The Appalachian Tale Podcast, Deeper In The Holler

The Appalachian Tale Podcast is a storytelling podcast about the people, food, and traditions that shape life in Appalachia and beyond. Hosted by cookbook author and storyteller Jimmy Proffitt , each episode invites guests to share the memories, meals, and mountain wisdom that connect us to where we come from. From cast iron cooking and family recipes to front-porch conversations and stories passed down through generations, this podcast celebrates Appalachian heritage in all its flavors. Whether we're talking with cooks, makers, musicians, historians, or neighbors from down the road, every conversation reminds us that the mountains and the hollers hold more stories than we can count. So grab you something to drink and listen a spell as we go deeper in the holler . Jimmy published his first cookbook, Seasoned In Appalachia in Oct. 2025. You can also find him on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok as @theappalachiantale .
