On this West Virginia Week, the body of a missing miner was recovered, guaranteed median income comes to Mercer County, and with Halloween over and Thanksgiving a few weeks away, what can you do with those leftover pumpkins?
Our Song of the Week comes from acclaimed Nashville singer and songwriter Kim Richey, along with her band and San Francisco’s Chuck Prophet, who was a guest on this episode and also appears on Richey’s new album “Edgeland.” Here’s their duet, “Whistle On Occasion.”
We also shot a video of Kim and Chuck performing “Whistle On Occasion” on location at the state capitol grounds in Charleston, WV. You can see the video below via VuHaus.com.

This week's premiere broadcast of Mountain Stage was recorded live at the Canady Creative Arts Center on the campus of West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV. Host Kathy Mattea welcomed SHADOWLANDS feat. S. Carey and John Raymond, Tae & The Neighborly, Damn Tall Buildings, Erin McKeown, and Ken Yates.
We have a conversation with Marshall University's Turning Point USA chapter president. We also learn about a recently released horror film shot near Huntington, and the population decline in central Appalachia that may be getting worse.
