On this West Virginia Week, we’ll look back at an explosion at a fracking site. We’ll talk about a couple different things happening in the courts this past week, including a mistrial. And we’ll hear some good news about the decline in overdoses in the state.

We’ll also hear from a fire safety expert about how to stay safe during the holidays. And we’ll find out what state lawmakers learned from an investigation in the foster care crisis in the state.

Briana Heaney is our host this week. Our theme music is by Matt Jackfert.
