This week on Inside Appalachia, during a pandemic, where do you give birth? Also, we’ll have the story of a family that
cultivated an heirloom tomato in West Virginia. It took a lot of work. And, a musical tradition brought people together — even when they couldn’t gather in person.
Remember, remember the 8th and 9th of November… for another revolutionary edition of “Mountain Stage After Midnight!” Broadcast from 1am-5am Saturday and Sunday mornings here on West Virginia Public Radio, “Mountain Stage After Midnight” takes the best episodes from the show’s 31 year history and shares their memories and songs with our late-night listeners. Each week we’ll hand-pick two of our favorite episodes that’ll alternate order each night.
Experience a bit of funk and a bit of rock Saturday November 8 and Sunday November on “Mountain Stage After Midnight.”
