On this West Virginia Week, screening for black lung disease is back on – after a pause. Also, Bernie Sanders brings his Fighting Oligarcy Tour to West Virginia. The West Virginia State Fair celebrates its 100th season – we’ll meet a man who’s played a part in most of them. And, some old-time music for you – with a distinctly West Virginia sound.

Maria Young 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, Maria Young and Randy Yohe.
