Thank you.
Truly a wonderful example of what great journalism looks like.
Riveting
This is an amazing podcast. I can’t believe I didn’t know about it long before now, because I’ve enjoyed Kelly McEvers’ reporting on NPR for so long. I’ve started at the beginning, with S1 E1, and I’m really excited that there are so many seasons I’ll get to enjoy. The research and reporting are approached with intelligence, humility, and sensitivity. The pace and editing are right on, and the subject matter is evocative and riveting. I highly recommend it.
Coal country Buchanan county
My boyfriend is from Buchanan country
Virginia. His whole family and many friends were coal miners and worked in the industry. He clearly remembers the day he was cutting the grass around a coal area and he said he would never work in the coal mines and became an engineer and was very successful. His heart is still in the country, his sister lives there. He has a wonderful Appalachian accent and told me his senior high teacher told his class that they would be made fun of and seen as not as smart as other people. He took that to heart and used it to work for him. He is currently writing a book about his life there. It is a very powerful story.
