophic flooding that swept across parts of eastern Kentucky in late July. WKYT''s Amber Philpott is someone who holds eastern Kentucky very close to her heart. It's a place that gave Amber her start in television news, it's the place she got her college education and to her the mountains and its people will always have a place in her heart. This past month has been so incredibly hard on so many of our neighbors in eastern Kentucky, they have endured trauma, lost loved ones and watched as everything they worked so very hard for was washed away by the power of mother nature. The flooding turned creeks like Troublesome Creek, normally mild and meandering into raging torrents of water. Over the last month Amber and the WKYT team has spent time on the ground in places like Perry and Breathitt Counties, the devastation and destruction they have witnessed up close is immense, but they have also seen the kindness of strangers, been able to personally hug those who just needed to know someone cared and watched as a resilient region started to pick itself up and lean on others to get by. In this episode we found it only fitting to introduce you to someone that uses his creative passion and soul to bring to life stories through video documenting eastern Kentucky and its people. Justin Skeens is an award-winning digital storyteller, in fact he is the Director of Digital Storytelling at Berea College. Skeens is an eastern Kentucky native, a former WYMT and WKYT videographer and in the last month he has picked up his camera not to document, but help preserve the history and struggles that have unfolded during this chaotic time. His love for Appalachia and everything it stands for is quite evident when you talk with him or watch one of his beautifully crafted pieces. He is a boy from the mountains living out a dream behind the lens using his talents to share with the world a place so many of us hold dear, Appalachia.

Kim Michele Richardson joins Carol Fitzgerald to discuss her new breakout success, The Book Woman's Daughter. Following from the first book, The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek, this successor tells the story of Honey, the librarian's daughter. Honey picks up the same packhorse library trail as her mother, but she still has countless struggles as she brings the books where they need to go. Kim talks about the success of the first book, and how she decided to continue the story. Kim and Carol discuss sequels, extraordinary women, and the value of books.
