Listen in as StoryTown Radio Show hosts its annual “Salute to Veterans” performance! Featured stories come from local men and women who served in the Armed Forces. Stories include a reluctant optometrist who served his country one pair of glasses at a time, a Marine on the front lines of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and a member of the Special Forces who showed his former teachers what he was capable of. The cast will be joined by the town’s very own Jonesborough Novelty Band!

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.
