    As a native West Virginian, I was excited to learn about this podcast. I’m even more excited about what the Cardinal Institute is doing to help better the future of West Virginians. This podcast helps those who aren’t from there to better understand perspectives of the “flyover states,” and validates so much of the perspectives of those of us who grew up there, and who long for a brighter, more opportunistic future for all West Virginians.
