#66: Car crashes, David P – prison and gangs

Call them car crashes, not “accidents.”   The vast majority are human error in judgement, like choosing distracted driving.  Did you know that according to the PVTA website, taking the bus is something like 160 times safer than driving?

The second part of the show is an interview with my friend David Perez from Chicago.  David spent 28 years in state prison on a murder charge.  He talks about his involvement with gangs at a young age, and personal changes.

#64: KY voices: Poke, Coal mining

 

Late April/early May is time to collect pokeweed and make poke sallet and the like. (COOK IT FIRST!)  I was in KY in April/May and interviewed some neighbors about collecting and preparing pokeweed.
Also, Clifford Maiden talks about being an underground coal miner for 30 years, and his thoughts on the current state of coal.

 

Unfortunately this show didn’t record, so it’s just the edited clips stuck together, no songs or intros.
