Appodlachia #228: Haitian immigrants are NOT eating pets in Ohio
On today's episode, Chuck and Big John talk about WVU's confusing and extremely disappointing blame game about the Appalachian studies minor, discuss the bonkers racism coming out of politicians mouths about Haitian migrants in Springfield, OH, and then Chuck talks to D.J. Byrnes — the man holding Buckeye state politicians feet to the fire under the mantle of "The Rooster."
