#203: AppHarvest Exposed
Episode description
Chuck and Callie discuss a recent MASSIVE and EXPLOSIVE article in Grist, reported by Austyn Gaffney, about the absolute disaster that was AppHarvest, an agricultural start-up that sold a bill of goods to the people in Eastern Kentucky, then fleeced them and filed bankruptcy. Its a sad, wild story that you need to know about.

Plus! Callie and Chuck talk with the filmmakers behind "O Pioneer", a documentary follows three West Virginians—a blacksmith, a seamstress, and a hospital chaplain—as they creatively navigate hardship and call us to champion the pioneer within.
