You, our dear listeners, have followed along as we've interviewed authors from a wide range of backgrounds who've written different stories set all around the globe. But recently we realized we'd never talked about a book featuring our own home region—Appalachia. In this interview, we chat with Elizabeth Catte, the author of What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia, about the history of the Appalachia, the region's role in contemporary U.S. politics, and the influence of J.D. Vance's Hillbilly Elegy.
