Appalachia Meets World Episode 166 - Appalachian Re-entry with Aaron Poynter
Continuing Recovery Month! In this episode Neil and Will sit down with the Director of Reentry and Employment Services Branch of the Commonwealth of Kentucky - Mr. Aaron Poynter. Led by Aaron, Kentucky’s Reentry program is getting national attention for its success and rapid adoption. From a Police Officer to Workforce Development, Aaron has built his career on the backs of Giants who have guided (or pushed) him every step of the way. Hear him describe the importance of walking alongside individuals as they take their own journey to sustainable employment. Empowerment, self-worth and purpose are all words he uses to describe the impact of employment on the development of an individual person and how it significantly reduces recidivism. You can hear the passion he has for the work and how he goes about it full tilt everyday. During recovery month, take a listen to hear what almost everyone is striving for in life - a good job and to be happy. You might even hear why Neil has a little resentment for our guest and what he thinks about pumpkin flavor ("never in May"). Oh yeah, don't forget about the #AppBiz(s) of the week, Esto and Pollen8/Cafe Appalachia!

Appalachia Meets World Episode 164 - Appalachia's "Silent Killer" with Dr. Daniel Moore and Sarah Laurel
It's National Recovery Month! In this episode, Neil and Will sit down with Dr. Daniel Moore and Sarah Laurel, two experts on chronic hepatitis C (HCV) and the link to injection drug use. While not from the region, they speak specifically about the health effects of this in Appalachia. Leading into National Recovery Month in September, the numbers of this disease are staggering. Approximately 2.4 million Americans are living with HCV, with cases more than doubling over the past ten years with the opioid epidemic exacerbating the rise. Today, it is estimated that 50% of people who inject drugs are also living with HCV. Hear Dr. Moore and Sarah speak on the importance of education and outreach as approximately 40% of people living with it are totally unaware they have it. Take a listen as they advocate for interventions and the possibility of elimination...does that mean there is a cure? Listen and find out! You might even hear Neil's jealousy as it pertains to a another brother duo from the "big city." Also, don't forget about the #AppBiz(s) of the week: Reintegrate Appalachia; and Dirty Girl Coffee!
