Stephen Kurczy author of The Quiet Zone: Unraveling the Mystery of a Town Suspended in Silence | Green Bank, West Virginia, the last truly quiet town in America | Oct. 21, 2021

Lynn and John talk with journalist and author Stephen Kurczy, author of The Quiet Zone: Unraveling the Mystery of a Town Suspended in Silence. Deep in the Appalachian Mountains lies the last truly quiet town in America. Green Bank, West Virginia, is a place at once futuristic and old-fashioned: It’s home to the Green Bank Observatory, where astronomers search the depths of the universe using the latest technology, while schoolchildren go without WiFi or iPads. Tune in to hear how this little town muddles through its existence.
