“I have to say, stories sound better with a southern accent. My dad was from the Appalachian mountains in the northwestern corner of NC. (His dad was from Tennessee...so I wonder if we are truly kinfolk, because we really are ALL related there.) My hill billy side has always been my best side and the side I am most proud of. My dad worked in WI every summer and eventually married a northerner and stayed there. But, his heart was always in NC and he longed to go back. I would take him many times enjoying his stories and seeing the joy it brought him to be there with his family and friends. He would say Appalachian in the correct way...we were taught that incorrect pronunciation on our northern schools. It took me until my early 20's to realize we were taught it wrong in school and if you are from there, you say it the correct way. So, I say it correcty now (and everyone Looks at me a little side-eyed). My case in point, any Wisconsiner would know exactly how to pronounce : Menomonee Falls, Waukesha, Oconomowoc, Fond Du Lac, Lac du Flambeau...etc... and we would laugh at the rest of the world that mispronounces them. (If you read this review, you don't have to say them...you can just say I listed a few Wisconsin towns). Anyway, my father passed in 2018. It was after this time I came to an understanding of such things. I sure wish I could ask him of any of the stories and lore he knew or if he had any strange encounters in his neck of the woods, knowing what I now know. I have to ask some of my cousins if there are any stories. My dad and I had a huge bird fly in front of the car once...to which our mind said it must have been an owl because it was at night. But, we joked about it being a flying elephant or pterodactyl, the wing span was huge. Now, in hindsight, I wonder what the heck it was. I am happy to have stumbled upon your podcast. I enjoy it, I learn, it reminds me of my dad and I feel like I have kinfolk who don't think I am crazy. I look forward to each show and I am going through the old ones. Thank you for putting this stuff out there.”Read full review »

“Great show; if you ever wondered why people are digging for coal in the mountains these guys have it all figured out. If the podcast world was a giant cookout these are the guys who would be set up at the table farthest from everyone else and everyone else keeps staring at because they are...”Read full review »
