It gets real Appalachian today on Fawkes and Friends, when Black Guy Fawkes and his decidedly-not-a-professional-musician sidekick talk to Ol Whitetail. While her roots are in western Pennsylvania, she’s lived and done music all over the oldest mountain range on the continent–Nashville, Canada, and Pittsburgh. She talks about her influences, her travels, and the importance of mass transit options for both access to spaces and for it’s mental health benefits.

For more Ol Whitetail, you can find her music on all streaming services (including our very own guest playlist on Spotify), and can purchase her music or her poetry collection through her Bandcamp page: Music | Ol' Whitetail (bandcamp.com)

For more Black Guy Fawkes, check out https://blackguyfawkes.com/ or https://asbestosrecords.bigcartel.com/. He’s also on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, etc as Black Guy Fawkes–spelling is extremely important here and, not surprisingly, he’s on music streaming services as well: Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon. You can probably find Ed drinking in a karaoke bar or in the crowd at a punk show. The show also now has a playlist of music from guests that have appeared, and guests who will be appearing, and you can check that out on Spotify as well: Fawkes & Friends: The Playlist - playlist by Ian Robinson | Spotify
