Stories of Mountain Folk keeps Heritage Alive and Available

Start your week off on a positive note by listening to the Podcast from Saturday's Stories of Mountain Folk. Through modern technology the Show keeps the past, and mountain heritage, alive and well - and in the here and now. The 30 minute broadcasts cover all things mountain from music to gardening to storytelling. The radio show began in September 2008, the product of the ever-creative minds of  the Ammons Sisters, cofounders of Catch the Spirit of Appalachia.

The weekly shows are available anytime by going to the Stories of Mountain Folk Website, one of the many projects of Catch the Spirit of Appalachia. On the podcast from the July 23 show you can listen to The Butterpats introduce the show with "For the Beauty of the Earth," followed by Doreyl's interview with Peggy Dawson of Tuckasegee about gardening. Host Amy then talks with Bill Crawford from Franklin about how his parents met in Nantahala, and the show concludes with the Cockman Family and "Old Time Religion."

The shows have been archived on the website and are there waiting for you whenever you need a little lift or a few minutes of sanity and spiritual sustenance.  Click here to listen now.
