Smarticle - In the Holler: Stories from America's Forgotten Communities
Manage episode 423002708 series 3354317
Today we talk about the complex and often misunderstood struggles of rural America, particularly focusing on Appalachia. We discuss a powerful article from Time Magazine titled 'The Demonization of Rural America,' written by Bobby Cohn, which highlights the deep-rooted classism faced by these communities. Through personal anecdotes and in-depth analysis, the hosts explore the socio-economic challenges, cultural stereotypes, and the impact of the opioid crisis on these regions. We also debate the necessity of access to the internet and the importance of raising awareness about marginalized communities in the United States.
