The Arcadians are back, ready to go with a new episode. Today, Andrew sits down to talk with Nneka Udechukwu about mountaintop removal in Eastern Kentucky. Nneka, who moved to Kentucky from Nigeria a couple years ago, shares her learning experiences at UK and her experience of protest and politics in Eastern Kentucky’s mining culture. They talk about Wendell Berry’s recent sit-in at Frankfort and the connections between mountaintop removal and Shakespeare’s The Tempest. You can listen to the episode here or download it on iTunes.
Nneka recommends Erik Reece’s Lost Mountain. Andrew gives a shout-out to Kathy Mattea and her album Coal.
