Gena and I have been bringing you the MountainLore podcast since May, 2018. During that time, we’ve told hundreds of authentic Appalachian folktales and Jack tales and a handful of original stories.
Six years is the same as a century in the podcast world. During that time there have been millions of podcasts started around the world and millions that have shut down.
It’s now our turn to say goodbye.
It has become harder and harder to find new stories to tell you. In addition, starting in late 2019 and continuing through the Covid lockdown, here was a surge in new podcasts, many based right here in Appalachia, who do what we’ve been doing, but much, much better than we can. (Hats off to Old Gods of Appalachia, started at the end of 2019 and the best and most popular Appalachia folklore/scary story podcast out there!)
I’ll be taking any future stories we do over to the Stories of Appalachia podcast, which I co-host with Rod Mullins. Gena will come along as needed to provide voices, too.
Thank you all for listening to our tales from Appalachia over the years…y’all are much appreciated by both of us.
