'Cross County Lines is a podcast that discusses many topics about the region of Appalachia. It will cover the pride that Appalachians have, and the concerns that come with being from the region. This will be, mostly, from the point-of-view of recent college students/graduates that have grown up in Appalachia their whole life, until they went to college and experienced the city. We ask you to join us as we dive into many topics about the wonderful people of Appalachia!
This podcast is produced by Hunter Wright and Hosscat Productions.

Episode 8: A Crazy Hillbilly Isn't Gonna Come Out of The Woods and Kill You
In another exciting episode of 'Cross County Lines, we bring on Andrew Graham. Andrew is currently the musical director of 'The Book of Mormon' national tour. He's also done this for other big shows including 'Wicked' and 'Avenue Q'. We pick his brain about the transition from small town living to conducting professional theater productions all over the country (and world). Through his personal stories, we discuss what it takes to "get out of a small town" and "make it big", along with some personal advice for aspiring musicians.

Episode 7: I Mean, I Don't Have Any Kids
For once, we bring somebody on the show who has a little more experience with life than us college students. We have Damaris Goodwin on this week's episode, she is the great aunt of Hunter and has lived in several areas of the United States. She has studied a lot about family history and knows a lot about the region. We discuss why she comes back to the region, what changes have happened since she's left, and what changes she would like to see to create an upswing in Appalachia!
