In this episode of Stories of Appalachia, we tell the remarkable tale of Talmadge Judd, a backyard innovator from Kingsport, Tennessee, whose vision and mechanical abilities led to the creation in 1945 of the Humming Bird, an automobile far ahead of its time.   With no blueprints, Judd built the Humming Bird in just four months—a subcompact marvel that boasted impressive fuel efficiency and a sleek design decades ahead of its time.   Join Steve Gilly and Rod Mullins as they tell another one of the Stories of Appalachia!   Listen now on Spreaker, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Audible, or wherever you get your podcasts.
