This is one of my podcast favorites. Both because @kdwinchester.bsky.social is a good friend and because I love how she promotes Appalachian stories and poetry. And this episode with @noahsoltau.bsky.social of @redbranchreview.bsky.social was especially enjoyable!

From South Arts: that they terminated ArtsHERE, one of the most substantial nonmatching grants I've ever seen. Millions of dollars stripped from orgs who were already depending on it.
Call your reps & tell them to restore the (broad bipartisan!) commitment to funding the NEA in next year’s budget.

My dad and I are very similar in a lot of ways, but we struggle to find common interests to talk about. So here is an ongoing list of random topics I’ve brought up and their success rate.
