#AppalachianMusic

In this soulful and thought-provoking episode, Appalachian musician Matt Mullins joins J.D. to talk about the craft of songwriting—and how the struggles, beauty, and contradictions of life in Appalachia find their way into every lyric.

Matt shares how artists like Bill Withers shaped his voice, opens up about the opioid crisis and its weight on the region, and reflects on the deep purpose he’s found in teaching the next generation. It’s a conversation about art, healing, and the responsibility that comes with telling the truth through music.

#NatalieCochran #Creepalachia
In this fact-packed episode, J.D. teams up with Jozy Moore to take on the growing wave of Natalie Cochran deniers—those still defending her or spreading misinformation in the wake of her Ponzi scheme and murder conviction.

We break down the errors in Dateline NBC’s episode, including misleading claims from the defense, like the false suggestion that Michael Cochran would be in prison if he were still alive. Jozy and J.D. present real documents, interviews, and court records that show the truth: Michael was not involved in the fraud, and the narrative being spun by some is dangerously wrong.

This isn’t gossip—it’s the unfiltered truth backed by facts.

🎙️ Watch the full episode to hear the facts they left out of the national headlines
