On this West Virginia Morning, social media is filled with life advice from 5-minute crafts to how to live a healthier lifestyle. However, some information can be harmful or downright untrue. Briana Heaney sat down with Dietitian Gina Wood at the West Virginia University Extension to discuss navigating food and diet information on social media.
Plus, this week’s encore episode of Mountain Stage was recorded last year at the intimate Franklin Theatre in historic Franklin, Tennessee. Host Kathy Mattea welcomes some of Americana’s top artists, including Grammy Award-winning musician, singer and songwriter Jason Isbell, in a solo acoustic set.
Our Song of the Week is Isbell’s solo performance of “Strawberry Woman,” from his 2023 album Weathervanes.
