Season 10 of The Mountain Spirit opens with journalist Buddy Forbes, a proud Eastern Kentuckian whose storytelling is deeply rooted in the region he calls home. Through his work at WYMT, Buddy remains committed to ensuring that Appalachian people can share their stories in their own words with honesty, dignity, and heart. His connection to the mountains shapes not only the way he reports, but the way he listens, honors, and uplifts the communities he serves.

Join us for a premiere that celebrates the voices, experiences, and lived truths of the Appalachian mountains and the people who continue to shape its rich cultural landscape.
