Kentucky author Silas House Part II

The Talking Appalachian Podcast

What did you think of this episode?

In part II and a separate interview, Silas and I discuss the pride and prejudice associated with Appalachian dialects, and he reads from his essay "In My Own Country" from the book Talking Appalachian. Teachers, you'll want to hear this one. (You'll never hear the word "oil" the same way again.) We also discuss class prejudice as it pertains to dialect, and the Appa-la-cha/Appal-ay-cha controversy.
We sat down for this interview in April, 2021.
