  • An Award, Student Farmers, WV Explorer & Prioritizing Primary Care
    2025/05/04
    Appalachia Matters has been named The Best Radio Program in West Virginia in an unranked market, which means small market, by the West Virginia Broadcasters Association. This award would not have been possible if it were not for our contributors Major General Jim Hoyer and Beth Southern with West Virginia Department of Agriculture. This effort would have failed were it not for our loyal listeners, so we say thank you.

    In this episode Tom Susman joins General James Hoyer at the Leadership Table to discuss the award from the West Virginia Broadcasters and to discuss what is ahead for the program.

    The Rooted in the Mountain segment from the Department of Agriculture we learn about how Wheeling Park High students are involved in a school based farm and agriculture.

    David Sibray, who is from southern West Virginia, has an online publication called the West Virginia Explorer which highlights history, natural areas and just about anything in our region. Tom Susman has an extended conversation with David.

    In our final segment we will replay a report that was produced for WMOV Radio it reports on an Occupational Health and Primary Care Clinic in Gallipolis Ferry WV. It is a joint project of Marshall Health Network and Rivers Heath in Point Pleasant. The clinic is in the shadows of the Nucor steel plant which is under construction in Mason County. An interesting aspect with the clinic is the priority given to primary health care at a time many hospital systems are targeting specialty care.

  • Spring Planting, Chaotic Markets, Agritourism and Leadership Lessons
    2025/04/19
    This week on At the Leadership Table with Retired Major General Jim Hoyer, he sits down with CJ Harvey, former press secretary and director of communication for Governor Justice, and current Vice President of Communications and Marketing at the University of Charleston. They discuss how leadership is about more than being the boss; it’s about inspiring and empowering others. CJ shares his passion for West Virginia and how is telling UC’s story in his current role.

    In the Rooted in the Mountain State segment from The Department of Agriculture we will learn about an agritourism conference that is being held this month.

    We have all seen the wild stock market swings. Earlier this month I talked with Craig Slaughter of the West Virginia Investment Management Board on how they are dealing with the stock market swings and to see if he has insight on how to get through periods of uncertainty in the market.

    The Saturday before Easter is the unofficial kick off to spring planting. I stopped by the Capitol Market in Charleston to talk with some local vendors about what products they are selling and to get some background on who they are.
