The Appalachian Podcast

This episode we welcomed journalist (Winston Cup Scene), author (NASCAR's Greatest Race: The 1992 Hooters 500, Dale vs Daytona, Second to None) and podcast host  (The Scene Vault Podcast) Rick Houston , and it was an amazing conversation with a man who has covered the biggest names, and events, in racing. We discussed his writing for Winston Cup Scene, his work with Dirty Mo Media, the interesting guests he's had on his show, getting the ball rolling, the ups, downs, and everything in between. If you haven't checked out his Podcast you can find it on Apple or Spotify, and check them out on twitter and Facebook for updates.https://www.appalachianpodcast.orghttps://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcasthttps://twitter.com/GetOnTaphttps://www.facebook.com/thescenevaulthttps://twitter.com/TheSceneVaulthttps://www.facebook.com/harwellgriceMusic: The Harwell Grice BandSupport the show

For our 50th Episode we were fortunate enough to have on Tyler Godsey, Director of 5 Points Music Sanctuary, and it couldn't have worked out better for this special occasion. It's difficult to put into words how powerful this show was, because Tyler articulated it in a way that is hard to express through text. Ironically enough Tyler, and his children, faced hearing loss issues which makes his passion for sound and music that much more amazing.We dove into that, as well as the history of the building, why he choose to turn it into a music venue, music therapy, working for the community, and so much more. If you ever listen to a show, make it this one!https://www.appalachianpodcast.orghttps://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcasthttps://twitter.com/GetOnTaphttps://www.facebook.com/5pointsmusichttps://www.5pointsmusic.comhttps://www.facebook.com/harwellgriceMusic: The Harwell Grice BandPhoto: Cloud Bobby ProductionsSupport the show
