Remembering UBB, Protecting the Country's Waterways and the Song of the Week

Listen

Four years after 29 miners were killed in an explosion at a Raleigh County mine, Upper Big Branch miners’ family members and friends discuss what it takes to change a culture focused on production to one with an emphasis on safety. Sen. Joe Manchin’s Chemical Safety and Drinking Water Protection Act unanimously passes its first stop on a long road on Capitol Hill, and Todd Snider performs “Stomp and Holler” on the Mountain Stage Song of the Week.
