In December, West Virginia University art professor Joseph Lupo tagged Inside Appalachia in an Instagram post that showcased four-color reductive relief prints made by WVU students — each one inspired by a story or episode they heard on the show. Inside Appalachia host Mason Adams spoke with three of Lupo’s students and asked them to describe their work and its connection to the show.
National Bubble Bath Day was this past week (yes, that’s a thing), but why not keep the relaxation celebration alive this weekend by unwinding, lighting some candles and listening to some smooth music provided by “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.
Tune in this Saturday January 10 and Sunday January 11 for music that’s sure to please on “Mountain Stage After Midnight.”
First up is a May 2008 show featuring Canadian folk crooner Brooke Miller, Dublin singer-songwriter Paddy Casey, indie rocker (and Band of Horses guitarist) Tyler Ramsey, Irish alternative pop group Bell X1 and the prog-grass string band Punch Brothers (who are releasing a new record later this month).

On this West Virginia Week, seven mining operations are to close, the state Senate votes to ban abortion medication by mail, and Gov. Patrick Morrisey presses for tax cuts.
This week on Inside Appalachia, we talk with East Tennessee’s Amythyst Kiah. Her new album contemplates the cosmos. Also, hair salons are important gathering places where Black women can find community. And, West Virginia poet Torli Bush uses story to tackle tough subjects.
Acclaimed singer-songwriter Amythyst Kiah released "Still + Bright" last year, which featured guests like S.G. Goodman and Billy Strings. Inside Appalachia host Mason Adams spoke with Kiah from her home in Johnson City, Tennessee at that time. We listen to an encore of that conversation.
