The People, Process, and Progress of the New River Valley

People, Process, Progress explores the lessons we learn from the people and places that shape our lives. Hosted by Kevin Pannell, a transplant who has grown to love the New River Valley and Appalachia, the show blends personal reflections with conversations from people across the region and beyond.

Each episode follows a simple rhythm
People: the stories and experiences that mattered
Process: what helped them move through challenge
Progress: what changed and what others can learn from it

You will hear from first responders, small business owners, athletes, parents, veterans, teachers, and everyday neighbors. Some episodes share Kevin’s reflections from the mountains, the mats, or the moments that tested him. Others feature guests who talk about the lessons life handed them and the steady growth that followed.

Real people, honest stories, clear takeaways.
Progress made one steady lesson at a time.
