Serpent handling has been a practice used by many to show their Christian faith, but it has also been stereotyped, mocked, and misunderstood in ways that often erase the people behind it. In this episode, I sit down with Pastor Chris Wolford for nearly two hours to have what may be one of the most extensive conversations about the practice, what it means to him, and why it is so personal for many others.

I sit down with YouTuber Tommy G to talk about his rise to success, what life is really like as a famous creator, and the work that goes into building something people actually want to watch. We also get into his thoughts on West Virginia after he came here to film an episode that I was lucky enough to help produce. This is a great conversation about content, storytelling, travel, and what it looks like when the internet turns into real life.

We told you we are going full Halloween this year, and there are few better ways to do that than bringing legendary Appalachian storyteller Bugs Stover back into the studio. In this episode, we talk all things spooky, from old mountain stories to the kind of folklore that has been passed down in Appalachia for generations.
