The Director's Cut podcast shares stories that did not make the final cut for the live version of the StoryTown Radio Show. They're still great stories, though, and deserve to be shared. This story was submitted by Laurie Herlich for the "Salute to Veterans" episode in June of 2024. "Love and the Taxicab Driver" shares a true love story and a true story of service to one's country. We thank Laurie for this story about her parents and her father for his service.

In this month's Voices from the Archive, we hear from The Clinch Mountain Girls. These five women came to Tennessee back in the ‘70s, many of them inspired by the Back to the Land movement. They set out on a bit of a quest, with a particular kind of work at the end of their path, and it wouldn’t be easy. They would eventually raise their own food. Some of them would build cabins from wood they harvested. They are good friends to this day. Part 1 is about this quest toward Clinch Mountain, about what drew them to Tennessee farmland, and about getting there.
More stories of these women and nineteen others can be found in "Clinch Mountain Girls," an oral history written by Nancy Withington Bell, one of the interviewees for this story.

From ghost stories to apple butter, you could learn just about anything from the people living here in East Tennessee. Listen in as they tell the stories of their lives here in Appalachia.

In this month's Voices from the Archive, we hear from Rose Marie Shields, a longtime teacher. If you talk to her students, they’ll tell you that anybody would be lucky to be in class with her. That she has shaped them in ways that are still with them today. And today, we get to have class with Mrs. Shields. In today’s class with Mrs. Shields we’ll shoot for four lessons, including, I think, the best thing we can learn.

In this month's Voices from the Archive, we hear from Jodi Jones about a summertime endeavor. She had been spending her mornings swimming in Watauga Lake with friends when she had an idea. A person could swim the length of the lake. That's a twelve and a half mile swim. This story takes you into the water as Jodi swims around obstacles and toward dry land, one mile at a time.
