About this listen
"Lord willing and the creek don't rise." It’s a phrase many of us have heard, a classic piece of Appalachian wisdom signaling a tentative plan. But what’s really behind it? On today's episode, Sam digs past the surface of this saying to explore a worldview shaped by faith, nature, and the hard-won understanding that our best-laid plans are always at the mercy of the unknown.
About Hillbilly Philosophy
Ever wonder if there's more wisdom in an old mountain saying than in a stuffy textbook? Welcome to Hillbilly Philosophy, the podcast that breaks down life's biggest questions with a dose of Appalachian sense.
Hillbilly Philosophy is a no-BS exploration of ethics, logic, and resilience, packed with folklore, storytelling, and usable advice for anyone looking for down-to-earth wisdom to navigate the modern world.
Your host, Sam Goodman, is a native son of Appalachia with a philosopher's soul. Born in the hills of West Virginia and raised in Pounding Mill, Virginia, Sam is a translator, bridging the gap between the world of big ideas and the world of calloused hands. He’s not an academic; he’s a storyteller with a healthy distrust for jargon and a deep respect for the gritty, hard-won wisdom of the mountains. Hillbilly Philosophy is his attempt to bottle the lightning he was fortunate to learn from.
