Look forward to more volumes of The Heartland Series coming to YouTube in the near future! There are more than 30 volumes in all with episodes from the mid-1980s to the late 2000s.

11th Commandment “Thou shall remain silent during the Heartland Series” my grandparents house😁

What a beautiful gift of sharing WBIR, The Heartland Series is so wonderful, educational to younger generations, I tip my hat for the gracious sharing gift.
-
These are precious memories for me. This was before WBIR went blatantly liberal in their reporting. They are no longer “straight from the heart,” but at least we have these videos to remind us of better times.
-
One of the hallmarks of my childhood. WBIR and Bill Landry's soothing tones educating me every time I visited the Smokys. Glad it's digital now. I can share with my own children.

My great grandfather was on this show a few times. I would do anything to get ahold of those tapes/videos. I didn't see him in this volume his name was Roscoe Stinnett. He was a trapper/hunter and was also on an episode talking about humming birds when him and Bill Landry happened to come across a hummingbird nest neither had even seen before. Pretty cool stuff you don't see shows like this anymore.

-
Oh I can't thank you enough! This series is one of the jewels of our East TN crown!
-
My wife and I love to relax watching Heartland Series. I've met Bill Landry several times and he is always a joy to talk to.
-
This is a national treasure. They were able to record so much of the old way and the old speech before they passed.
-
This is my first time watching this series I love stuff like this I love the smoky mountain it is beautiful there
-
What an unexpected treasure trove for this sometime Oak Ridge boy. Thanks, Bill Landry and WBIR, for this vital legacy.
-
Mr Landry just doesn’t know what a treasure this show is. I watched it from the time it came on air til it went off. He opened the worlds eyes to us, the people of Appalachia and our ways. ❤❤❤❤
-
Thank you for making these available to watch in their entirety!
-
My father used to rent The Heartland Series from our local library in East TN when I was a boy. We would watch it after dinner. Always loved it. Thanks for sharing this!
-
I keep expecting to hear "WHEEL OF FORTUNE!!" after every episode.
-
Bill Landry was Indigenous, and I'm so grateful for his knowledge
-
I just tried to find resources of The Heartland Series and found that this was added "one day ago". I learned a lot from this endeavor of WBIR and Bill Landry Thank you
