Mountain Talk Monday Every Tuesday!

In this episode we’re learning about a new App developed right here in Letcher County, KY that launches this week in conjunction with Jenkins Homecoming Days. The app, Jenkins: A City Built on Coal, is a virtually guided walking and driving tour. Users are guided on the tour by oral history recordings of nine local residents who share memories of 14 different locations throughout the town. We'll hear from Appalshop based Project Director Elizabeth Barret and Archivist Caroline Rubens, and excerpts from the interviews with nine past and present residents of Jenkins - recorded and edited by Benny Becker.
