Show Notes
Nat King Cole singing “chestnuts roasting on an open fire” is a classic sound associated with the holidays, yet for many the tradition is no more than a line in the song. Newsletter editor Francesca Dabecco joins host Morgan Moody to share how the American chestnut tree was once rooted in the culture and landscape of Appalachia — and how, thanks to the hard work of regional researchers, it might be making a comeback.
