This week the gang gets together and talks about that great Kentucky tradition: mine disasters. Wes relays the story of the strange encounter with the Belva Mine Lumberjack (aka The Flannel Man) during the 1945 Belv No. 1 Mine Explosion, then Kate transition into more mundane but still notable and tragic historical mine disasters. They also recount dumb stories of their fathers' coal mining careers. Wes may have to go on a road trip because of an old newspaper cover posted on the internet.
