This week’s show will be a little different than usual. Rather than featuring a segment on an entire country, we’ll be presenting music from Appalachia, the mountainous region that stretches across much of the east coast of the United States.

We will be joined in the studio by Andrew Karakla, who hails from Virginia and has a strong connection to the musical heritage of his native land. Expect folk, gospel, and everything soulful. Even within America, there are many exciting and mysterious sounds to explore..
