The Appalachian Podcast

In this episode we dive right into Ferrum College Football with Head Coach Cleive Adams, and the success he is building on an athletic, and community, level. Coach Adams has roots in our part of Appalachia, and his message is a powerful one. He has a unique ability to apply life to football, and you can tell why his athletes buy into what he is bringing them by listening to his passionate love for what he does. Coach Adams is a wonderful ambassador for Ferrum, and our community as a whole, and we were thrilled to have him on. https://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcasthttps://www.facebook.com/harwellgricehttps://www.ferrumpanthers.com/sports/fball/indexhttps://www.facebook.com/FerrumFootballSupport the show

In this show we speak with Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs Captain Travis Armstrong about hockey in Appalachia. Hockey has a rich tradition in our area, from the Pittsburg Penguins, to the Johnstown Chiefs, and to the Roanoke Express, we've been a rowdy, hockey supporting region for a long time, and we were fortunate to sit down with a living, breathing, Canadian about his journey from the Great North to the Roanoke Valley. We love hockey, and are excited to support local hockey, which are fortunate to have. So give this show a listen and hear the past and future collide on the ice.https://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcasthttps://www.facebook.com/RailYardDawgshttps://www.facebook.com/harwellgricehttps://www.facebook.com/Levilowreyhttp://levilowerymusic.comSupport the show

We continue our Turn3 Series in this episode as we speak with Racer Paul Hall, fresh off his first start in the SMART Modified Tour, about what led him down the path of racing, the good life, and some future plans. We enjoyed turning this show into a community event, and stay tuned to see how our Challenge to get Paul to ACE Speedway for the Oct 23rd SMART Race goes. This was our first show recorded in front of an audience and, as always, we had a blast with this one. We hope you enjoy it.https://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcasthttps://www.facebook.com/harwellgriceSupport the show

This show was unbelievable . We set up track side, in turn 3, of the MotorMile Speedway for "The Stanley Law Group Stands With Small Business 99", and were joined by one hell of a racing lineup. We welcomed to #GetOnTAP NASCAR Hall of Fame Inductee and Winston Cup Champion, Bobby Labonte, Former Winston Cup Driver Hermie Sadler, Legendary Modified Driver Burt Myers, Virginia Senator Bill Stanley, and SMART Tour Director Chris Williams. We cracked on Bodean for driving a Tesla, talked about building our communities, bringing back local tracks, the SMART Tour success, being back in a race car, standing up for small business, and much more. This was an unforgettable Podcast!We are now streaming on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcasthttps://www.facebook.com/SMARTMODIFIEDTOUR/https://southernmodified.com/index1.phphttps://www.facebook.com/Bobby.Labonte.Official.Pagehttps://www.facebook.com/burtmyersracinghttps://www.facebook.com/vastanleylawgrouphttps://www.facebook.com/stanleyforsenateMusic Provided by:https://www.facebook.com/Levilowreyhttps://www.facebook.com/harwellgriceSupport the show

In this Episode we attempt to discuss life before, and after, 9/11/2001. With Host Billy Riddle being a combat veteran directly affected by those events, we wanted to bring on first responders and have a little round table discussion. Unfortunately one of our guests was unable to make it, so what ensued was a barrage of hilarious stories from guys who have been friends for 25+ years, with how that day changed us. This show can put a lot of things into perspective, from how fortunate we (as a communtiy) are to the mental strain still being put on front line heroes.https://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcastSpecial thanks, as always, to the Harwell-Grice Band for providing us with the music.

In this Episode we take it to a new level, on location at Smith Mountain Lake, with an inside look at the most deplorable  league of misfits this side of Appalachia. We welcomed back guest co-host Josh Grice, along with guests Adam Grindstaff, Nathan Angle, Nat Hodges, Nick Overholt, Cole Fuller, Jacob Naff, and Matt Hubbard to settle disputes and trash each other to the bitter end. We really can't put the description of this debacle into words, so just listen and laugh at stories of punishment, fist fights, and being kicked out of pretty much everywhere we go!https://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcasthttps://www.facebook.com/harwellgriceSupport the show

We out did ourselves on this episode as we welcomed CMA Nominated Artist/Songwriter Levi Lowrey and his Wife Stephanie on to The Appalachian Podcast, along with guest Kyle Forry, and guest host Josh Grice. We laughed a lot, cried a little, told great stories, heard good music, and everything else you would expect with the lineup we had.
