Inside Appalachia producer Bill Lynch caught up with Scafidi to talk poetry and working with your hands.
Also, state lawmakers have taken an important step to funding the state’s emergency medical services. And, the Trump administration announced it would roll back a rule on power plant emissions of mercury – a neurotoxin that impairs cognitive development in young children.
