On this West Virginia Morning, every professional sports program has a concussion protocol that dictates when a player can return to the roster. One of the two doctors who developed the program is from the Wheeling area. This weekend, UPMC Presbyterian Hospital neurosurgeon Dr. Joe Maroon is receiving an Ellis Island Medal of Honor and he spoke with News Director Eric Douglas.
And Our Song of the Week is a stirring performance of fan-favorite “Furr,” by Pacific Northwestern folk-rock outfit Blitzen Trapper making their third appearance on Mountain Stage in November 2024. This week’s broadcast of Mountain Stage features a collection of five memorable sets from five different episodes recorded in 2024.
