In this show we were once again joined by our friend Smokey The Appalachistani, along with his buddy BR Revolution, for a show like no other. We were nestled in the hollers of Floyd County, Virginia, with chickens and live fire, but managed to come away with one hell of a show. We talked about what is affecting our region, some national issues, community, England, and more! https://www.patreon.com/GetOnTaphttps://www.appalachianpodcast.orghttps://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcasthttps://twitter.com/GetOnTaphttps://www.facebook.com/harwellgricehttps://www.facebook.com/Blackwaterbuildinghttps://twitter.com/BRhatesFedshttps://twitter.com/Appalachistaniphoto by Photography by Beth Prestonhttps://www.facebook.com/photographybybethprestonSupport the show

We're back at it with Buddy Hancock of Rocky Mount Smokehouse (or Buddy's BBQ as many would have it) and we had one hell of a conversation. It's been a while, as Buddy was one of our first 10 guests, but much as conspired since then. His restaurant has worked through a name change, more expansion, major events featuring celebrities, and more, but that's just part of it. We also dove into the importance of community, how sticking together can benefit us all, and a good time can be had right here in our corner of Appalachia. Enjoy!http://www.patreon.com/getontaphttps://www.appalachianpodcast.orghttps://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcasthttps://twitter.com/GetOnTaphttps://www.instagram.com/theappalachianpodcast/https://www.facebook.com/rockymountsmokehousehttps://rockymountsmokehouse.com/Support the show

This show was one of our best conversations in a while, as we welcomed William Moran who told his fascinating story. From growing up near Christiansburg, to his time as an Airborne Infantryman, law enforcement, and finally his voyage into the world of hiking. He tells us his story of completing the entire Appalachian Trail, his motivations, signs that guided him, other trails, friends he's met, and more. This is one you don't want to miss.http://www.patreon.com/getontaphttps://www.appalachianpodcast.orghttps://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcasthttps://twitter.com/GetOnTaphttps://www.instagram.com/theappalachianpodcast/Support the show

On this show we sat down with Mike ter Maat, former White House Economist, who is seeking the nomination for President in the Libertarian Party. We had a really good conversation on this one, honestly one of our best political talks to date. He's certainly not your cookie cutter, prepared answers, stuffy kind of person seeking political office. He is sharp, knowledgable, and has a solid resume in economics, education, and law enforcement. Check this one out for a solid perspective on ways to fix some serious issues. http://www.patreon.com/getontaphttps://www.appalachianpodcast.orghttps://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcasthttps://twitter.com/GetOnTaphttps://www.instagram.com/theappalachianpodcast/https://twitter.com/terMaatMikeSupport the show

On this show we were joined by author, and Franklin County Native, Phillip Gibbs to discuss his book "Murder and Mountain Justice in the Moonshine Capital. We also discussed some of his travels, his path to the book, growing up in Appalachia, Andrew Jackson duel, his connection to some of the crime that occurred over the years, and much much more. The book is amazing, and the show was great, so give it a listen.http://www.patreon.com/getontaphttps://www.appalachianpodcast.orghttps://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcasthttps://twitter.com/GetOnTaphttps://www.instagram.com/theappalachianpodcast/Support the show

Well we tried....again, with Caleb, and got a little ways longer into this one. We were on location at the Annual 4th of July "2nd Place Party" where we hunkered down and got a show done. There was a lot of alcohol involved, but a decent conversation on Liberty, Freedom, Voting, and more. We had a lot of fun, and hope you all enjoyed your Independence Day Weekend!http://www.patreon.com/getontaphttps://www.appalachianpodcast.orghttps://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcasthttps://twitter.com/GetOnTaphttps://www.instagram.com/theappalachianpodcast/https://www.facebook.com/harwellgricehttps://www.facebook.com/coreyhunleymusic?mibextid=LQQJ4dSupport the show
