The Appalachian Podcast

On this special episode we were set up at the Franklin County Board of Supervisors Meeting for reaction to their recent moves that have the entire community in an uproar. We sat up to get feedback from the public, ask questions, and try to educate folks on some matters. We were joined by Mayor Holland Perdue of Rocky Mount, Jeremiah Deborde from Passel Hills Farm, and others for the anticipated event. http://www.patreon.com/getontaphttps://www.appalachianpodcast.orghttps://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcasthttps://twitter.com/GetOnTaphttps://www.instagram.com/theappalachianpodcast/https://beinglibertarian.comhttps://www.facebook.com/HollandPerduehttps://www.facebook.com/passelhillshttps://www.facebook.com/harwellgriceSupport the show

This show we were joined by Director (Battleground Melbourne) and Author (Good People Break Bad Laws) Topher Field, along with Adrian [redacted] for one of the BEST shows we've ever recorded. Topher is an award winning film director who made a big name during the lockdowns, by standing up against the Covid Regime in his home country of Australia, and we jumped into all that along with talk of Appalachia, overreach, and a lot of fun in between. http://www.patreon.com/getontaphttps://www.appalachianpodcast.orghttps://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcasthttps://twitter.com/GetOnTaphttps://www.instagram.com/theappalachianpodcast/https://beinglibertarian.comhttps://www.libertycon.com/https://www.topherfield.net/https://twitter.com/TopherFieldhttps://twitter.com/theaussiewirehttps://www.crawfordandpower.com/https://www.facebook.com/harwellgriceSupport the show

Jaiden Rodriguez drew national attention in 2023 when he became known as "Based Backpack Kid" after he was removed from class in Colorado over a Gadsden flag patch on his backpack. At the time, and since then, he has become a huge advocate for free speech while touring the country, and meeting some of the biggest names in the conservative/liberty movement. On this show we were joined by Chip Slate (Being Libertarian) to talk to Jaiden about his journey, what he's learned, what's next, and much more. http://www.patreon.com/getontaphttps://www.appalachianpodcast.orghttps://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcasthttps://twitter.com/GetOnTaphttps://www.instagram.com/theappalachianpodcast/https://beinglibertarian.comhttps://www.libertycon.com/https://twitter.com/BasedBackpacBoyhttps://www.instagram.com/basedbackpackboy/https://www.crawfordandpower.com/https://www.facebook.com/harwellgriceSupport the show

On this very special show we were back at 5 Points Music Sanctuary, this time with rising musician Colby T Helms, as he was preparing for his show with the incredible Larry Keel.

We discussed some of his recent acts, the honorable side of music, the importance of playing at a venue like 5 Points, his new album, and an upcoming release party.

This was part 2 of our phenomenal night on the mountain, and offered quite a different conversation. We were once again joined by Jake Crawford and Ethan Power, along with drummer TK Wimmer and manager Shaun Greer, plus FloydFest founder Kris Hodges, failed musician Josh Grace, and hype man Ric Reeves. The conversation was one hell of an insight into the music world, behind the scenes, motivations, festivals, and much more.
