On this West Virginia Morning, we debunk treatments for the common itchy rash that comes from poison ivy. For Inside Appalachia, Folkways reporter Wendy Welch spoke with two health professionals about where folk cures and mainstream medicine for the affliction overlap.
We also bring you part of a premiere broadcast of Mountain Stage, recorded on the campus of George Mason University at the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas, Va. From that performance, slide guitar star Cristina Vane’s “Make Myself Me Again” is our newest Song of the Week.
