What happens when the law of the land clashes with the will of the people?

Donโ€™t miss Part 2 of Ken Burnsโ€™ โ€œProhibitionโ€ tonight at 9PM, a powerful continuation of the story that explores the rise of illegal liquor, organized crime, and the unintended chaos caused by the 18th Amendment.

From secret speakeasies to larger-than-life gangsters, this episode reveals how a well-intentioned movement took a dark and dramatic turn.

Tonight at 9PM โ€“ Donโ€™t Miss It! ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿšซ

Join us for Part 1 of Ken Burns' "Prohibition". A gripping, eye-opening documentary that dives into one of the most fascinating and turbulent chapters in American history.

Discover how a nation founded on freedom attempted one of the boldest social experiments ever, banning alcohol, and the consequences that followed.

From flappers to bootleggers, speakeasies to organized crime, this is a story you wonโ€™t want to miss.

Consider a one-time gift today of $125 AND become a $10 sustaining donor so we may make-up the difference from the federal cuts and be funded for the future.

09/03/2025

In this episode of Life in Virginia's Appalachia, we look at foraging practices in our region! So naturally we needed to cover ramps.

09/02/2025

Due to an unexpected reduction in federal funding, PBS has lowered the dues required from our station this year.

As a result, you'll notice a change in our fundraising goal, what we now need to raise to stay affiliated with PBS and continue bringing you the programs you love.

Thanks to the incredible support we've already received, we're making progress, but there's still a vital need for additional donations.

If youโ€™re able, please consider giving today. Every contribution helps.

We recently teamed up with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to film an incredible story out in Kingsport, Tennessee and itโ€™s one thatโ€™s lighting a fire in all the right ways.

Meet the high school teacher whoโ€™s sparking a passion for fire management in the next generation. Through his unique and wildly popular โ€œFire Club,โ€ students are learning how controlled burns can actually benefit the environment, restoring ecosystems, preventing wildfires, and protecting native species.

Check out some behind-the-scenes photos from our shoot! We canโ€™t wait to share the final video and introduce you to these inspiring students and the teacher who's turning up the heat on environmental education. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ
