Literacy Via Dungeons & Dragons And Our Song Of The Week, This West Virginia Morning


Listen Later

On this West Virginia Morning, every week for 15 years, kids have gotten together at the Roanoke Public Library to play Dungeons and Dragons, a roleplaying game that allows players to work together to battle monsters and hunt for treasure. Inside Appalachia’s Mason Adams visited youth services librarian Jeffrey Wood and spoke with him about the longevity of this game at the library.

And our Song of the Week is the cult classic, "I Put A Spell On You." Originally recorded in 1956 by “Screamin’ Jay” Hawkins and famously interpreted by Nina Simone, we hear Welsh vocalist Judith Owen perform it this week.
