  • Appalachia-Apalachee-Appalachian Trail

    Appalachia. To some it is a place of beauty and wonder,that they like to visit.To others it is a wealth of history and knowledge of days gone by. But to us, it is the place we call home. Each individual will have a different story, as with anywhere else, but the Appalachian region is very unique, and unlike any other in the world. We have a history that predates the United States by at least a couple of hundred years and traditions that we hope will last an eternity.The Appalachian Imagination podcast is designed to give you, the listener, a look inside Appalachia, through the stories of our people. Be sure to explore all of the previous episodes and hear some wonderful stories.

    We thank God for the opportunity to help preserve our rich history.

    We thank all of our sponsors.

    We thank you who take the time to listen and share.

  • SPRING TIME!
    Include are segments from last year’s Spring episode. It is still my favorite time of year and I’m sure will continue to be. I encourage everyone to make the best of every day and get outside if you are able to do so. If you don’t have enough property to plant a garden,you can grow a lot of food in flower pots. Though it may seem small at first,the reward of eating something that you have grown will still be great.
