The Podcast

An Audio Companion to the Research

The Appalachian Historical Review covers the full, unfiltered scope of Appalachian life, well past basic names and dates and into the actual grit of the mountains: complex social traditions, unique folklore, and the specific survival strategies our ancestors used to navigate this terrain.

Each episode digs into the records genealogists actually use. Past the basic census and into merchant ledgers, land grants, justice of the peace records, and tax lists that hold the real truth about how our ancestors lived. If it happened in Appalachia, we cover it.
