Here in this episode of Philosophy in Focus we examine the decline of the American Dream in Appalachia—a region once rich in opportunity but now facing economic collapse, social fragmentation, and political neglect. From the collapse of the coal industry to the opioid crisis, the episode explores how these factors have eroded the fabric of Appalachian communities.

Also, delve into the philosophical questions surrounding opportunity, identity, and the future of the American Dream for those left behind. Tune in for a deep, thoughtful exploration of a region in crisis. Available now on Wat-Not, Spotify and all major streaming platforms.
