Ep. 026: Life in Coal Country

Many people think that all of West Virginia is coal country, but that simply isn't true. Garrett joins his wife, Kimberly, on this episode of Forgotten America to discuss life in the southern coalfields, how her upbringing was different from his in the Mid-Ohio Valley, the strength of the Appalachian woman, and the future of West Virginia.   You can learn about the various regions in West Virginia and their differences in this article by West Virginia Executive Magazine. http://www.wvexecutive.com/local-challenges-unique-opportunities/  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   You can support the Cardinal Institute by donating or following us on social media:    Donate: www.cardinalinstitute.com/donate Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cardinalinstitute Newsletter: www.cardinalinstitute.com/contact YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCosCMp86mjLbf8ZWfE5yS7Q Twitter: @CardinalWV Facebook: /CardinalInstitute/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cardinal-institute-for-wv-policy/ Instagram: @teamcardinalwv
