Summary:

We sit down to chat with one of our favorite people, Don Martin, whose NY Times bestselling book Verity Vox and the Curse of Foxfire appeared on bookstore shelves last month. We discuss the book's origins in Appalachian history and folklore, the joys of podcasting for the past 15 years, and what lies ahead.
