When we remembered 9/11 on the 20th anniversary last year, many people talked about how in the face of such tragedy, American was more unified than ever the next day. For many of us, that was true. But it wasn't true for everyone.

Last month's Quad State Tornado devastated my hometown of Mayfield, KY. I was there to experience it firsthand, and the aftermath was both painful and inspiring. In the face of incredible loss, my childhood community rallied to rebuild, to help one another and to help those around them.

Every once in a while, it's nice to see what's happening in the other journalism realms, so Matt reached out to longtime radio personalities -- and fellow podcasters -- Gil T. Wilson and Tony Collins to talk about their careers in radio and the odd, small town "I-recognize-your-voice" celebrity status it can bring.

There's no bigger event in my homeland than the Fancy Farm Picnic. The pandemic forced organizers to cancel for the first time last year, but now it's finally back and the community it stoked! I chat with the Mayfield Messenger's editor, Eric Walker, about what the picnic means for the community and look back on some of our memories covering the big day.
