All American Appreciation Show- Honoring Simon Winch
This show was a little bizarre, nothing really worked how we anticipated, yet we someone managed to have one hell of a good time as we once again set up at Simons 4th of July 2nd Place Bash. Only this time we did things a little different, as we had our friends come on to show our appreciation for our newly Americanized co-host Simon Winch. Simon has been an integral part of this show, this community, and many lives, so we wanted to tell some good stories and share our fondest moments. We also had a big surprise for Simon, as we surprised him on the show with a huge gift from a generous Appalachian engineer (Matt Rife, Rife Technologies), who we hope to soon have on the show to go into greater detail about his Rife Machine. We hope you'll enjoy this one, and thank you for all your support!http://www.patreon.com/getontaphttps://www.appalachianpodcast.orghttps://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcasthttps://twitter.com/GetOnTaphttps://www.facebook.com/harwellgricehttps://www.facebook.com/crawfordandpowerhttps://twitter.com/crawfordnpowerhttps://www.crawfordandpower.comhttps://www.colbyhelms.com/https://www.photographybybethpreston.com/Support the show

We discussed the similarities between our communities, wasteful spending, and the biggest issue right now which is a landfill being proposed in their back yard that will import trash.
