Sabrina Artel's Trailer Talk can now be heard every Friday at 2pm on WJFF Radio Catskill 90.5FM in Jeffersonville, New York.
Trailer Talk is a public conversation that always includes many more people during the live event than are included in the audio program. In all cases the audio program which is the secondary component of the Trailer Talk project is only a portion of the conversations shared at my mobile kitchen table. I am grateful to all of the participants during Trailer Talk both inside and outside of the trailer. Everyone who participates in Trailer Talk is important to both the live and the recorded audio event. Thanks so much to everyone for joining in on the conversations!

Details: Kayford Mountain, WV Jim Foster, Marine 1.9.09 Jim Foster a former Marine and World War II veteran joined me late one night this summer on Kayford Mountain West Virginia at the Mountainkeepers Music Festival hosted by Larry Gibson. This is a continuing series from the conversations on the mountaintop. Jim shares the threat faced by himself and his neighbors because of the coal industry. Jim a World War II veteran shares his horror, anger and sadness that his home is being destroyed so carelessly and that the country that he fought for and loves is acting so immorally as the majestic life providing mountains are destroyed. The destruction of the mountains and the massive explosions used to blow them up brought tears to his eyes as he witnesses the loss of all that sustains life for future generations. What happens when we can no longer breathe the air where we live, or drink the water, or be renewed from the beauty of the landscape or survive yet another late night evacuation caused by the slurry pools or exist in a dying community? These are certainly not shoes that anyone would choose to stand in. Thank you for joining me Jim Foster! Special thanks to The Homestead School in Glen Spey, New York, for their generous support which made my trip to West Virginia possible.
