On this West Virginia Week, we learn about a program to alleviate teacher shortages, splitting up the Department of Health and Human Resources along with opening up a long overdue section of the King Coal Highway. 

We’ll also bring you more in-depth stories on fish in central Appalachia and a look at the woman behind the Kanawha School Book Controversy. 

Eric Douglas is our host this week. Our theme music is by Matt Jackfert.
