Podcasts about Mississippi Delta

In this episode, we dive back into the film Sinners, not just as a movie, but as a cultural reckoning. We're breaking down how the film tells a deeper story about Black American folklife, Blues culture, and the enduring legacy of Blues People. This time, we're not just exploring themes; we're getting into the characters, the plot, and the ways they reveal the real-life struggle between tradition and transformation.Rather than just reviewing the film, we're asking why Sinners matters. It's not just entertainment, it's a bold statement about what it means to be a Blues person in a world where survival, spirituality, and cultural memory are constantly tested. We'll explore how the film reflects critical ideas like Blues Ecology, Clyde Woods' Development Arrested, and the legacy of the Plantation Complex. We'll also look at how the film's portrayal of Black womanhood, feminism, and colorism challenges or reinforces cultural narratives.Big Bill Broonzy's legacy will be front and center as we examine how his words and music resonate with the film's themes. As Broonzy once said, “They don't like the idea of hearing the old original way it went because it's said to carry them back to the horse and buggy days, and slavery time, and they don't want to think about that.” Just like his music, Sinners forces us to confront the past and ask hard questions about what's been lost and what survives, and how Ryan Cooger brings to life this visual story of Blues People, Blues Folk Belief, and Blues Culture of the time!We'll also dig into the cultural intersections of the Mississippi Delta, how Irish, Chinese, Black, and Afro-Indigenous communities shaped the Blues tradition. And we'll make connections to other cultural works like August Wilson's plays, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, and Crossroads, exploring how each handles the intersection of performance, truth, and storytelling.To break it all down, I'm joined by Dr. Langston Collin Wilkins and Dr. Elisha Oliver, whose insights into Black folklore and cultural memory will help us unpack the film's deeper layers.This episode isn't just a conversation; it's a call to think critically about how Black life and Blues culture are represented and remembered. Tune in for a cultural reckoning where the Blues itself gets to testify.

Rebekah Nowell: The Gift of Grief | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this deeply moving episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, guest Rebekah Nowell shares her extraordinary journey of resilience, healing, and transformation through profound trauma, addiction, and grief. Raised in the Mississippi Delta within a missionary family, Rebekah recounts a childhood shaped by her parents' calling to serve abandoned children in Central America, where she lived in Costa Rica and Honduras until her teens. Her life took a devastating turn in December 2012 with the tragic loss of her two-year-old son, Brennan, in an accident involving her father, triggering a decade-long struggle with cocaine, alcohol, and unprocessed trauma from childhood molestation and eating disorders. A pivotal moment in April 2023 marked the beginning of her recovery, as she quit cocaine cold turkey, pursued accelerated resolution therapy, grief counseling, and later achieved 16 months of sobriety from alcohol by 2025, despite facing significant health challenges like low iron and gastrointestinal issues. Guided by faith and a supportive recovery community, Rebekah now dedicates her life to reaching women secretly grappling with addiction, particularly those hiding their pain behind a polished facade in places like Orange County. Her recitation of the “Holes” poem by Scott Lewis beautifully encapsulates her journey from despair to purpose, emphasizing the power of safe spaces to heal shame and inspire hope. This episode is a testament to the strength found in vulnerability and the universal connection forged through shared pain.#TheHopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover  #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #RecoveryIsPossible #Hope #wedorecover Join our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Follow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsBuy Merch: https://thehopeaholics.myshopify.comVisit our Treatment Centers: https://www.hopebythesea.comIf you or a loved one needs help, please call or text 949-615-8588.

Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, this week with special guest Lee Murkey, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released every second Saturday at 6pm GMT, with the occasional bonus episode between them. This week, Ryan Coogler's Sinners. Twin brothers Smoke and Stack return to the Mississippi Delta from Chicago, bringing with them money and booze. The duo plan to open a juke joint for the local community, and set about preparing for the launch. Little do the pair realise that something sinister is stalking through the night, lurching towards their speakeasy, drawn by the siren call of the blues. At time of recording, it was not ranked on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.

Jeff and Phil welcome Dolly Li, documentary filmmaker, journalist and cultural consultant on Ryan Coogler's epic vampire blockbuster Sinners. They discuss Dolly's documentary on The Untold Story of America's Southern Chinese, and the deep-rooted origins of the Mississippi Delta's Chinese American community; how Ryan Coogler's own family connection to the Delta Chinese inspired the Chinese characters in Sinners; and how Dolly worked with the filmmakers to make the movie historically accurate and authentic as possible -- right down to that one horny line of Chinese dialogue. And of course, they offer their own hot takes on Sinners.

Happy Mother's Day! We have a guest today! Join me and Deviln for an hour discussing the movie “Sinners”, a vampire thriller set in the 1932 Mississippi Delta. Spoilers ahead!

"Sinners" (2025) is a period piece which spirals from slow-burn drama, into a vampire bloodbath in vain of Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez's 'From Dusk Till Dawn in its second half, and has taken the box office by storm since its release this April.Marking the third collaboration between Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan, and set in the sweltering atmosphere of the Mississippi Delta of the 1930's, Jordan plays dual roles as identical twin brothers caught in a web of family, guilt, and death.In this special truncated episode, we unpack how Coogler and Jordan continue to raise the bar, and if this film will leave a lasting legacy, or be lost in the shuffle of countless releases that will hit the market before Awards Season.Send us a textThank you for listening!

Mike and Kenny review and spot faith reflected in the latest film from writer / director Ryan Coogler which stars Michael B. Jordon in dual roles as Elijah "Smoke" and Elias "Stack" Moore, twin brothers returning from a mysterious time Chicago to their Mississippi Delta home town to start again. Set in the 1930's "Smoke" and "Stack," flush with cash and mystery on how they made it, seek to start again by opening a Juke Joint for the black community in their town.  Amidst the challenges they were expecting such as from the Klan, their biggest threat is supernatural evil.    Faith Spotted: The destructive power of temptation and greed, whether for riches, power, influence, or eternal life. Although sin and the brokenness of the world impact all of creation, people have freedom and choose to invite or let sin and unrighteousness into their lives. As taught in Scripture, God offers people the freedom to accept relationship with, and righteousness of, God. Likewise people choose to accept or invite sin/the Devil into their lives, rather than it invading or taking over.  Life outside the grace and love of God is not a blessing but a burden that imprisons the body and destroys one's spirit.  The film depicts the teaching of Jesus in Matthew 10:28 that one should not fear that which can kill only the body, but fear that which kills the soul.  The vampire /Dracula mythology and symbolism that dates back thousands of years depicts the struggle of evil against good.  The place and role of music in black culture and the black church.

Sinners is the fifth feature film written and directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan. (Coogler has never made a feature without Jordan.) After years of sequels and Marvel movies, it’s Coogler’s first wholly original movie based on no other source material whatsoever. Sinners is a sexy Southern musical horror gangster thriller set in 1932 in the Mississippi Delta. With vampires. And it’s the No. 1 movie in the country. Plus: We read Jill Lepore’s New Yorker piece about reading a Penguin Classic on each of the first 100 days of President Trump’s second term. And then a Vox piece about giving up Spotify. And we started thinking about the ways that we’re all consuming culture — avoiding or giving up some things, immersing ourselves in other things, etc. — in these, let’s say, anxious times.

Send us a textA stunning achievement in genre filmmaking, "Sinners" transports us to the Mississippi Delta of 1932 where twin brothers find themselves caught between supernatural evil and the harsh realities of Jim Crow America. Ryan Coogler's masterful direction elevates what could have been a standard vampire tale into something truly extraordinary – a rich, textured exploration of brotherhood, community, and survival against impossible odds.Michael B. Jordan delivers what might be his career-best performance, portraying twins Smoke and Stack with such distinct personalities that you'll forget you're watching one actor in dual roles. The brothers return to their hometown with dreams of uplifting their community through music and business, only to face threats both supernatural and all-too-human. When Irish vampire Jack O'Connell arrives with his coven, promising eternal life but demanding blood sacrifice, the brothers must decide what they're willing to sacrifice to protect their people.Shot on breathtaking 70mm IMAX by cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw (the first woman to use this camera format), every frame feels like a painting that deserves to be studied. The film embraces darkness in ways few mainstream movies dare, creating a visual language that enhances both the horror elements and the historical setting. Ludwig Göransson's blues-infused score weaves throughout, becoming as essential to the storytelling as the dialogue itself.What makes "Sinners" truly special is how it refuses to be contained by genre expectations. Coogler seamlessly blends horror, drama, action, and even musical elements without ever losing focus on the emotional core of his story. The supporting cast shines throughout – Haley Steinfeld brings fire and strength, newcomer Miles Catton impresses in his debut, and Delroy Lindo delivers gravitas as Delta Slim. Yuami Masuku's portrayal of a hoodoo practitioner adds another layer to this richly textured world.Don't miss this landmark film that critics are calling the most original and exciting theatrical experience of the year. See it in IMAX if possible – your eyes, ears, and heart will thank you.Support the show

Wright Thompson grew up in Clarksdale, Mississippi, before going on to write for ESPN, The Atlantic, and the New York Times, among other publications. In 2018, he created the travel documentary show, TrueSouth, which is now in its 8th season on the SEC Network; and in 2020, he came out with a terrific book called Pappyland: A Story of Family, Fine Bourbon, and the Things That Last. Wright's latest book, The Barn: The Secret History of a Murder in Mississippi, examines the lasting impact and legacy of the Emmett Till murder, as well as the extraordinary efforts by some to obscure or distort the facts. It's one of the best books I've read in a long time, incredibly well researched and reported, and told with the insights that only a Mississippian could bring to the story. Sid talks to Wright about the remarkable journey of Emmett Till's cousin, Wheeler Parker, who was there the night of the abduction; the strong connection between the Mississippi Delta and Chicago; and why it took so many decades for the secrets of this horrendous crime to come to light.

Growing up in a small Mississippi Delta town where church choirs shaped his musical foundation, Trea's journey from writing emotional poems about his grandmother to founding Next World Fitness reflects the powerful intersection of artistic passion and physical discipline.Trea recognizes a critical truth most fitness professionals miss: artists, musicians, and entertainers face unique wellness challenges. Constantly on the road, subjected to irregular schedules, and literally using their bodies as instruments of their craft, performers need specialized approaches to fitness that traditional gym routines simply can't provide.

The Black Legacy Project is a musical celebration of Black history to advance racial solidarity, equity, and belonging. It is a national project produced by Music in Common -- a nonprofit that strengthens, empowers, and connects communities through the universal language -- in partnership with community stakeholders at the local level. Developed in summer 2020 and launched in September 2021, the Black Legacy Project travels the U.S., bringing together Black and White artists and artists of ALL backgrounds to record present day interpretations of songs central to the Black American experience and compose originals relevant to the pressing calls for change of our time. Community roundtable discussions help inform how these songs are interpreted and written. The project has launched with week-long residencies in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts, Atlanta, Los Angeles, the Mississippi Delta, Denver, the Arkansas Ozarks, and Boise. A feature-length documentary film and seven-part docuseries are in production, highlighting the project and some of the many places it has traveled to. Two albums, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, feature 24 songs reimagined, written, and recorded in the project.

In many ways, modern American engineering was born on the Mississippi. In the early days of westward expansion, the continent's largest river basin presented both a vital resource for transportation, biodiversity and agricultural production and a complicated barrier.  The Army Corps of Engineers was founded in 1802, a year before the Louisiana Purchase. By the mid-1800s, Congress charged the Corps with improving transportation on the river to support the nation's burgeoning steamboat industry and riverine settlements. Military-trained engineers were enlisted to control the river, using brute force technology, into a predictable path to prevent flooding of communities and stabilize water levels for travel.  In the new book, The Great River: The Making and Unmaking of the Mississippi, award-winning investigative journalist Boyce Upholt questions the logic of believing it possible—or ideal—to control one of the world's largest and most powerful rivers for centuries. Taking a holistic and geologic view of the landscape, Boyce describes how the Mississippi River has continually changed paths over millennia and why this is necessary to the health of the entire delta, especially in a changing climate.  The book offers insight into the power and the fragility of many of the ecosystems on which we rely. Listen in as Ten Across founder Duke Reiter and Boyce Upholt discuss the intersections of the built and the natural environments, and the complexities of maintaining habitable places within essential yet hazardous geographies.  Relevant articles and resources:  Read more from Boyce:  Southlands newsletter  “Is the ‘Age of the Delta' Coming to an End?” (Knowable Magazine, 2023)  “The Controversial Plan to Unleash the Mississippi” (Hakai + WIRED, 2022)  “A Killing Season” (Winner of the 2019 James Beard Award for Investigative Journalism, The New Republic, 2018)  Learn more about the Mississippi Delta:  “Want to Understand the Future of U.S. Climate Resilience?

Sign Up for the Boston Listener Meet Up Joe Boyd was there when Dylan went electric, when Pink Floyd was born, and when Paul Simon brought Graceland to the world. But far from being just another music industry insider, Boyd has spent decades exploring how the world's musical traditions connect and transform each other. His new book And the Roots of Rhythm Remain, is seventeen years in the making, and is in Tyler's words “the most substantive, complete, thorough, and well-informed book on world music ever written.” From producing Albanian folk recordings to discovering the hidden links between Mississippi Delta blues and Indian classical music, Boyd's journey reveals how musical innovation often emerges when traditions collide. He joins Tyler to discuss why Zulu music became politically charged in South Africa, what makes Albanian choral music distinct from Bulgarian polyphony, what it was like producing Toots and the Maytals, his role in the famous "Dueling Banjos" scene in Deliverance, his work with Stanley Kubrick on A Clockwork Orange, his experiences with Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd, how he shaped R.E.M.'s sound on Fables of the Reconstruction, what really happened when Dylan went electric at Newport, how the Beatles integrated Indian music, what makes the Kinshasa guitar sound impossible to replicate, and how he maintains his collection of 6,000 vinyl LPs and 30,000 CDs, what he'll do next, and more.

In this powerful and dynamic episode of the Archetypal Tarot Podcast, host Cyndera welcomes Stacey Williams-Ng, the visionary artist behind the Rhythm & Soul Tarot. This groundbreaking deck bridges the worlds of tarot and music, offering a unique and deeply spiritual perspective on both. Drawing from her Southern roots and a lifelong love for music, Stacey introduces us to a deck that channels the essence of four foundational American music genres—Blues, Jazz, Rock & Roll, and Country—into each suit, bringing a fresh, soulful energy to the cards. Stacey and Cyndera's conversation is visited by brilliant song clips from a few of the cards (there is a Spotify playlist to go with entire deck).   Stacey takes us behind the scenes of her creative process, where Southern history, family legacies, and her rich musical heritage converge to form a tarot deck unlike any other. From the deep, heart-wrenching blues of the Mississippi Delta to the rebellious energy of rock and roll, Rhythm & Soul Tarot brings a musical cadence to tarot readings, pairing each card with a song that resonates with its energy. Stacey even introduces two new Major Arcana cards, Rhythm and Soul, which embody spiritual depth and cultural significance (these cards are optional depending on how traditionally you approach tarot).   But this episode is more than just about the artistry of a tarot deck—it's a reflection on the power of music, culture, and spirituality to heal and transform. As we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we are reminded that the fight for justice in the American South is deeply tied to both personal and collective stories of resistance and resilience. Born in the heart of the South, King's vision of justice was shaped by the region's painful history—one marked by racial oppression, segregation, and systemic inequality—but also by a powerful spirit of resistance, unity, and transformation. King's call for a "beloved community" wasn't just an abstract ideal. It was a vision born out of the complexities and contradictions of Southern history—where the struggle for justice was intertwined with music, culture, and a shared desire for a better, more equitable future. The same spirit of resistance that fueled the civil rights marches, the sit-ins, and the fight for voting rights also echoes in the music that shaped the South—blues, jazz, and rock all carried messages of freedom, defiance, and hope. In this context, justice becomes more than just a legal or political term. It's about confronting the painful truths of the South's legacy of racial violence and inequality, while moving toward a future where dignity and opportunity are not just ideals, but lived realities for all. King's vision of justice was never about simply dismantling oppressive systems—it was about building bridges of understanding, compassion, and love. He knew that true justice could only be achieved through nonviolent resistance and a collective commitment to reconciliation, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. As we reflect on King's work and vision on this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we honor not only his legacy but the ongoing journey toward justice in the South and across the nation. Whether through music, tarot, or the power of community, we are reminded that justice is not a destination—it is a journey that requires each of us to confront our past, challenge the present, and envision a future where equality and love reign. Join us for this heartfelt and thought-provoking conversation, where tarot, music, and history come together to inspire us to continue the fight for justice—because the path toward a beloved community begins with us, together.

Wright Thompson grew up in the Mississippi Delta, unaware that his family farm was just 23 miles away from the barn where 14 year old Emmett Till was murdered in 1955. When writing The Barn, Wright had to take a look at the place he had always known as home with fresh eyes and courageously uncover the details of Emmett's tragic story that had been buried for decades. In today's episode, Wright and Ryan continue their conversation about Emmett Till's legacy, the complexity of American history, why it's important to know where you come from, and the responsibility of preserving Emmett's story.

Anne Frank and Martin Luther King Junior were born in the same year. The last known widow of a Civil War veteran lived to see Barack Obama become the first African-American President. Emmett Till would be the same age as Neil Diamond, Martha Stewart, and Bob Dylan in 2024 if he was not brutally tortured and murdered in 1955. Facts like these remind us that history is not as far away as we think it is. Wright Thompson, is a Senior Writer at ESPN and author of The Cost of These Dreams, Pappyland, and most recently, The Barn, which uncovers the real story of Emmett Till's murder in the Mississippi Delta. Wright joins Ryan to talk about the impact of cognitive dissonance, how political rhetoric has shaped racial violence, why history is closer than we think, the rise and fall of the cotton boom, and what it was like for Wright to learn the truth about Emmett Till's story.
