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.
