Energy Cooperatives are not only an important energy provider in smaller, more rural communities, they are a fixture in place making and community development within the communities they service. In this episode, Neil and Will sit down with Brent Jackson, the Member Relations Manager for Jackson Energy Cooperative. As an energy cooperative, it's not beholden to its shareholders but is owned by the community - more specifically, "members" of the cooperative. Find out about the principles that all cooperatives abide by and why its important for their operations and the communities they typically embed themselves in. Take a listen and hear Brent discuss the community programs Jackson Energy utilizes to drive economic development and to stay true to their mission - to improve the quality of life for its members in Southeastern Kentucky. You might even hear Neil's pick for the next Parrot Head Ambassador (I think you can probably guess who) - or hear reference to a new song called "Step On A Pop Top."

Continuing Recovery Month! In this episode Neil and Will sit down with the Director of Reentry and Employment Services Branch of the Commonwealth of Kentucky - Mr. Aaron Poynter. Led by Aaron, Kentucky’s Reentry program is getting national attention for its success and rapid adoption. From a Police Officer to Workforce Development, Aaron has built his career on the backs of Giants who have guided (or pushed) him every step of the way. Hear him describe the importance of walking alongside individuals as they take their own journey to sustainable employment. Empowerment, self-worth and purpose are all words he uses to describe the impact of employment on the development of an individual person and how it significantly reduces recidivism. You can hear the passion he has for the work and how he goes about it full tilt everyday. During recovery month, take a listen to hear what almost everyone is striving for in life - a good job and to be happy. You might even hear why Neil has a little resentment for our guest and what he thinks about pumpkin flavor ("never in May").

It's National Recovery Month! In this episode, Neil and Will sit down with Dr. Daniel Moore and Sarah Laurel, two experts on chronic hepatitis C (HCV) and the link to injection drug use. While not from the region, they speak specifically about the health effects of this in Appalachia. Leading into National Recovery Month in September, the numbers of this disease are staggering. Approximately 2.4 million Americans are living with HCV, with cases more than doubling over the past ten years with the opioid epidemic exacerbating the rise. Today, it is estimated that 50% of people who inject drugs are also living with HCV. Hear Dr. Moore and Sarah speak on the importance of education and outreach as approximately 40% of people living with it are totally unaware they have it. Take a listen as they advocate for interventions and the possibility of elimination...does that mean there is a cure? Listen and find out!

It's the most wonderful time of the year...it's football time in the Mountains! You can smell it in the air! In our annual kickoff to football episode, Neil and Will sit down with an icon in High School Mountain Football lore - Coach John Hines. In a turn of events of the past year, Coach Hines left a storied tradition he built in one small community in Appalachia to now lead another mountain community - in hopes they to can make it to the "promise land" of Kroger Field (or Commonwealth Stadium as some would say)! He'll explain why the change of scenery and what gives him motivation to keep coaching. He'll share with the guys the significance of sport on small town communities and how it just hits a little different in Appalachia. Take a listen as he goes into his own career and how, if given the chance, he would still be playing the game he still most passionately loves. If you're a fan of football, or just small town community in general, he speaks to the heart of all Appalachians - and wears "a big hat." You might even hear Neil explain why one person may be the reason for an entire sport to be "cancelled." Also, don't forget the #AppBiz of the week: Martin's (Truck Parts/Peterbilt)!

Readin, Rightin, Route 23!! THE COUNTRY MUSIC HIGHWAY! In this episode Neil and Will sit down with Kirsten Wilburn and Kristin Brown Norman of Shaping Our Appalachian Region (SOAR) to talk about the Country Music Highway - or Route 23! Kentucky's Country Music Highway has produced more stars per square mile than any stretch of roadway in the world. These two individuals are in charge of putting together a tribute show(s) that not only celebrates those stars of the past, but the future stars as well. It's important for a region to recognize and celebrate its assets and in Eastern Kentucky there are no better assets than the people. Hear Kirsten and Kristin talk about the upcoming tribute shows and why SOAR decided to put them together in the first place. It's more than just the music, however, the locations and entrepreneurial activity is just as important to highlight and support - there's "magic in them mountains," something the guys are reminded of time and time again. Take a listen to hear what The Country Music Highway is all about and why Route 23 has made and continues to make a significant impact in the region. You might even hear Neil give his take on the Top 5 Appalachian Songs and why he has decided he needs "to get out more - or add to his list."
