Hello folks!

This week we're looking at the role sports, especially high school football, has played in knitting Appalachian communities together over the years, as we share some of our memories of long ago high school days.

Then we talk about local dirt racing and NASCAR and how that has also become part of our culture and identity as Appalachians.

You can subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Play or on your favorite podcast app.

We're on Twitter @myappalachia, and on the web at www.myappalachia.net.

Thanks for listening!
