The Podcast

An Audio Companion to the Research

This is not a typical history podcast. The Appalachian Historical Review covers the full, unfiltered scope of Appalachian life. The goal is to move beyond basic names and dates and into the actual grit of the mountains, from complex social traditions and unique folklore to the specific survival strategies our ancestors used to navigate this terrain.

Each episode digs into the specific records that genealogists actually use. Beyond the basic census, 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 are covering it.
