In this episode, Neil and Will sit down with Luke Glaser. As a Hazard, KY City Commissioner, Luke not only personally went through the recent devastating floods in Eastern Kentucky, he has been part of the process of recovery - something he and his colleagues have had to learn as they go. Hazard, KY in Perry County was one of the hardest hit areas when the flood came in late July. The devastation and initial recovery was a national news story for weeks. As those weeks have passed and the cameras are now gone, the recovery and need of support is only just beginning. Take a listen to hear Luke express what recovery efforts are still needed and in immediate demand in the area. In addition, as we celebrate "Teacher Appreciation Week", hear Luke's passion for his students as a high school teacher in Hazard. You might even hear about Neil's "Practical" luck and Will's recent journey to a special place in Appalachia. Also, don't forget about the #AppBiz(s) of the week: France's Diner and the Barter Theater!
