We are The Heartbeat of the Mid-Ohio Valley. Based out of Wood County, West Virginia, our podcast is all about our fascinating history and the issues that affect Wood and Washington Counties and the entire Mid-Ohio Valley area. There is a lot going on in our community that most of our residents are unaware of, and we hope to generate in others as much pride in our community as we feel.

Trunk or Treat with the Humane Society of Parkersburg
Bob and Rick, along with Mrs. Bob (Amanda), plus daughter Jessica and granddaughter Aubrey, spent last evening hosting trunks at the annual Trunk or Treat event at the Humane Society of Parkersburg. The video podcast contained a few videos which would make no sense at all in an audio-only format, so they have been edited out.

Momma T and The Warriors (guest failed to connect)
Our planned guest this evening was Teresa Racer, better known in the community as “Momma T.” She was unable to get her smartphone to cooperate and connect her to our studio feed, so we will absolutely have her back on as soon as we can figure out why she was unable to connect. “Momma T” leads a street ministry in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Parkersburg. Every week numerous trucks pull up to Lynn Street filled with tables to erect, hot home-cooked food, and bags of clothes to distribute. Volunteers wearing purple “Momma T and the Warriors” sweatshirts set up warming plates, lay out clothing and blankets, and look for directions from a smiling lady the locals call Momma T. As of 2018, the ministry was feeding around 350 people per week. Donations for the food, which cost around $800 weekly, come from many sources, including passersby who stop at the site to contribute. Teresa and a few helpers cook the food at their homes, then truck-driving volunteers transport the meals and clothing donations.
