Tri State Time Machine
Tri State Time Machine

Tri-State Time Machine dives into the stories, legends, and hometown voices that make Appalachia—and our corner of WV, OH, and KY—so unforgettable.

If you’ve ever felt the Appalachian mountains hold secrets just beneath the surface, or you want to hear firsthand how the region’s myths come alive in modern storytelling, this episode is for you.On this episode of Tri State Time Machine, I sit down with Princeton, West Virginia, author Joshua Bish for an unforgettable journey into Appalachia’s folklore, haunted history, and the stories that shape our region.As a campus police officer, veteran, and creative force behind horror novels like The Lady in the Flesh, Room 316, and Blood of Psalm, Josh shares how local legends, inherited trauma, and the supernatural atmosphere of West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio influence his writing and his life.Throughout our conversation, we talk about the power of storytelling—how family tales and community memories are passed down, why Appalachian horror feels so personal, and what it’s like to blend myth with real history. Josh opens up about his creative process, the origins of spooky stories that shaped him, and the truly wild experiences that have made their way into his books.From campus ghost stories to the mysteries of the Appalachian hills, we explore the intersection of fear, imagination, and tradition.We also talk about the importance of preserving our region’s stories, the lessons hidden in folklore, and how both of us find meaning in simple, homebody lives surrounded by family.Plus, Josh shares a reading inspired by Camden Park’s legendary mound—a tale that will give you chills.We unravel the strange, the nostalgic, and the magical threads woven through Appalachia.If you have a memory you would want me to talk more about, just send me an email at TSTM@mail.com.

If you’ve ever struggled yourself or watched someone you love battle addiction, this episode is for you.On this episode of Tri State Time Machine, I sit down with Adam Foster—a content creator and storyteller from Charleston who’s built a strong following by being unapologetically honest about his addiction, his recovery, and the realities of rebuilding his life.Adam bravely shares what it's really like growing up in Appalachia, the trauma and family dynamics that shaped his early years, and how he found himself trapped in a cycle of addiction.

Wastewater treatment - who would have thought it would be so interesting!We welcome special guest Brian Bracey. He sheds light on the often-overlooked importance of wastewater management in our communities.One of the key takeaways from the episode is the historical significance of the wastewater treatment plant in Huntington. Built in the 1960s, this facility has served the needs of multiple communities, but it is now facing challenges due to its aging infrastructure. Bracey emphasizes that the plant is operating at 98% capacity, which poses a risk to economic development in the region. Without necessary upgrades, the ability to handle wastewater will be severely compromised, potentially halting growth and progress. We are going to take you on a virtual tour of the facility, where Bracey explains the intricate processes involved in treating wastewater. From screening out debris to using biological processes for waste decomposition, the episode demystifies the science behind wastewater treatment. We also highlight the safety concerns associated with older technologies, such as chlorine disinfection, and the need for modern alternatives that ensure public safety. Another essential aspect we cover is the community's role in supporting wastewater management efforts. Bracey encourages residents to stay informed and engaged, emphasizing that understanding the challenges faced by public utilities can lead to better community practices. Simple actions, like not littering and reporting issues, can significantly impact the efficiency of wastewater systems. It's clear that the future of wastewater treatment in Huntington is not just about maintaining a facility but about fostering economic growth and improving public health. With plans for a new treatment plant on the horizon, the potential for positive change is immense. Bracey shares insights into the projected economic benefits, including job creation and increased capacity for handling wastewater, which will ultimately lead to a healthier environment for all. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the critical role of wastewater treatment in their community. It serves as a reminder that behind every flush, there is a complex system working tirelessly to keep our water clean and safe.

Hey everyone, it’s Vanessa, and I’m so excited to be back behind the mic for this episode of Tri State Time Machine! I know I’ve been away for a while, and in this episode, I get real about what’s been happening in my life. I open up about struggling with grief and depression after losing my mom and my cohost, W.G., and how that’s shaped my recent journey.I also share some funny work stories—like the time a second grader surprised me with her “Ridin’ Dirty” impression—plus, what it’s really like coaching my daughter’s volleyball team (spoiler: it’s both terrifying and awesome). I get honest about the ups and downs of social media, the importance of friendships, and how meaningful it is to have my sister back home.There’s so much happening in our Tri State community, too! I talk about exciting changes in Huntington, upcoming events like Ninth Street Live, and even tease a collaboration with the Watch for Deer podcast. I also let you in on my search for a new cohost—and why finding someone who just “clicks” isn’t as easy as it sounds.So if you’ve missed the laughs, the honesty, and that Tri State nostalgia, tune in for this episode—this is the update you’ve been waiting for!Watch For Deer PodcastChairman's Club PodcastThis episode is sponsored by Alex R.

Despite her online fame, Garnet remains grounded and genuine. Her philosophy is simple: "You're born crying, you die crying. You gotta laugh a little in the middle." It's a mantra that guides her daily interactions, both online and in person. Garnet's ability to make people smile, even amidst life's challenges, is a testament to her character and resilience. In this episode, Garnet also opens up about her personal battles, including her diagnosis with breast cancer. This experience has only strengthened her resolve to enjoy every moment and spread positivity wherever she goes. Her story is a powerful reminder of the importance of living life to the fullest and cherishing each day.

In this episode of the Tri-State Time Machine, host Vanessa Hankins is joined by Jason Arthur to delve into the fascinating history of Huntington, WV. From the early days of Holderby's Landing to the bustling city it is today, Vanessa and Jason explore the rich tapestry of families, industries, and personalities that have shaped Huntington over the years.They kick off with the story of James Holderby and his initial settlement, leading to the transformative impact of Collis P. Huntington and the Emmons family in the industrial revolution of the area. The conversation then flows into the incorporation of Huntington in 1871 and its rapid development, including the historic Huntington bank robbery by the James gang and the city's pioneering use of electric streetcars.Jason and Vanessa also discuss significant events like the devastating 1937 flood and its aftermath, the decline of steel and manufacturing industries in the 1950s, and the subsequent shift towards education, tourism, and healthcare. They highlight the pivotal role of Marshall University and the city's two prestigious hospitals, Cabell Huntington Hospital and St. Mary's Medical Center, in sustaining the community.The episode wraps up with a look at Huntington's cultural landmarks, such as the Keith-Albee Theater, and beloved local eateries like Cam's Ham and Jim's Spaghetti.
