Send us a textCome along with us, your hosts Erin and Heather, as we learn about the Appalachian region of the United States - its food traditions and so much more - with our special guest Amy Clark, host of the Talking Appalachian Podcast. We're so excited to bring this episode to you! If you love learning about people, their culture and society, language and food traditions, you're in for a treat. Amy Clark is a Professor of Communication Studies and Director of the Center for Appalachian Studies at the University of Virginia's College at Wise. Her podcast, Talking Appalachian, is based on her 2013 co-edited book Talking Appalachian: Voice, Identity, and Community. In this episode you'll get a little teaser for just a few of the types of things you'll learn if you tune in to Amy's podcast. We talk about the dialect of the Appalachian region, the history, and the stereotypes in popular culture. And of course, we cook some classic Appalachian food: soup beans, corn bread and killed lettuce. The recipes are on our blog, as always, and the links are at the bottom of these notes. It's all easy, inexpensive and nutritious and we know you'll want to add it to your meal rotation.    We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.
