Celebrate the new semester with the latest edition of the StoryTown Radio Show. This month’s show is all about the “Old College Try: Higher Education Stories.” From dorm life to late night study sessions, and Greek tragedy readings that lead to the cops being called, StoryTown has a bunch of new stories to share. Joining the cast this month are the Flying J’s. This local band blends classic country tunes with a lot of humor. We also have storyteller Andy Offutt Irwin with us. This episode was sponsored by Mauk's of Jonesborough.

Real stories, real people. This storytelling program is filled with true-life adventures of people past and present from Jonesborough, Tennessee, and the surrounding Southern Appalachian Region. Each program presents stories built around a common theme. All of these stories, which are collected from the hills and hollers, and sometimes up in the Mountains of East Tennessee, are scripted into a show that explores the culture, heritage, and history of these diverse voices. Home to the town of the first Abolitionist Newspaper in the Country. Home to the state that made Women’s Suffrage a reality. Home to Warner Institute, training Freedmen and Women as teachers beginning less than a decade after the end of the Civil War. Surprising, heartwarming, and often hilarious stories of the independent East Tennessee people come to life in this podcast with a voice and accent that can be found nowhere else.
