A podcast about Appalachian Women, both past and present. Hosted by Jessica Miles. https://linktr.ee/mountainlaurels
Ep 9 with Shawna Kay Rodenberg is now live! We talked all about Loretta, some about Dolly & how both somehow fit into the lives of all mountain women. I also learned about Cloud City, a 1960 proposal to turn Pine Mountain into a Gatlinburg-esque Redneck Riviera! You can listen on Apple or Spotify.

Thank you! I’m sorry, it’s not currently available. It was produced by my husband and his brother. They do have a band called "Wayne Graham" with several records on Spotify and Apple! They’re from Whitesburg, KY :)

In our land of plenty, why should people face such suffering? This is the question Eula Hall asked Senator Ted Kennedy in 1983 when he visited Floyd Co, KY.
You can listen to my first episode about Eula Hall with Cara Ellis of Pikeville Pride now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
