Unlike John Damnit Vance, they are from here!

Absolutely critical examination of the true culture of Appalachia. So important to debunk stereotypes about our region and lift up voices that may seem unexpected to people outside of the area. A must listen if you want to have your thumb on the pulse of Appalachia.

Hosts rattle off the regime-approved center-left takes like nobody’s business. The Blair Mtn miners would weep if they saw the hosts’ soft visages.

Keep on keeping on!

God-Denying, Gay Libs climb onto their soapbox and whine about whatever their Tv tells them to.

The incessant giggly girl makes it a challenge to stick with. Sounds ditsy.

A treat to listen to original content that explores issues in a thoughtful way.

A great place to listen to topics I may not hear other places.

I love this show! So informative and educational.

So informative! Great podcast

Well spoken, open minded, great content

This is an awesome podcast. A fun listen and very informational highly recommend. Cheers to the host!

Informative and fun!

One of my favorite podcasts. Great content on the essence of Appalachia.

Great podcast! So informative

I love this show. Go Callie! Keep speaking truth!

Super informative + fun! The perfect combo.

Love this Appalachia-focused political podcast. Hosts are so kind while advocating for the people of our region. An informative, fun, and humorous show! Love the new segments with listener submissions. I will never recover from Papaw Stories.

i love you guys and appreciate you. this has a lot in common with the way the gov't on the state and federal level could respond during deepwater horizon and BP. you might could look at that.

I moved away from Appalachia for a few years but never really found a place I could imagine calling home. This podcast made me realize how much I love the region and how much I want to be a part of its growth and success. I moved back a month ago and have settled into my roots. This is a seriously great podcast to learn all about the politics and culture of home!

I love listening to podcasts when I clean, grocery shop or anything very mundane. I had a few signature podcasts years ago that have faded out and have really struggled to find a podcast where every episode captures my attention. This podcast is it! I’m so lucky I found it after moving to Appalachia. I’ve lived within driving distance of the mountains my whole life but never learned in depth about the issues facing the region. I’m excited to go back and listen to all the historic episodes when I’m waiting on new ones to release. You guys rock!

Great topics, insightful and informative material. If you want stereotypical Appalachian fare, this isn’t it. Fresh. Contemporary. Real. And, rooted in the mountains we love. This is a can’t miss podcast.

This podcast has continued to make me feel connected to home after leaving Appalachia a few years ago to pursue a masters degree. I always liked growing up in WV but this podcast has helped make me PROUD to be from WV, through thick and thin. Callie and Chuck, this podcast is incredible. The information you present is so valuable with the perfect amount of humor and laughs. I even got my mom listening and she raves about it as well. Love you guys!

This podcast single handedly debunks so many Appalachian stereotypes, yet truly recreates and instills so much Appalachian culture within it. As a Appalachian history lover, this is a must listen for all modern approaches to the region.

This show is truly incredible. As a fellow Appalachian, it highlights the best parts of the region. Appalachian is a culture that many overlook because of the blanket of poverty within. I enjoyed the list in episode #146 because I’ve visited two of those places! Green Bank and Greenbrier are truly incredible visits. Thank you guys for advocating!

Appodlachia is a great podcast and is in my weekly rotation of “must listens.” As a West Virginia native who developed (or discovered?) her core beliefs as an adult after being raised extremely conservative, this podcast gives me hope that I’m not just a blue dot in a red state and that there are plenty of others just like me! Chuck and Callie, you guys are great! ♥️

I came across Appodlachia earlier this summer when I started working out and was looking for new podcasts to add to my listening rotation. As a lifelong West Virginia native who cherishes my Appalachian roots but also values progressive thinking, Chuck and Callie makes me feel so seen. I really enjoyed the podcast on Appalachian accents and dialects, having completed my MA capstone on Appalachian dialect in the college classroom, and the Silas House episode just warmed my heart. There’s something here for everyone. If you’re from the region and looking for a podcast that entertains, informs, AND educates, Appodlachia is the one for you!

As an Appalachian who now finds themself living in the Rockies, these folks do a great job of keeping me up to date on regional political happenings while also making me chuckle. Keep putting out the thoughtful and honest content!

I didn’t know I needed this podcast until I heard it. It does so much to dispel negative stereotypes about Appalachia while also celebrating the positive aspects. The hosts are knowledgeable and have a great rapport. The production values are also good, and it’s clear a lot of effort goes into each episode.

As an Appalachian college student who is studying sociology (at FSU) and is interested in not only learning the history of Appalachia and staying up to date with local news, events, and people but also local social progress—this podcast is a wonderful tool to do so! I was recommended the show by one of my professors (shout out to Dr. Angie, she was on episode #132 of the show) and I’ve been hooked ever since!

As an Appalachian ex pat, I love this podcast so much. It makes me feel connected to my home region and well informed on important issues while also keeping things light and funny. I especially love Callie, and not just because she went to App state.

The love that Chuck and Callie have towards their region totally shines through. Voices like theirs are not only refreshing, but important and needed as they are honest, but never condescending. Definitely worth a listen.

I look forward to listening to Appodlachia on my drive to work every week! This week was extra cool with the interview with Whitney, the Appalachian Forager, but every week is great!

I’ve been listening to this show for months now and I never miss an episode. As someone from rural Virginia who loves so deeply my community, it’s so refreshing to see folks from my neck of the woods actually represent the progressive values that I, and many like me, believe in. I haven’t missed an episode since March, and to see Appalachia represented in a glowing like for once genuinely feels incredibly. Also I can’t see JD Vance’s name without thinking “John dammit Vance” now. 11/10.

Episode 144: Silas House is my favorite author and this interview was wonderful. The “divinity of dogs, of trees and bodies of water” He speaks to my soul. His fears and concerns are mine. God love Silas House and his work. Thank you!!

As a native Appalachian now in the north east, I love this pod and staying connected to my home region. I’m enjoying listening to them break down stereotypes and give information about the politics in the region. Also really like the new lists at the top of the pod- keep up the great work!!!

I have very much enjoyed this podcast after discovering it a couple years back. It has helped uncover glimmers of hope for this progressive Appalachian, stay in touch while I was an ex-pat and discover new, awesome Appalachians whose work I could find a way to support. Thanks for all your hard work!

Excellent pod with great guests. My favorites have been the 5-part opioid series, bagging on JD Vance & Dr. Oz, and the interview with Silas House about loving Appalachia despite its flaws.

My husband and I are both from Appalachia (different parts of WV) and this podcast does a great job of keeping us informed. As Appalachian expats, we care about the region deeply are glad such a podcast exist to inform and make change.

This podcast is great! It’s has expanded my knowledge of Appalachian culture and issues. They are funny and obviously very passionate about what they do. I love listening!

I'm not from Appalachia nor do I currently live there but I really enjoy learning about the issues facing the region. This podcast provides a breath of fresh air considering the negative stereotypes people outside Appalachia are so fond of perpetuating.

This podcast is truly what my region needs. I look forward to every episode. ❤️

It takes a lot for me to regularly listen to podcasts and I absolutely love this one! Super engaging conversations, interesting and relevant information, and humor throughout which makes this podcast really ideal for me. Thank you, Callie and Chuck!!!

The title really says it all. Appalachia is such a misunderstood region, and it’s nice to learn more about it. Definitely recommend people listen to it.

I love this podcast. I live in northern Ohio, so not really the Appalachian region, but I love this podcast. I think it definitely helps break stereotypes about Appalachian people. I love hearing your guy’s thoughts and opinions about things that happen in the Appalachian region.

The hosts are clueless about the world around them. They take the side of whomever or whatever seems popular. In 1 episode they condemn a business person for wanting to be successful (labeled him sick and greedy) and then in another episode applaud someone for being successful in business. Both situations were nearly identical, the only thing different was the zip codes.

Love being able to listen to this regional news even though I’m not in the area anymore. Always informative, smart, funny, relevant and necessary!

This podcast is well-timed and smartly-paced. Callie & Chuck sound professional without falling into “radio drive-time” voices. Sound quality & mixing make a difference and I never have to adjust my audio when listening. Highly recommended for anyone who cares about or is curious about the people, land, politics, & culture of Appalachia.

I guess this is what a progressive voice sounds like if you are from this area. It’s more conservative lite. Keep voting the way the area votes and nothing for you will change. I wonder what the ‘best interests’ are for the locals. Unsubscribed.

Callie and Chuck have the perfect chemistry. Love the topical and thoughtful conversations, and the incredible guests/interviews. Highly recommend!
