On today's episode, Chuck talks with Christopher J. Williamson, Assistant Secretary for Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). Secretary Williamson leads the federal agency in charge of keeping all miners safe and healthy, and was a key figure behind rule changes that help protect miners from silica dust exposure.  We're thrilled he joined the show!

Chuck talks with Justice Hudson, a freelance reporter covering homelessness in Wheeling, WV about the recent actions by the city to demolish homeless camps, and how these destructive policies spread far beyond just his city.

Chuck and Callie discuss a recent article in Belt about queer Appalachian witches, and how they're building a beautiful and supportive community, and the absurd backlash they received on Twitter after posting about the article.

Chuck and Callie discuss a ridiculous article from the Federalist that argues Tyler Childers is alienating his base of listeners and talk to our good buddy, Philip Bowen!

Callie is back! We catch up and talk about Jim Justice running for senate in West Virginia, Joe Manchin's many political dilemma's in his future, the Mountain Valley Pipeline sellout in the debt ceiling deal, and the Canton mill closure.

David Morris is an American singer-songwriter from Charleston, WV. David talks with Chuck and Big John about how his roots in Appalachia have influenced his music and who he is as a person. You may know him from when he put music out under the name D-WHY, from the music he's making in the present day, or maybe this is your first time listening to him. Regardless - we know you'll appreciate his passion for his small town roots, range of musical talent, dedication to his fans, and introspection on growing up in Appalachia.
