US-Präsident Trump will die Landeshauptstadt Washington sicherer machen. Während die Genauigkeit der Polizeistatistik infrage gestellt wird, unterstützt die Polizeigewerkschaft der Polizei Trumps Eingreifen. 2023 starben in der Stadt allein 523 Menschen an Überdosen von Drogen wie Fentanyl – mehr Menschen als in jedem anderen US-Bundesstaat außer West Virginia.

Every week across the U.S. more than two newspapers go out of business. In the past two decades more than 3,000 papers have shut down operations. That's left more than 1,500 counties so-called news deserts. Forty-three of West Virginia's 55 counties have just one local news source and that limited access gives the state a ranking of 46th out of all 50 states. Studies show when local news sources vanish, the result is a drop in community participation on many levels. On the next episode of Us & Them, host Trey Kay visits some regional news deserts to talk about the way local news organizations help a community see and define itself. Some say local coverage is the glue that brings a place together and in Putnam County the Hurricane Breeze continues to offer essential local news while in Greenbrier County, a startup is working to bring back that voice. 

We dive even deeper into the American Song Contest this week, tackling 23 more songs from all over the United States. Some are good, and some are, well... not as good, but hey, we're just Countryin' the States.

Chef Tristen Epps, who just won Season 22 of Bravo's Top Chef, grew up the son of a single mom who was a JAG, a lawyer with the military. That meant he moved about 16 times before the end of high school—from Guam to the Philippines—and was exposed to a wide range of cuisines from a young age. His travel background, along with family roots in Trinidad, led to a deep appreciation for food and cooking, and also a desire to both celebrate and elevate Afro-Caribbean cuisine. Now, on the tail of his high profile Top Chef win, he's on a path to opening a fine dining restaurant in Houston called Buboy – a tribute to his grandfather's nickname. And his goals for Buboy are ambitious, as he looks to bring Afro-Caribbean cooking in the United States to the Michelin-star level. We'll talk about all that, plus the years he spent working at the Greenbriar in West Virginia, how his step-father's unfortunate passing mid-season affected his time on Top Chef, and how he's embracing his identity as a Southerner and a Houstonian.

Built in the 1960s, the lake submerged the town, revealing its roads and stone structures only when the dam is drained for maintenance. Divers and history lovers call it Appalachian Atlantis—and it's a fascinating chapter in WV's story.

On this episode of Heard Tell, we turn down the noise on US Senator Bernie Sanders visiting West Virginia as part of his current tour with reporter and founder of Wheeling Free Press Justice Hudson who was in the room and working the crowds during the Wheeling rally. Since Justice reports on local issues from city council meetings and homeless ordinance debates to major disasters and election coverage, the perfect person to parse through the hot takes and media narratives. Was the crowd locals or "bussed in" as some accused, why does Bernie Sanders play better even in red states than some of his most ardent supporters do, how did West Virginia get to be so red in the first place, and grown folk talk about the difference between big splashy rallies and viral video moments and the hard work of actually winning elections. Plus, how the recent deadly flooding is present in all other things in Wheeling right now, and Justice's personal experience of going to cover the flooding as a story, but having to get involved in the clean up himself.

Episode: 1421 The Rocket Boys, a moving story of adolescence and engineering.  Today, a book with a surprising subtext.

When John Brown raided the arsenal at Harpers Ferry, the pastor of St. Peter's Catholic Church was caught up in the fray. ("Cradles of Catholicism" series, no. 40, West Virginia)

MLB attempted to play a game at Bristol Speedway and it was a total disaster. A record-breaking crowd filled Bristol Motor Speedway to watch the Atlanta Braves take on the Cincinnati Reds, but not everyone left with a winning experience.Among the attendees was Lester Tate and his family, who traveled to the Tennessee venue for the unique ballgame. What they're saying:Tate said while the concept of hosting a baseball game at the iconic NASCAR track was exciting, the execution left much to be desired. He described long waits for basic concessions—claiming he stood in line for two hours for either a bunless hot dog and nachos without cheese—and criticized stadium signage and overall logistics."Frankly, if they'd spent half the time hyping to try and get 85,000 people there planning on what you're going to do when the 85,000 get there, it would have been a total success," Tate said.Certain states will no longer allow you to buy junk food with SNAP.In a win for Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) advocates, six more states have gotten waivers allowing them to ban soda, candy and other high-sugar junk foods from being purchased through the federally funded, but state-operated Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP. The waivers, which amend the statutory definition of eligible food for purchase under SNAP, were granted to West Virginia, Florida, Colorado, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. The new restrictions on what can and cannot be purchased will go into effect in 2026.The six new waivers bring the number of states that have sought to restrict SNAP purchases of junk food to 12. The other states who received waivers from the Trump administration earlier this year were Nebraska, Iowa, Indiana, Arkansas, Idaho and Utah.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
