  • Ultimate Podcast

    I ran across the Wyrd Mountain Girls three months ago and immediately became a huge fan. I started from their very first issue and within three months I had listened to every one. I now wait patiently for each new episode. Thank you for allowing us to come sit on the porch on old Wyrd Mountain and hang out with you ladies. Many blessings to you both.

  • Appalachian charm

    Byron and Alicia are such fun to listen to as they discuss their Appalachian ways. The topics vary greatly, but food, death, and gardening are sprinkled about frequently. Git you a chair and sit and listen.
