This week, ballads tell stories about all kinds of real-life events, but after Hurricane Helene, one group of ballad singers felt some topics were still too raw. Also, the author of a new book on ancient Ohio credits a former grad student with introducing him to the region’s mysterious earthworks. And, the legacy of Affrilachian poet Norman Jordan includes a summer camp for teens to study their heritage.
Polly & Nugget’s Bookshelf is a fun, interactive web-only show where Polly the Opossum and Chicken Nugget the Rooster discuss their favorite children’s books from their bookshelf. Their humorous banter will entertain and inform children of all ages.
Each episode features a “key word” that can be posted in the video’s comments, where a winner will be selected to receive the book discussed in the episode and a personalized note from the hosts themselves! Each episode will have a window of time to enter into the drawing.
