Tales of the Cumberland and More!
Manage episode 227341140 series 2361306
Hello, folks. Today we tell you about a recent conference on Appalachian stories, genealogy, history and culture that took place at the Breaks Interstate Park in Virginia last weekend, and the concept of "cultural tourism," which can be good, as in the aforementioned conference, or not-so-good, as in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. That leads into a discussion of the importance of Appalachian folk telling their own stories to the world. We also talk about hipster paw-paws, chestnuts, dryland fish, and something called "chicken of the woods." You never know what you get when you listen to us!
You can subscribe to the podcast at Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Play or on your favorite podcast app.
Thanks for listening!
