(April 30, 2024 - Hour One)9:14pm - John and John (J2) McLemore join me to lead off the show tonight as we talk about their new book "Gather & Grill". Currently available for preorder, John and J2 will talk about the recipes that make it into the book, what those recipes mean to them and, of course, we will talk about how this book came together. What is especially interesting to me is, during their time of ownership at Masterbuilt, there was plenty of opportunity to drop a "brand-based" book but it never happened. Tune in for what will be a great segment.9:35pm - After The McLemore Boys, the creator of the World Food Championships, Mike McCloud, joins me to talk about two different topics. In no particular order, we will discuss the 2024 version of the Famous Dave's All-Star BBQ Challenge Series. We will also talk about the 2024 version of the World Food Championships and why they pulled up their steaks in Dallas and planted them in Indianapolis. Both are big topics and both need to be dug into a lot more! Catch it tonight and be the first to hear why Mike is doing the move!The BBQ Central Show SponsorsSchwank Gills ­ Use promo code BBQCENTRAL and get $150 OFFPrimo GrillsPitts & Spitts BBQ Pits - Use "charcoalcentral" at checkout for $150 Off Charcoal GrillsBig Poppa Smokers – Use promo code “REMPE” for $10 off your purchase of $50 or more!FireboardCookin PelletsFamous Dave's All Star BBQ SeriesPit Barrel CookerFranklin BBQ PitsThe Butcher Shoppe - Save 10% When You Mention "The BBQ Central Show"JRE Tobacco – Makers of the Aladino (and other) line of premium cigars!Micallef Cigars – Premium Hand Rolled Cigars

Last time the guys were on, we talked about the sale of Masterbuilt and what they were looking to get into next. This time, we see what they have been up to, how they score the Fox and Friends deal and what it's like living the "influencer" lifestyle with a brand they owned!

In the third episode of this special series, we explore the enduring emotional toll Waco had on those who were directly involved. Tiller speaks to Lee Hancock about the challenge of objectively reporting on Waco during those 51 days in 1993, and the lasting trauma the story has had on her life. Then Tiller interviews KWTX reporter John McLemore, the sole reporter who covered the ATF raid live - and whose life and career were upended by it. And finally we hear from David Thibodeau, perhaps the most well-known Branch Davidian alive today.   Waco: American Apocalypse is streaming now on Netflix.

Bonus Series! This is Episode Three of the companion podcast series for Tiller's new Netflix series, Waco: American Apocalypse.  Waco: American Apocalypse is a deep dive into the Netflix documentary series, exploring topics and interviews that didn't make the final cut. In Episode Three, Tiller speaks to Lee about the challenge of objectively reporting on Waco and the lasting trauma the story has had on her life, as well as on those included in the documentary series. Featuring excerpts from interviews with KWTX reporter John McLemore, the sole reporter who covered the ATF raid live only to have his life upended by it, and David Thibodeau, perhaps the most well-known Branch Davidian alive today.  

Our country has a lot of issues right now thanks to the Biden administration's policies, but former Wisconsin Congressman and Fox News contributor Sean Duffy is here to pinch hit for Jimmy Failla and explain to the Fox Across America faithful why there's still hope. Sean's partner in life and the co-host of “Fox and Friends Weekend” Rachel Campos Duffy talks about how Texas Congresswoman Mayra Flores' recent surprising victory is further proof the Democratic Party is quickly losing support among Hispanic voters. Judicial Crisis Network President Carrie Severino shares her reaction to some of the criticism directed at the Supreme Court in response to recent decisions. Chef John McLemore gives us some tips on how to have an affordable Fourth of July barbeque. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich sheds light on how the Biden administration's disastrous immigration policies are impacting every state in the country. New York Republican Congressman Lee Zeldin tells Sean how he can beat New York Governor Kathy Hochul in November. Michigan Republican Congressman Bill Huizenga explains how President Biden's energy policies are responsible for high gas prices across the nation. PLUS, Montana Republican Congressman Matt Rosendale breaks down the reasons why electric cars are not a realistic option for the majority of Americans, especially those living in rural states.

This episode features a really great conversation I had recently with John McLemore and his son, John II, of Masterbuilt.  We all love stories about small business success. Someone starts up an effort we might refer to as a side hustle – working evenings and weekends to build up a business they can call their own. This is the pathway that Dawson McLemore embarked upon in the early 1970s. Today, Masterbuilt is one of the biggest manufacturers of cooking devices ranging from smokers to fryers, to their newly released Gravity Series Charcoal Grill and Smokers. Now, with the investment of Dominus Capital, Masterbuilt is connected with the Smoke Hollow and Kamado Joe brands, and we’ll cover all of these topics during our talk. Visit the main Masterbuilt Gravity Series site and follow them on social @masterbuilt for more info.  And of course, follow The BBQ Beat Podcast on Instagram as well!

Legally, morally, ethically - do they have a leg to stand on? We talk about HBO's new prestige drama "Sharp Objects."

The producers of S-Town, and what else they've worked on. You are listening to Podcast Playlist, a podcast about podcasts, where I, Brendan Hutchins, share what I've been listening to, and why you should listen, too. This is my third and final episode in a series devoted to S-Town, this time exploring the producers, their backgrounds, and some of their previous work. People know I love podcasts and are asking all the time, "Brendan! What podcasts should I listen to? What's good? Any new shows out there?" Okay, that doesn't happen. It's more like they're just standing there, unaware of what is about to happen to their ears, and I barrage them with "Oh man! Have you heard about Harmontown? Wasn't last week's Magic Tavern silly? What'd you think of Serial?" Few podcasts have penetrated the mainstream the way Serial has. The team behind the biggest podcast success launched their newest show S-Town, and I told you all about it in the previous two episodes. S-Town only took one week to reach 16 million downloads, which is a fourth of the time it took Serial season two and an eighth the time it took Serial season one. () S-Town is the love child of Serial and This American Life, taking after both, and standing on its own in a brilliant way. These producers created a new experience for listeners, not only familiar but also a remarkable blend of genres. Let's go back to the sources and see why their collaboration works so well. This is Brian Reed's first podcast as the full time host. Previously, he produced a few of my favorite segments for This American Life including articles from episode 513 "129 Cars,” episode 524 "I Was So High,” and episode 547 "Cops See It Differently.” Brian’s delivery has a genuine and affable quality, and he charms people to acquire the real story someone may be reluctant to share. On the episode "129 Cars," This American Life goes to a car dealership to get the real story about the different tactics salesmen use to meet their monthly quota. Brian tries to interview Manny, the top car salesman on the lot, who wants no part of the radio interviews, but Brian persists and finds an opening. Here's a clip:∿∿∿ Brian's ability to read anything his subject throws at him, and that he keeps coming back for more, allows him to get close, personal, and emotional stories. Similarly, in S-Town, Brian reads John McLemore's recommended short stories by Shirley Jackson, Guy de Maupassant, and William Faulkner the first night they meet in Alabama. Brian just picks up The Art Of War and jumps back into interviewing Manny, showing his dedication to understanding the subject he’s covering "129 Cars" of This American Life actually has a web-exclusive clip by Sarah Koenig, his future partner on S-Town. Sarah Koenig is an award-winning journalist and worked at This American Life for a few years, but she may be most well known for her reporting on what was the biggest podcast before S-Town, Serial. The first season covered the flawed case against Adnan Sayed for the murder of Hae Min Lee. The second season focused on the story of Bowe Bergdahl who was charged for leaving his post in Afghanistan. Both seasons of Serial are some of the best podcasting in terms of compelling narratives and amazing reporting. Here is one of my favorite clips from season one where Sarah is trying to justify the state’s timeline to Producer Dana Chivvis:∿∿∿ It's pretty amazing that Sarah explains the scenario so clearly, but this clip also cracks me up and entertains for a few reasons. First, Sarah hints that she knows a thing or two about pot. Second, the producers leave in their human interactions. Lastly, Sarah breaks from the story to comment on her partner Dana. Such a great show. Sidenote: If you enjoyed following Hae and Adnon's story from Serial season one, check out the podcast Undisclosed linked in the show notes. Undisclosed is hosted by three lawyers including Rabia Chaudry who originally brought the Adnon case to Sarah Koenig. They dive deep into the minutia of one case per season and uncover all the details that the state fails to reveal in criminal cases against the wrongfully convicted. Starlee Kine is the story consultant for S-Town, so I’m going to take this opportunity to share her previous podcast, Mystery Show, as it also includes long unedited phone calls, exposing quirks and passions, and has multiple mysteries that have satisfying resolutions. I hadn’t re-listened to Mystery Show until I was pulling clips for this episode, and it made me laugh so hard I cried. Mystery Show was my favorite podcast of 2015. Produced by Gimlet Media for one season, Starlee narrates her quirky adventures as she attempts to solve weird mysteries in her guests’ lives. The first episode is about how Laura rents a video from a store, and the next day the store is shut down and empty! What happened? My favorite episode by far is called Britney where Andrea, a not-so-well-known author, sees a photo of Britney Spears holding Andrea's book! How'd she get it? Did she like it? Starlee goes to awesome lengths to answer these questions and more. [Britney clip 1] Similar to S-Town, many books are mentioned during the episode. Here is a list of books that they could find that Britney Spears has read. [Britney clip 2] The part that I love best about Starlee's production style is the long conversations and therapist-style probing questions. In this clip, Starlee is talking with the customer service representative for a concert ticket vendor to help with her investigation. [Britney clip 3] Many of the S-Town producers that you don’t hear on the show are seasoned professionals from This American Life. Julie Snyder is the executive producer of S-Town and is the co-creator of Serial. Before that she was a senior producer at This American Life. Ira Glass, the host of This American Life, was an editorial advisor for S-Town, as was Neil Drumming who is a producer at This American Life, often covering race and family. The whole production team is top notch and it permeates through almost every moment of the show. Through the combined work of many great producers, and Ira Glass insisting that Brian record everything always, pod-listeners were all able to experience a new level of audio storytelling and start the next chapter of podcasting with S-Town. I've seen many requests on Facebook and Twitter for other podcasts to listen to that can fill the void left after listening to S-Town, but for the same reasons S-Town is special, it's impossible to give a good recommendation of another podcast. I could list some true-crime podcasts, or human-interest podcasts, or narrative podcasts, but none of them have that literature quality. As much as it pains me to say it, to fill the void left by S-Town, you may need to look into audiobooks. I have a link in the show notes for BookRiot's video on what to read after S-Town. Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood and Norman Mailer’s The Executioner's Song are recommendations from my wife Sarah. They’re both close journalistic examinations of murderers, great for anyone who wanted more murder mystery than S-Town provided. You can find more about S-Town at Stownpodcast.org, and the links will be in the show notes. There is also a Facebook group and a subbreddit, r/stownpodcast.
