This documentary tells the story of pack horse librarians - women hired by the Franklin Roosevelt's Work Progress Administration (WPA) during the Great Depression to travel on horseback to deliver library books and magazines to people in Eastern Kentucky, braving creeks, mountains and inclement weather along the way. This program is funded in part by a grant from the Carolyn Tassie Memorial Fund.

We talked among ourselves, we three co-hosts, and it was glorious. Rona described Victuals, the excellent new volume on Appalachian food and foodways by Kentucky native Ronni Lundy. Ouita told listeners about the insides of working in a big special meal kitchen with other great chefs, an experience fresh from cooking for the third Appalachian Food Summit with chefs Travis Milton, Jonathan Sanning, Jonathan Searle, Nokee, and others. Enjoy the Appalachian focus on foods both timeless and brand new.

Appalachian Food Summit is a group of mountain foodways professionals, scholars and enthusiasts honoring the region's past, celebrating its present and supporting a sustainable future for Appalachia's food and its people.

WMMT’s mission is to be a 24 hour voice of mountain people’s music, culture, and social issues to provide broadcast space for creative expression and community involvement in making radio, and to be an active participant in discussion of public policy that will benefit coalfield communities and the Appalachian region as a whole.
