About Unplugged
From the publisher's feed
Unplugged features topics and stories from one of America’s leading electric cooperatives, Blue Ridge Energy.
Electric cooperatives share a unique history that is etched into the framework of rural American life. Founded decades ago on a principle of bringing electricity to rural Americans left in the dark, electric cooperatives have become a beacon for economic growth and innovation in the less populated pockets of the United States.
On Unplugged, host Jacob Puckett, interviews guests on a wide range of topics and issues facing rural Americans that are served by electric cooperatives.
