In this emotional, eye-opening episode, J.D. sits down with two deeply compassionate women who have made it their life’s work to care for people at the end of theirs. This week, we’re talking about hospice—what it is, what it isn’t, and why it just might be the closest thing to angels on earth.

Kelly McFarland is the Education Coordinator at HospiceCare in Kanawha County, and Michelle Cook with Amedisys Hospice brings decades of experience across multiple roles—plus, she’s proudly from MACKdowell County! Shoutout.

Together, we talk through the full process of hospice care: how patients enter, how families cope, what services are offered, and the humanity that underpins it all. We also clear up some of the most common misconceptions. This isn’t just about death—it’s about dignity, love, and what it means to help someone leave this world with grace.

It’s raw, it’s honest, and it might just change the way you view the final chapter of life.

In this brutally honest episode, J.D. sits down with three seasoned professionals in emergency medical services to talk about a crisis most folks aren’t even aware of — rural EMS systems in West Virginia are on life support, or are they?

Nick Lawrence, in an operations role at STAT Ambulance Service, joins us alongside longtime EMS legend Jonathan Cresong — a man with more certifications than a NASCAR driver’s jumpsuit — and his son, Tyler Cresong, who’s following closely in his father’s footsteps.

We talk about what it’s really like working in the field, the mental toll it takes, and the heartbreak of watching communities lose critical life-saving infrastructure. But we also talk solutions — from funding to policy to rethinking how rural EMS is delivered before it disappears entirely.

This is an Appalachian crisis. And it needs attention.

In this beautiful and eye-opening episode, J.D. sits down with death doula Tracy Seffers to talk about what it really means to walk with people through the end of life. From the emotional to the spiritual to the downright practical, Tracy pulls back the curtain on a process we all will face—but few of us are ready to talk about.

Tracy shares what brought her to this sacred calling, the misconceptions people have about death doulas, and how communities can reclaim the dying process with dignity, love, and presence. A deeply moving conversation filled with truth, tenderness, and clarity.

Watch the full episode to hear what it’s really like to be a death doula—and why death isn’t the end of the story.

In this deep-dive Tin Foil Hat Show episode, J.D. sits down with fellow Appalachian truth-seeker Tom Riser to unravel the entire lore of the Mothman — one of the most iconic and mystifying figures in American cryptid history.

From the original sightings in Point Pleasant, West Virginia in 1966 to the collapse of the Silver Bridge, from Men in Black encounters to recent reappearances, this episode covers it all. We explore Mothman's possible origins, its connections to UFO activity, prophetic visions, and the long-standing psychological and cultural impact on the people of Appalachia.

This isn’t just about winged creatures and glowing red eyes—it’s about fear, prophecy, folklore, and power. Whether you're a skeptic, believer, or just a fan of Appalachian legends, this one’s for you.

Put on your tin foil hat, because it’s about to get really weird in the hollers.

In this important episode of Creepalachia, JD sits down with Dr. David Shimm, a physician with one of the most impressive educational backgrounds in medicine—Harvard undergrad, Duke-trained internist and hematologist, and radiology resident at Massachusetts General Hospital. Together, they discuss one of the most pressing and under-reported health issues in the region: cancer in Appalachia.

Dr. Shimm offers medical insight into why cancer rates are so devastatingly high across Appalachia, from environmental exposures and poor access to care, to lifestyle risks and broken healthcare systems. But this isn’t just a medical lecture—it’s an honest conversation about how poverty, geography, and policy collide to create a public health crisis. If you’ve lost someone to cancer in rural America—or just want to understand why it hits harder here—this episode is for you.

In this revealing episode, Randy Ferrill sits down with J.D. to share how an innocent hobby—playing digital card games—turned into a devastating financial spiral. Over the course of one year, Randy lost nearly $20,000, not at a casino or a racetrack, but through microtransactions in solitaire and other mobile games.

We break down how these seemingly harmless apps exploit behavioral psychology to trap users in spending loops, and how companies blur the lines between gaming and gambling. Plus, we open the floor to a broader conversation on sports betting, cryptocurrency speculation, and the growing crisis of digital gambling culture in Appalachia and beyond.

In this gripping episode of Creepalachia, J.D. sits down with two powerful voices in one of the most disturbing stories coming out of eastern Kentucky: Elizabeth from the YouTube channel Hillbilly Crime, and Tya Adams, a survivor with a voice the system tried to silence.

Elizabeth has been on the front lines of independent reporting around the shocking murder of Judge Kevin Mullins, allegedly carried out by former Sheriff Mickey Stines. With hundreds of hours of research and interviews under her belt, she brings her experience of covering this case from the beginning.

But the story goes far deeper than just the murder. Tya Adams steps forward to detail a disturbing pattern of abuse that allegedly involved coerced sex parties organized by Mullins himself. Her claims suggest that vulnerable women—those young, poor, or trapped in the justice system—were preyed upon in a county where power wasn’t just corrupt… it was weaponized.

This isn’t just an interview—it’s a reckoning.

In this heartfelt and wide-ranging episode, J.D. sits down with southern West Virginia’s own Matt Deal, a singer-songwriter whose haunting lyrics explore themes of life, death, depression, and the raw beauty of struggle. He performs several original songs live, opening a window into the pain and poetry of Appalachian living.

We also veer into lighter territory with behind-the-scenes tales from "The Mothman Prophets", Creepalachia’s upcoming narrative film project where Matt plays a pivotal role. From porch jam sessions to late-night set stories, this episode blends the grit of a songwriter’s journey with the thrill of cryptid storytelling.
