Hello everyone. Welcome to the first episode of “Laurel’s Legacies,” a podcast about Laurel County, Kentucky's history, highlighting its people, places and events.
I’m your host, Danna Estridge, a former journalist turned historian with a passion for local history.
I like to discover “the unexpected” things about history and pass along what I find by writing about it, or – in this case – podcasting about it.
For example, a few years ago I was searching through old newspapers on microfilm and I came across something about one of my great-uncles in Laurel County that was quite “unexpected.”
You'll have to listen to the podcast episode to find out what I discovered. I think you'll be as surprised as I was!
