The StoryTown Radio Show celebrates Women History Month in a production that features stories and skits about the lives and contributions of local women from Jonesborough and surrounding areas. Featured in this production is a harrowing true tale from World War II of a beloved aunt trapped inside of a Sherman Tank; an inspirational story of an educator with a PhD who returns to school in her fifties to become a lawyer who later works on behalf of senior citizens; a root doctor who uses knowledge passed down through generations to forage locally growing plants for healing. The music guest for this production is another remarkable woman, Momma Molasses, whose music interlaces Classic Country, Folk, Piedmont Blues, Soul, Swing, Bluegrass, and Old-Time which blend into a uniquely timeless sound.
