Chuck and Callie discuss a recent article in Belt about queer Appalachian witches, and how they're building a beautiful and supportive community, and the absurd backlash they received on Twitter after posting about the article.
(Full disclosure: we're obviously not witches and we talked about this to the best of our ability as people without personal knowledge. If you're a queer appalachian witch, you're more than welcome on our show and we'd love to hear from you and learn more!)
