On this West Virginia Week, cryptids are said to live in the woods or some other dark area where they’re difficult to find. Few – if any – can be found leaping along rooftops in one of the country’s largest historic preservation districts. We’ll hear from our partners in Kentucky about the Old Louisville Demon Leaper

Inside Appalachia’s Mason Adams also brings us a conversation with Dan Parks, a journalist who writes a Substack called Country Roads News that has been covering data center development in Tucker County.
In this episode, we also hear about an early start to flu season and early voting numbers. We learn the latest about West Virginia’s school voucher program. And one of our own is inducted into the West Virginia Broadcasting Hall of Fame.
