On this West Virginia Morning, James Froemel’s journey into storytelling has taken a lifetime; from reciting Emily Dickinson in sixth grade to winning the Vandalia Gathering’s Liar’s Competition in West Virginia. From the latest episode of Inside Appalachia, Folkways reporter Margaret McLeod Leef spoke with Froemel about telling tales.
And our Song of the Week is “A Place Called Home” by Ohio University alum and Nashville singer-songwriter Kim Richey, from her 2002 album “Rise.”
