from Stories of Appalachia · host Steve Gilly, Rod Mullins

Back in the 1920's A. P. Carter scoured the Appalachian countryside looking for songs the Carter Family could perform. Along with him was a young black musician from Kingsport who was instrumental in finding many of those songs in the area's African-American community. Today we tell his story. The Stories podcast is available for download, for free, from many podcast apps, including Stitcher, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, RadioPublic, and more.
