In this episode Neil and Will sit down with Dana Kuhnline, a senior program director for Reimagine Appalachia - a broad and inclusive coalition of individuals and organizations based in Appalachia. Hear from Dana as she describes what Reimagine Appalachia is all about and how there efforts are making an impact on the region. While the word "reimagine" could be taken a number of ways, she describes how the organization is thinking towards the future - a more sustainable and equitable future - while remembering the past and cultural heritage that is so strong in the region. Take a listen as she explains why she is so passionate about the region and the work she has been doing for decades. You might even hear why Neil is so down and out on this day and how he's branching out when it comes to his favorite appetizer! Also, don't forget about the #AppBiz of the week: Appalachian Arts Craft Center!
