On this West Virginia Morning, the spread of bird flu brings risks to wildlife, pets and even people, especially farm workers and hunters. Pittsburgh-based environmental public radio program The Allegheny Front brings us their latest story on the virus.
Plus, almost everybody has heard of the Mothman, West Virginia’s best known cryptid. But the state has plenty of others, including Veggie Man. Veggie Man helped inspire an upcoming Zine from the Frank and Jane Gabor West Virginia Folklife Center at Fairmont State University. Bill Lynch spoke with the center’s director, Lydia Warren, about Veggie man and the zine.
