Amy’s story “Lost in the Museum” tells of an adventure she and her siblings had when her brother got lost in the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. “Deeper Blue” accompanies the story. On Creative Corner, Doreyl once again hosts Mary Jo Hooper Cobb. She tells stories about her grandmother, Mary Jane Queen Hooper, a midwife in Jackson County. The interview is followed by “You’ll Grow Into It” by Terry Edwards. Amy’s guest on Stories of Mountain Folk is Robena Mehaffey Russell, who grew up in Maggie Valley. She talks about growing up on her family’s tobacco farm, and also shares some stories about her family. “Smith’s Reel” by the McDowell Family follows the interview. Doreyl's interview with the Ross Brothers of Waynesville from March 17, 2012 is rebroadcast. They talk about playing traditional Appalachian and bluegrass music, and play “Spotted Pony” to conclude the segment. On Down Another Road, Judy hosts Carol Rifkin, a Green Grass Clogger who has been involved with traditional Appalachian music and dance for most of her life. She talks about her work writing about traditional culture for the Asheville Citizen-Times and hosting a radio show devoted to the same subject. The interview is followed by the Paul’s Creek Band playing “Angelina Baker,” with Carol Rifkin on the fiddle. The show closes with “The Old Rugged Cross” by the Cockman Family.
