On Creative Corner, Doreyl talks with Jeff Marley, the Heritage Arts Chair at the Nantahala School for the Arts located at Southwestern Community College’s Swain Campus. He talks about how he developed and pursued his interest in the arts and the work he does with the school. The interview is followed by “Evening Song” by the Cherokee National Children’s Choir. On Stories of Mountain Folk, Amy talks once again with Ray Carpenter, who talks about his love of poetry and how he practices his craft. “Back Then” by the Smoky Mountain Boys follows the interview.

The interview is followed by “I’ll Be Alright” by Lessie Williams. On Down Another Road, Judy welcomes Sandy West and her husband Ron, the operators of Hot Springs Spa, who talk about the history of the spa up through the end of World War I. “Jack Lambert’s Letter” by Buddy Melton (from the Songs from Jackson County album) follows the interview, and “God’s Rainbow Promise” by Betty Collins Brown ends the show.
