In this episode Neil and Will sit down with Dee Davis - President of the Center for Rural Strategies, former Executive Director of Appalshop and prolific storyteller. The majority of his career has been built on utilizing different forms of media to build more prosperous communities. Dee describes how media has changed throughout his career and how important local news is to a rural community. Take a listen as he speaks to the historical media portrayal of the Appalachia region and how some of those stereotypes have evolved. You might even hear about a unique, but legendary starting five and how it went when Neil set the sky of fire. Also, don't forget about the the #AppBiz of the week: The Mountain Eagle!
