It feels good to be back in touch with WMMT and Appalshop. My wife & I visited Whitesburg for the first time last summer and while there we spoke with my son's friend, Derek. You all are a busy bunch of people! And, what an education in film & sound work. I love your music. We don't get this good of a variety in Louisville. You folks at Appalshop keep up the good work & we'll keep listening.

Hey everyone ~ Lil' Debbie wants you to know that this week on the Hayride you all are invited to call in with a request for your favorite Christmas Song! Be it Bluegrass, Bluegrass Gospel, or even a little bit of Country Christmas, call it in, Debbie wants to know what your favorite Christmas Song is.

And - if you have a loved one serving overseas - call in with your special holiday greeting and Debbie will send them out over the airwaves! Please do remember those brave guys and gals over there this special time of year! We love you guys and gals and appreciate you all!

WMMT's BIRTHDAY STORY!

After an arduous journey, the Appalshop, convinced that its mission to let mountain people speak for themselves should be expanded, brought to the airwaves of central Appalachia an incredible new voice, 88.7 WMMT-FM.

On Mountain Talk this evening at 7:00 we will step past the debate about whether global warming is real or not and simply ask the question - If it is real what does that mean for Kentucky, our energy policy, and our economy? Join the discussion call 1 888 396-1208!

The conversation about climate change has gone from a debate about whether it is fact or fiction to a global dialogue about what can be done to address it. In the coalfields, the conversation is also being incorporated into discussions about economic conversion. Communities in located in coal producing areas are beginning to examine the prospects for economies not based on extractive industries like coal and natural gas. Recently a regional alliance of citizen groups came together to talk about coalfield community economic conversion. The guest speaker was Dr. Lloyd Jeff Dumas, professor of economics and political economy at The University of Texas at Dallas. Visit the Community Correspondent Corps to listen to this story.
