Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/unplugged Unplugged features topics and stories from one of America’s leading electric cooperatives, Blue Ridge Energy. Electric cooperatives share a unique history that is etched into the framework of rural American life. Founded decades ago on a principle of bringing electricity to rural Americans left in the dark, electric cooperatives have become a beacon for economic growth and innovation in the less populated pockets of the United States. On Unplugged, host Jacob Puckett, interviews guests on a wide range of topics and issues facing rural Americans that are served by electric cooperatives. © 2025 Blue Ridge Energy 9200b965-6a93-53d5-a1cb-6c276a47820a no en Fri, 23 May 2025 10:53:07 -0400 Tue, 02 Dec 2025 15:22:19 -0500 https://www.blueridgeenergy.com/news-center/podcast https://img.transistor.fm/O549nxD54FFWDBIyE0g7JQXYKN0NQGbsemrF-hz2eoY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:1400/h:1400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzMzNTEvMTY0Mzcy/NDg4MS1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.jpg https://www.blueridgeenergy.com/news-center/podcast episodic Blue Ridge Energy Unplugged features topics and stories from one of America’s leading electric cooperatives, Blue Ridge Energy.
