What did you think of this episode?
This episode is bound to stir up a hornet's nest, because I'm getting into that controversy over the vowel in the middle of our region's name. But first, some history. How did Appalachia get its name? And why do some people pronounce it differently? I put that question to the Talking Appalachian Facebook community and got an earful, so tune in for what I've concluded after all the dust settled.
