America's Awesome Kids
West Virginia’s children ages 8-10 have the opportunity to “tell their stories” as part of the America’s Awesome Kids project. A partnership between WVPB and WGBH in Boston.
This week, the federal government has taken back millions of dollars set aside for public radio stations. Allegheny Mountain Radio is among those fighting to stay on the air. Also, a book by a West Virginia artist illustrates the tiny worlds of mountain critters, like a lizard that changes color. And, geocaching gets folks outside to play detective and find hidden treasures.

We revisit our Anniversary show from 2018 this week with Amy Ray Band, Crash Test Dummies and more.
Singer and songwriter Amy Ray has been a member of beloved folk-duo Indigo Girls for over 30 years, and has released several albums over her own material since 2001. She brings her band and songs from her latest release, Holler, to this week’s broadcast of Mountain Stage, including our Song of the Week, “Sure Feels Good Anyway.”
Also joining in the celebration are alt-rock darlings Crash Test Dummies, who reunited for the 25th anniversary of their landmark album “God Shuffled His Feet.” You’ll also hear Oklahoma roots-rocker Parker Millsap with a gripping solo performance, plus songwriter and recent-Broadway playwright Anais Mitchell and West Virginia’s own power pop journeyman William Matheny.
On this week's premiere broadcast of Mountain Stage, host Kathy Mattea welcomes Shemekia Copeland, Tab Benoit, Charlie Musselwhite, Harlem Gospel Travelers, and Abby Posner to the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, WV.
This week’s special archive episode of Mountain Stage with host Kathy Mattea features performances from Bahamas, Sam Weber, Lilly Hiatt, Kishi Bashi, and Curtis McMurtry.
