A part of our celebration of Walter Edgar's Journal at 21 we present an encore from 2014, with guest John Shelton Reed, talking about his book, Dixie Bohemia: A French Quarter Circle in the 1920s.In the years following World War I, the New Orleans French Quarter attracted artists and writers with low rent, a faded charm, and colorful street life. By the 1920s Jackson Square became the center of a vibrant but short-lived bohemia. A young William Faulkner and his roommate William Spratling, an artist who taught at Tulane, were among the "artful and crafty ones of the French Quarter." In Dixie Bohemia: A French Quarter Circle in the 1920s (LSU Press, 2012) John Shelton Reed introduces Faulkner's circle of friends ranging from the distinguished Sherwood Anderson to a gender-bending Mardi Gras costume designer and brings to life the people and places of New Orleans in the jazz age.Dr. John Shelton Reed is the William Rand Kenan Jr. Professor Emeritus of sociology at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, where he was director of the Howard Odum Institute for Research in Social Science for twelve years and helped found the university's Center for the Study of the American South and the quarterly Southern Cultures.

John J. Miller is joined by John Shelton Reed to discuss his book, 'On Barbecue.'

In this episode, I’m talking with Texas Monthly BBQ Editor Daniel Vaughn. As many of you know, Daniel contributes BBQ restaurant reviews and cultural history articles that go way beyond what you might call typical food blogging. I’ve followed his writing since purchasing his 2013 book The Prophets of Smoked Meat: A Journey Through Texas Barbecue. Daniel’s book covers all of the varied styles of BBQ cooked across the great state of Texas in a way that showcases the various ways BBQ is prepared but, more importantly, shares the stories and history behind how those styles developed. In this regard, it has a style that’s very similar to the North Carolina BBQ book written by John Shelton Reed and his wife Dale Volberg Reed, called Holy Smoke: The Big Book of North Carolina Barbecue. As I listened to the recording of my interview with Daniel Vaughn, I realized just how much ground we covered a relatively short amount of time. Here are just a few things you won’t want to miss from my talk with Daniel Vaughn:  Daniel’s friendship with Anthony Bourdain during and after the publishing of Prophets of Smoked Meat BBQ restaurants that deserve more press than they get The impact Daniel's Texas Monthly BBQ reviews have on BBQ restaurants Why Daniel fears one particular style of Texas BBQ may be at risk of becoming a thing of the past How to know the best time to hit that BBQ spot you’ve been dying to try What it was like working with Sam Jones on his book about whole hog BBQ I counted, and during our talk, Daniel and I reference about 24 different BBQ restaurants. Most of these are within Texas, but Oklahoma and North Carolina factor into our talk as well. I think you’re going to enjoy this interview with Daniel. If you do, please take the time to tag him @bbqsnob on social media and let him know. I am sure he’ll appreciate it. ------------------------------------------------ Connect with Daniel:  Daniel Vaughn's work at Texas Monthly Find Daniel on Instagram Find Daniel on Twitter Get Daniel's Book Here Connect with Me on Social Media: The BBQ Beat Podcast Website The BBQ Beat Podcast on Instagram The BBQ Beat Podcast on Facebook The BBQ Beat Podcast on YouTube  

John Shelton Reed, William Rand Kenan Jr. Professor of sociology (emeritus) at the University of North Carolina, has been observing the South for decades. This week he and Al Zambone talk about New Orleans in the 1920s, the subject of his book Dixie Bohemia: A French Quarter Circle in the 1920s (LSU Press, 2012). In the years following World War I, the New Orleans French Quarter attracted artists and writers with its low rents, faded charm, and colorful street life. By the 1920s Jackson Square had become the center of a vibrant if short-lived bohemia. A young William Faulkner and his roommate William Spratling, an artist who taught at Tulane University, resided among the "artful and crafty ones of the French Quarter." In Dixie Bohemia John Shelton Reed introduces Faulkner's circle of friends -- ranging from the distinguished Sherwood Anderson to a gender-bending Mardi Gras costume designer -- and brings to life the people and places of New Orleans in the Jazz Age.

Summer is here and for many of us, that means going outside and cooking in the great outdoors. Although there are many ways to prepare food in the open, nothing quite compares to barbecue. Today, we’re exploring the world of barbecue and learning that it’s much more than a technique for cuisine. It’s a distinct and unique societal culture. We start the show with Matt Basile. He’s the creator of the Toronto-based street food brand Fidel Gastro’s although you might best know him for his television show, Rebel Without A Kitchen. He’s been revolutionizing the cooking world for years thanks in part to his love for barbecue. We discuss the science of barbecuing and how different varieties can define different worldly cultures. When it comes to barbecue, the mind might think of the American South. It’s an integral part of being a Southerner and our next guest has been exploring what this means from a sociological perspective. He is John Shelton Reed and for the last half Century, he has been researching the South and how differences in barbecue technique can reveal much about that society. In our SASS Class, we focus on the science of being sure your barbecue efforts turn out both delicious and safe. We talk with Jeff Savell, who is one of the world’s experts in meat and barbecue science. We learn that barbecuing may not seem all that difficult but when you get into the science, it really is worthy of study. If you enjoy The Super Awesome Science Show, please take a minute to rate it on Apple Podcasts and be sure to tell a friend about the show. Thanks to you, we’ve been nominated for a Canadian Podcast Award as Outstanding Science and Medicine Series.

In this podcast episode, John Shelton Reed - Southern Culture Author and BBQ Historian - talks about Carolina BBQ History, TrueCue.org, and more.

"How did this gaudy jewel come to be?" asks John Shelton Reed '64 of barbecue, the closest rival, in his mind, that America has to Europe's wines and cheeses in terms of cuisine. In his second book on the subject, Reed offers 51 recipes that, for him, exemplify American Southern barbecue. In this interview, Reed offers his take on "chefs" who cook barbecue, why North Carolina sauce is the most authentic, and how a poli-sci major from MIT turned sociologist at UNC came to the topic of barbecue in the first place.

I don't have much to add: to what I said when we last "aired" this conversation, except to express some apologies that we've reached again into the Archive. It's End of Year at Augustana College, which for both students and faculty is like being pressed headfirst through a funnel at Mach 2.3: its painful, but kind of exhilarating at the same time. It also doesn't allow much time for anything else. But I should also add a warm welcome to the many new listeners who are causing the silver spinning platters in Historically Thinking's quaint Amish-built server farm to work full-time. We thank you particularly because your downloads tell us that we're doing something good, and make us want to keep doing more of it. Many thanks. I like this podcast a lot, for three reasons. First, it's with a conversation with a friend, a man I admire for being an academic who does his own thing, in his own unique way. Second, it's about barbecue. Third, it is really a conversation about place, and place is something of a secondary preoccupation at Historically Thinking, right after historical thinking (and historical feeling, but that's another podcast series). Pig is pig, even in Memphis; but Memphis is not North Carolina, and it would be foolish for it to try to be. Here on the Upper Mississippi it's May, which means winter is just about over; people are creeping outside and beginning to put things on the grill; and the redolent smoke is floating through the late evening, a sign and seal of the approach of summer. Sometimes these nice Midwestern folk call what they're doing barbecue; and while they're good people, that "just ain't right." Barbecue is ... well, What Barbecue Is, and particularly what North Carolina Barbecue Is, happens to be the subject of this podcast. Once again, the eminence grease of Southern Sociology and Self-Understanding, John Shelton Reed, joins Al Zambone, this time to talk about North Carolina barbecue, the subject of a book he recently coauthored with Dale Volberg Reed and William McKinney. Holy Smoke: The Big Book of North Carolina Barbecue is not only a history and sociology of North Carolina barbecue; it's not only a set of interviews with some of the foremost practitioners of the art; it's also got recipes. It even has instructions on how to build your own barbecue pit so that you can cook a whole hog. Isn't that something? We don't want to brag, but, we have to say it: this is our most delicious podcast yet. And since Reed will soon be coming out with a book surveying the rest of the Southern barbecue scene, he's sure to be on Historically Thinking again. For Further Reading and Eating John Shelton Reed and Dale Volberg Reed, with William McKinney, Holy Smoke: The Big Book of North Carolina Barbecue  Reed thinks this review of his book by Bill Kauffman got what the book is all about. Allen & Son Bar-B-Q–they don't have a website, but they have a Yelp page full of happy customers. Don't even bother to read it. Just go eat there, OK?

Barbecue devotee John Shelton Reed's latest book picks up where his last one left off – sort of!

John Shelton Reed,Dale Volberg - Reed Holy Smoke In the season premiere of North Carolina Bookwatch authors John Shelton Reed and Dale Volberg Reed present their authoritative, spirited, and often opinionated, new book, Holy Smoke, a passionate exploration of the lore, recipes, traditions, and people who have helped shape North Carolina's signature slow-food dish. In Holy Smoke, these barbecue devotees, along with co-author William McKinney, trace the origins of North Carolina 'cue and the emergence of the heated rivalry between Eastern and Piedmont styles. In it, they provide detailed instructions for cooking barbecue at home, along with recipes for the traditional array of side dishes that should accompany it. The final section of the book presents some of the people who cook barbecue for a living, recording firsthand what experts say about the past and future of North Carolina barbecue.

DG Martin interviews John Shelton Reed - Minding the South For more than thirty years John Shelton Reed has been "minding" the South—watching over it, providing commentary upon it. He is the author or editor of thirteen books about the South, and Reed has read widely and in depth about the South. His primary focus is upon Southerners' present-day culture and consciousness, but he knows that one must approach the South historically in order to understand the place and its people. Reed celebrates the South with a discussion of his latest book Minding the South on North Carolina Bookwatch. In this special episode, the Chapel Hill resident shares his wit, wisdom and Southern charm, never afraid to speak his mind, even when it comes to taking his beloved South to task and reveals how he has become known as one of the best "South watchers" there is.
