Episode List
#101 Moonshine
We explore Franklin County, Moonshine capital of the world, to get a better look at the history of white liquor. We travel the backroads with Henry Lee Law, Roddy Moore and Bethany Worley as they share their expertise and stories of the past and the economic outlook for this now legal favorite of Virginia’s Appalachia.
#102 Cooking
Appalachian cuisine is a great cultivation of different cultures; so, we travel to Bristol, Abingdon, Cedar Bluff and Castlewood Virginia to get a taste for what’s cooking in Virginia’s Appalachia. From food trucks, BBQ joint, fine dining, and Grandmas kitchen – we cover it all.
#103 Logging
Spending a few days with Jason Rutledge at Ridgewind Suffolk Farm in Floyd County, Virginia. We dig deep into the old practice of logging with horses, also learning the differences between a woodsman and a logger. Since 1981, Jason has spent his life working with draft horses and coined the term “worst first, restorative forestry.”
#104 Quilting
You might have a cherished one on your bed or know someone who’s made one or maybe made one yourself- it’s all about quilting as we visit quilting bees, meetings, shows, and talk with a quilt historian along with other local quilters about the art of quilt making.
#105 Canning
Canning has been and continues to be an important part of living in Appalachia, either in the home or now industrialized. Join us on a visit to local canneries to learn about the history and see the way the time-honored tradition is thriving today.
#106 Fishing & Hunting
Traveling down to Wytheville, Virginia, we spent a few days out in the wilderness learning about local fishes and even go on a turkey hunt.
