On this West Virginia Week, some folks can’t help but dance when they hear traditional old-time fiddle and banjo tunes. We hear from a few seasoned flatfooters about keeping their tradition alive.

Also, in this episode, we will dive deeper into the challenges surrounding the implementation of a new law banning food dyes in schools.

Plus, we’ll hear about a rescue competition for coal miners, as well as a hobby called geocaching that is shaping tourism in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle. 

Chris Schulz is our host this week. Our theme music is by Matt Jackfert.

West Virginia Week is a web-only podcast that explores the week’s biggest news in the Mountain State. It’s produced with help from Bill Lynch, Chris Schulz, Curtis Tate, Eric Douglas, Jack Walker, Randy Yohe and Maria Young.
