Rural Science Fiction And Hunger Relief, This West Virginia Morning

Black text atop an orange background reads, "West Virginia Morning, September 11, 2024, Rural Science Fiction And Hunger Relief." In the bottom right-hand corner are a West Virginia Public Broadcasting logo and a link that reads "wvpublic.org."

On this West Virginia Morning, Christopher Rowe is a nationally recognized science fiction and fantasy writer. He imagines the future not in cities or outer space, but in rural areas like the one he grew up in.

Kentucky Public Radio’s Sylvia Goodman spoke with Rowe just after he moved back to the Kentucky county where he grew up.

Plus, September is Hunger Action Month, a campaign meant to raise awareness about hunger and food insecurity in the United States.

Reporter Jack Walker talked to Chad Morrison, development director at Mountaineer Food Bank about hunger in West Virginia.
