Firstly, I'm sure that many of you have been seeing the heartbreaking news coming out of eastern Kentucky over the past few days with the recent flooding. So many communities in our region have been utterly devastated by these disasters; at least 28 people are confirmed dead, and we likely won't know the full extent of the damage for some time. But people from all across the region, the state, and indeed the country, are stepping up to help relieve, rescue, and rebuild. I've posted a few links above to relief and mutual aid funds and other resources to find out how you can help the victims of these floods, and if you are able, I ask that you would consider donating to these efforts. Thank you all so very much for the support and solidarity that you all are showing eastern Kentucky. For this week's series episode, we're visiting the International Storytelling Center in Jonesborough, Tennessee. I hope you all enjoy.
