Today, we have a special crossover episode between Appodlachia and the incredible podcast, This Guy Sucked! This Guy Sucked is a history podcast that brings on historians (and Chuck) as guests, and discuss historical figures that sucked!
We're discussing the Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency — an objectively detestable bunch of union busting thugs who terrorized workers in Appalachia during the mine wars in the early 1900s. They sucked big time.
They're available on all streaming platforms, and you can find their links via their website below.

Hello friends! We're back after a bit of a break :)
Today, we're joined by Dalton George, Mayor Pro-Tem of Boone, NC. Dalton and Chuck talk about the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and how recovery is looking in the 7 months since the storm.
(Edit: One slight factual error. It is a grey area to say that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was legally living in Maryland at the time he was illegally deported due to the fact that he entered the country illegally. He was not technically lawfully present, but he still was not able to be lawfully deported to El Salvador without a hearing and DHS proving changed circumstances).

Chuck talks with Allen Junge, Kate Anderson, and Emmi Cohen of the Activision Blizzard King (ABK) Workers Alliance about how video game workers are unionizing and organizing for a better work environment! Acivision-Blizzard is one of the largest video game publishers in the world and is the publisher for games like Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, Crash Bandicoot, and more. The ABK Workers Alliance is a group of organized workers from video game company Activision Blizzard. Formed in response to a July 2021 state lawsuit against the company for harassment and discriminatory work practices, the worker advocacy group A Better ABK organized walkouts and demonstrations against the company's policy and practices. The quality assurance workers of subsidiary Raven Software went on strike in December after part of the team was fired. The striking workers announced their union as the Game Workers Alliance in late January 2022 and offered to end the strike pending their union's recognition.

David Morris is an American singer-songwriter from Charleston, WV. David talks with Chuck and Big John about how his roots in Appalachia have influenced his music and who he is as a person. You may know him from when he put music out under the name D-WHY, from the music he's making in the present day, or maybe this is your first time listening to him. Regardless - we know you'll appreciate his passion for his small town roots, range of musical talent, dedication to his fans, and introspection on growing up in Appalachia.
