Home » WVPB Podcasts » Camping Ban Leads Homeless To Hide And Matt Pond PA’s Song Of The Week, This West Virginia Morning
WVPB Staff Published
On this West Virginia Morning, since a statewide camping ban went into effect in Kentucky last year, the number of homeless people has increased. A story produced for the Appalachia Mid-South Newsroom finds homeless people hide now to avoid arrest – which makes it harder to get them the services that might help.
And, this week’s Song of the Week is “Love To Get Used” by Matt Pond PA. Making his debut appearance, Matt and his band performed this bouncy song off of Spring Fools, from his eighth studio album The Dark Leaves.
West Virginia Morning is a production of West Virginia Public Broadcasting which is solely responsible for its content.
Support for our news bureaus comes from Shepherd University and Marshall University School of Journalism and Mass Communications.
West Virginia Morning is produced with help from Bill Lynch, Chris Schulz, Curtis Tate, Eric Douglas, Jack Walker, Maria Young and Randy Yohe.
Eric Douglas is our news director. Teresa Wills is our host. Maria Young produced this episode.
