Almost Heaven, Always Us is a love letter to West Virginia — told one story at a time. Hosted by a husband-and-wife duo from Morgantown, this podcast explores the Mountain State’s people, places, history, culture, and folklore. Some episodes dive deep into local legends and hidden gems. Others feature heartfelt interviews with West Virginians who are building something special in their communities. And sometimes… it’s just us, laughing through a good story or remembering what it’s like to grow up Appalachian. Almost Heaven isn’t just where we’re from. It’s how we live, Always Us!
