The Fox Is Still On Fire With Wallace Cole
What used to be in the mountains is still there.
The Fox Is Still on Fire is a podcast about the history, folklore, real stories, and unexplained mysteries of Appalachia.
Hosted by Wallace Cole, each episode explores old newspaper accounts, family stories, mountain traditions, forgotten places, and firsthand experiences through careful research, honest skepticism, and respect for what we still don't know.
Some stories have ordinary explanations.
Some never found one.
The most interesting are the ones that leave us with better questions than answers.
