Southern Fiction: Shane Brown & Michael Farris SmithMichael Farris Smith and Shane Brown write what they know.

You can see the film, Chasing Rabbits, on Tubi, Amazon Prime, and Apple TV.Shane Brown is the son of acclaimed author Larry Brown.

Both authors are located in Oxford, a gathering point for creative types. Must be something in the air.Southern noir is a gritty, atmospheric subgenre of fiction that merges the dark, cynical tone of classic noir with the distinct cultural and historical backdrop of the American South. Set in humid, decaying towns or sprawling urban underbellies, it features flawed protagonists—often detectives, drifters, or outcasts—navigating a world of corruption, violence, and moral ambiguity. Infused with Southern Gothic elements, such as grotesque characters and oppressive settings, Southern noir explores themes of racial tension, class struggle, and the lingering weight of history, all wrapped in a sultry, fatalistic vibe. Authors like James Lee Burke and Daniel Woodrell craft taut, evocative tales that pulse with the South's unique blend of beauty and brutality.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support

Milwaukee Bucks assistant general manager Milt Newton joined Marques Johnson & Kris Johnson to discuss his incredible journey with basketball and an inside perspective on Milwaukee's offseason transactions over the past two seasons. Their conversation begins with a look at Newton's basketball life, starting with the influential D.C. basketball scene and his early days as a player before transitioning to his college years with the 1988 NCAA Champion Kansas Jayhawks. He shares stories from ‘Danny & The Miracles,' learning from iconic coaches like Larry Brown, John Calipari and Roy Woods, playing with Danny Manning and more from that era of his life. That leads to a chat about how he transitioned to NBA front office roles and why his time under iconic coaches influences how he looks at roster construction. Milt breaks down the Bucks' mindset and approach to their three key offseason additions of Delon Wright, Taurean Prince and Gary Trent Jr. He provides a deeper look at the Damian Lillard trade nearly one year later and how the team has evolved around its core for the upcoming season. The conversation is capped off as we learn more about Newton's artistic side and how he made a larger impact on Kris' career than he even knew.

Rundown -   Intro - 00:35   Mike Littwin - 07:24   Troubadour Dave Gunders - 01:46:36   "Just Try Me" by Dave Gunders - 02:08:13   Outro - 02:13:51   Following this historic month of political upheaval, the lead columnist for @coloradosun, Mike Littwin, reviews the dramatic developments climaxed by the Chicago DNC. VP Kamala Harris' acceptance speech was the cherry on top.   Littwin recounts his career from growing up in Norfolk to covering the local ABA Virginia Squires – who practiced at the Norfolk JCC. Point guard Larry Brown and forward Doug Moe were friendly to young Littwin, who labored for the local paper.   Two years later, the Squires had a new player, Julius Erving, who stood out. When George Gervin joined the Squires, Littwin witnessed the Iceman and Dr. J. play hellacious one-on-one games after practice. https://images.app.goo.gl/WjANJtiwQUN6Ffoi6   Littwin went on to significant stints at the Baltimore Sun and LA Times before heading to Denver, where, for decades, he was Denver's leading news columnist at the late Rocky Mountain News. Littwin's work still shines twice a week at the Colorado Sun.   Kamala Harris' nomination acceptance speech gets thoroughly reviewed. The Craig Silverman Show salutes Littwin for bravely calling on @potus to step down right after his debate debacle. Littwin kept it up in subsequent columns. https://coloradosun.com/2024/06/30/biden-trump-debate-opinion-littwin/   Social media barbs were thrown at Littwin and others advocating for Biden to pass the torch. The show recognizes the critical roles of Ezra Klein, David Axelrod, Tim Miller, NYT, George Clooney, Joe Walsh, Pod Save America, Joe Salazar, and Rob Reiner for joining the patriotic advocacy.   The antisemitism of Donald Trump gets addressed and undressed. Given Trump's verbal attack on PA Gov. Josh Shapiro and Trump's claims Jews need their heads examined, Littwin lets loose on the GOP presidential nominee. Host and guest talk as two experienced American Jews.   We have never seen a phenomenon like Kamala Harris and her VP selection, Tim Walz. We go over the Walz speech and the sensation caused when Gus Walz cried with pride in his Dad. Warning: get a handkerchief. You may want to cry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBrnKM0jo40   The following bold names are subjects of Littwin stories: Jim Murray, David Simon, Dr. J., Larry Brown, Doug Moe, Bill Owens, John Hickenlooper, Michael Bennet, Jason Crow, Joe Neguse, Jack Nicklaus, Bob Beauprez, Hank Brown, RFK JR., and Cory Gardner.   We talk about photojournalist for RMN and NYT, Todd Heisler, who took amazing Kamala pic at the DNC. Littwin traveled the world with Heisler when they worked together. Learn the respect Littwin has for Heisler. https://www.mediaite.com/news/just-stunning-iconic-photo-of-kamala-harris-and-great-niece-amara-during-dnc-speech-goes-viral/   Littwin keeps columnizing because he loves his craft and his Colorado Sun audience is enormous. Colorado readers are deprived of most of our old favorites, but not the legendary Littwin, who still enjoys the challenge and profit of churning out world-class columns for us to enjoy.   Littwin's highly accomplished UT Austin law professor daughter, Angie Littwin, and Littwin's grandsons also have him loving life. Few people like politics and history more than Mike Littwin. We like and feel Kamalamomentum. https://law.utexas.edu/faculty/angela-k-littwin/publications/   Troubadour Dave Gunders loved the Chicago DNC and identified his favorite parts. Kamala Harris was the star, and we hope our 47th President. She made her case on Thursday. "Just Try Me" is the perfect Gunders' persuasion song for the American electorate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCfJgGEUYRo&list=OLAK5uy_lwU1xbs2JtDfVhprMsLjmBd45zsa1IfPE&index=2

Hello Old Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Your Favorite Sport's Yesteryear.Prior to 2004, the U.S. Olympic Basketball Team had won three straight gold medals, and not even lost a game since professionals were first allowed to play in 1992.

Tim Thomas joins the show to talk late 90's Sixers, 2001 Bucks and mid-2000's Knicks. He also highlights his rise to the league as the #1 player in the Class of 1996 and his rivalry with Kobe Bryant in high school. We use the “ahead of his time” label pretty lightly these days. But Thomas, at 6'10” with a sweet stroke and guard-like handles was…definitely ahead of his time. Philadelphia was his landing spot in the 1997 Draft, and Thomas joined a squad featuring a young Allen Iverson and Jerry Stackhouse. Thomas dispels the narrative that AI and Stackhouse hated each other and dives deep into his relationship with Larry Brown. Less than two years into his Sixers tenure, Thomas was shipped to Milwaukee, where he'd play alongside Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson and Sam Cassell. The Bucks had the number offense in the league in 2001 and beat Indiana and Charlotte in the playoffs before facing Philly, Thomas' old team, in the Conference Finals. The epic 7-game series came down to the last shot, which Glenn Robinson missed, and Philly advanced. After Milwaukee, Thomas had successful stints with New York and Phoenix. To wrap up the episode, we talk about Tim Thomas Playaz AAU program, which has ushered more than 25 players into the NBA with tens of millions in contract dollars earned.

The Charlotte Bobcats existed for 10 seasons and racked up a grand total of zero playoff wins. The pinnacle of the franchise came in 2009/10, when the Stephen Jackson and Gerald Wallace-led Bobcats made the playoffs and ranked first in defense. Stephen Jackson arrived in Charlotte nine games into the 2009/10 season after being traded from Golden State. Stak was just two years removed from making history with the 2007 We Believe Warriors. That Warriors core - featuring Baron Davis, Matt Barnes, Jason Richardson and Al Harrington - dismantled quickly following their magical run. By 2009, Captain Jack was the lone sailor left, and he wasn't happy. He publicly requested a trade in the summer of 2009 and was shipped off to the Bobcats in December. Directly following the trade, reporters asked Bobcats head coach Larry Brown if he was worried about Jackson joining his locker room. Stak had a bad reputation following the Malice at the Palace, and more recently from a sideline blow-up with his old Warriors coach, Don Nelson. But Brown was not worried at all. Jackson, he said, shared certain qualities with his former student, Allen Iverson. "I can deal with (high-maintenance) kids. All you have to do is be straight with them,' Brown said. ‘After six years with Allen (Iverson in Philadelphia), I don't look at anybody as a challenge. (Jackson) wants to play and he's a competitor. Guys like that you can make work in your locker room." With Jackson, Wallace, Tyson Chandler and Boris Diaw, the Bobcats won a franchise-high 44 games and made the playoffs for the first time in their history. Despite getting swept in the first round, this 2010 season is a source of great pride for Jackson. Catch new episodes of Forgotten Seasons every Wednesday. Learn more about your ad choices.

SEASON 2 EPISODE 88: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Jack Smith dares our corrupt Supreme Court to answer the decisive question right here, right now: If Dementia J. Trump is right and he didn't just make up this "Presidential Immunity" bullshit out of whole cloth, why did Ford pardon Nixon? Why did Nixon negotiate a pardon with Ford before he resigned? Why did Trump say just three months ago he was advised to pardon himself, and that if elected again he would consider a self-pardon?  Smith's bold move to get the Supreme Court to decide this ultimate question will, if nothing else, cut Trump's endless stalls off at the pass. But with Samuel Alito just yesterday issuing a dissent in another case that might as well have been pulled off one of Trump's insane ALL CAPS SOCIAL MEDIA WORDGASMS, might Alito lead SCOTUS into a disaster just horrific enough to destroy itself and the nation by siding with Trump's ahistorical, unconstitutional crap? ALSO: On Day One of their trial, Giuliani's lawyer assures us he knows he did wrong and shouldn't be punished for slandering the two Georgia poll workers. Then Rudy goes out and slanders them again. Trump's mental deterioration is so obvious it was noticed even by Megyn Kelly (who looks like she could star in a re-make of "Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS"). And his "dictator" remarks are so obviously dangerous that even Peter Baker and The New York Times noticed - and the Trump campaign is trying to get him to ix-nay the ictatorship-day. B-Block (20:00) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Their political grandfathers wanted to appease Hitler and give him England and the Jews. Today's GOP is meeting with representatives of Hungarian strongman Orban to try to appease Putin and give him Ukraine and NATO. (24:37) IN SPORTS: Shohei Ohtani is both selfless and selfish. He will defer $68 million a year of his $70 million salary, giving his new Dodger employers a huge break in the baseball "luxury tax" - and himself on the real California state tax. And what happened to that Ohtani-To-Toronto story? My bet, from having seen it occur to another brilliant sports reporter, is that Jon Paul Morosi didn't screw up; his source did - or lied to him. I'll tell you the Jim Lampley/Larry Brown story. And I'll SING ABOUT MOROSI AND OHTANI. (34:31) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Vivek Ramaswamy's most cogent statement ever: leaves the mike on during a bathroom break. Climate deniers will get to watch another previously unconsidered disaster unfold. And Nancy Mace and her fiancé broke up? A class dame like her what talks about morning sex at a prayer breakfast? c-Block (39:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: You are welcome to skip this, but I found a cassette over the weekend. It is a bunch of sportscasts recorded the week of my 18th birthday. The voice is high, the predictions are startlingly good. As are the cameos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
