Welcome to the Shuck Beans Podcast, hosted by Phoenicia Miracle — a heartfelt celebration of the people, faith, food, humor, resilience, and deep-rooted heritage of Southern Appalachia.

Born from a simple search for real shuck beans, this podcast is for anyone connected to the mountains — those who still call Appalachia home, and those who left on the Hillbilly Highway but never stopped carrying the culture with them.

Each episode features meaningful conversations that explore Appalachian history, genealogy, music, values, traditions, and transformation — with pride, honesty, and hope. No stereotypes. No pathos. No explaining ourselves. Just the good of Appalachia.

If you’ve ever wondered whether this podcast is for you… Did your mom keep the bacon grease? Have you been to more funerals than weddings? Do you know “holler” is spelled with two O’s?

Then you’re in the right place.
