Your Heard Tell Show for Wednesday, August 9th, 2023 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by taking the headlines about actress Sandra Bullock's long term parter passing away after a years-long private battle with ALS to highlight the 1 in 5 American who are caregivers, their struggles and plights, and how we all should plan ahead to care for or be cared for ourselves. The online trend of police "auditors" who film law enforcement for the internet is making some folks big money on platforms like YouTube and TikTok, but are some of them going too far and instead of highlighting police misconduct are they making the situation worse? We will discuss. Our guest is Dr. Bob Hutton, professor of history and Appalachian studies at Glenville State University talks the past, present and future of higher ed in Appalachia and West Virginia, talks how campuses can bring both culture shock and diversity to a local community, how outside students take to Appalachia, and addresses the issues facing colleges and universities in coming years as closures and budget cuts come along with declining enrollment.

All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.
