In “Spilling the Tea in the Mississippi Pine Belt” Gravy reporter Georgia Sparling explores the tea farms popping up in Mississippi's Pine Belt, where the tannic soil is perfect for growing tea. While many think of strong, syrupy sweet, ice-cold tea as quintessentially Southern, the only thing truly Southern about this ubiquitous beverage is how we drink it. Almost every tea leaf we consume in the United States comes from somewhere else.   Tea has been cultivated for more than 5,000 years, first in China and now in India, Nepal, Kenya, and even Argentina. Mississippi, though, seemed unlikely. The tea plant, Chinese camellia, tends to thrive in inhospitable places, such as mountains and hillsides. While the Pine Belt can certainly be inhospitable with its three-digit-degree summers, tornadoes, and dry spells, it's a wildly different climate than where most tea is grown. The soil, however, was just right for the acid-loving plants, which are known to adapt to their circumstances.   Still, much was unknown when The Great Mississippi Tea Company in Brookhaven and the Longleaf Tea Company in Laurel planted their first crops in 2011 and 2018, respectively. Tea is a long-term investment. It takes three to five years for the plants to become established and ready for harvest. After that, they can live for a century or more—that is, if they survive. Both farms experienced heavy losses during their first seasons of planting. Great Mississippi lost all four acres of their initial crop, while Longleaf lost 300 of their first 1,000 saplings.   But they replanted, and today these small but mighty farms have not only taken root but they are thriving. Great Mississippi and Longleaf are finding that not only do tea plants have a taste for Mississippi soil, but Mississippians (and beyond) have a taste for the delicate and complex flavors of Southern grown tea. Georgia Sparling visits these farms and learns what it takes to grow a perfect cup of tea. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Host Andrew Camp interviews Hugh Hollowell, pastor of Open Door Mennonite Church in Jackson, Mississippi and author of the memoir-essay collection Food Is Love, about how food and tables reveal God's love, shape memory, and build connection. Hollowell calls the Last Supper his most compelling Christian story, arguing meals are intimate, mnemonic, and inherently communal, and that communion is scandalous because it includes people who fail us. He discusses Southern foodways, the Great Migration's use of cooking to preserve home, and a long conversation about sweet potatoes with Senator Roger Wicker as an example of food humanizing opponents. They critique privileged food moralism amid Jackson's food deserts and poverty, describe how “bad” celebratory foods and enslaved people's ingenuity became valued cuisines, and frame cooking and writing about food as acts of care and political resistance. They close with reflections on church as support for weekday discipleship, lingering meals as welcome, and Hollowell's favorite foods and stories.Hugh Hollowell is a sixth generation Mississippian and is the pastor of Open Door Mennonite Church in Jackson, MS – a multiracial peace church formed in the aftermath of the Civil Rights movement. He is a writer and storyteller and has been the publisher of a weekly newsletter called Life is So Beautiful for more than a decade. Before becoming pastor at Open Door, Hugh spent 12 years working as a pastor among unhoused people and those struggling with addictions. This taught him much of what he knows about both second chances and grace, but not much that is useful at denominational meetings. He and his spouse Renee live in the Fondren neighborhood of Jackson, where they run a small scale kitten rescue and co-parent five house cats and seven chickens.Hugh's website: hughhollowell.orgFollow Andrew CampFacebook: andrew.camp.9Instagram: @andrewcamp80Substack: @thebiggesttableThis episode of the Biggest Table is brought to you in part by Wild Goose Coffee.

Retired biologist Mark LaSalle joins the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast to talk about something almost every Mississippian has wondered — how do you get more hummingbirds in your yard?Mark explains which native plants attract hummingbirds and why they work better than feeders alone: cross vine, red buckeye, coral honeysuckle, coral bean, trumpet creeper, cardinal flower, and salvias. He talks about when hummingbirds arrive in Mississippi, why they return to the same yards year after year, and what most people don't know — that 80% of a hummingbird's diet is insects, not nectar.He also breaks down the one key rule for native plants: get them through the first year, and they'll largely take care of themselves after that. Good episode for anyone with a yard, a feeder, or a curious neighbor who keeps getting all the hummingbirds. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

MDWFP biologist Martin Coker joins the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast to explain something most Mississippians have never thought about — the difference between a nuisance animal and a fur bearer species, and why that distinction matters for how they're managed.Martin breaks down which animals fall into each category, why wild hogs can be taken year-round while bobcats and river otters have a regulated season, and why the stretch between deer and turkey season is actually a great window for hog management. He also talks about how CITES tags work, why muskrats have been rebranded as "marsh hare" in some markets, how raccoon calls are increasing as suburban areas expand, and why you need to remove nearly 80% of a hog population annually just to hold it steady.

As we barrel towards July 4th, Trump wants the celebration of our country's 250th anniversary to be not only about him but also about America as a white republic. But this diverse nation needs to speak up and speak back loudly to drown out that MAGA messaging. In his new book, Glaude lays out the inherent contradiction of America's milestone anniversaries, starting with the one in 1876. Plus, black Mississippians are aiming to top Obama-era turnout numbers, Trump has a pathetic need to be worshipped, and the MMA fight at the White House perfectly encapsulates the decline of seriousness in this country.

While we commemorate 250 years of American History, we're reminded of the people and stories who were here before the establishment of the United States. For this conversation, we're joined by Dr. Angela Cooper, Site Services Specialist at Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site, to discuss a place that was once one of the biggest civilizations in North America, home to the Mississippian people and the largest pre-Columbian earthworks in the Americas. 

In this episode, the team discusses a new paper on why Clovis hunter/gatherers selected certain types of stone for their points and blades. Then the team welcomes archaeologist Scott Ashcraft to discuss his complex federal whistleblower case against the U.S. Forest Service.  Scott Ashcraft attended Western Carolina University, earning a degree in Physical Geography. In the summer of 1989, he was hired for a major archaeological excavation ahead of the construction of a new elementary school within the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians' Qualla Boundary.   After graduating from WCU in 1990, Ashcraft immediately enrolled in a University of North Carolina-Charlotte field school at a large WNC Mississippian site. Over the next three years, Ashcraft worked on a variety of archaeological contract projects from Mobile, AL, to New York City. During occasional work breaks, he returned to Asheville, NC, to assist Dr. David Moore with large salvage excavations at Mississippian town sites across western North Carolina. In 1993, Ashcraft was hired by the USFS (NFsNC), beginning a 32-year CRM career that eventually broadened to include complementary research and investigative interests.  In 1994, Ashcraft founded the North Carolina Rock Art Project, eventually increasing the state's recorded petroglyph and pictograph sites from seven to more than 120. He also advanced major rock art conservation efforts, including Judaculla Rock—the most densely carved petroglyph in the eastern U.S.—and Paint Rock, among the region's oldest pictograph sites. Another primary career passion for Ashcraft was Wildfire Archaeology, a specialized field he helped pioneer by integrating archaeologists into active wildfire operations to assess and protect important cultural resources. This position required intensive firefighter training and physical conditioning so that archaeologists could play an active role in protecting significant sites during the often chaotic initial attack phase of fire conditions.  As the specialty matured, Ashcraft was invited to co-instruct the National Interagency Fire Archaeology Course over several years. Working closely with Tribal partners—especially the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians—was among the most meaningful aspects of his later career, including many collaborative projects important to the Cherokee.  Seven Ages Official Site  Seven Ages Official Merchandise  Instagram  Facebook  Patreon  Seven Ages YouTube  News Link Why did Clovis toolmakers choose difficult quartz crystal?   Guest Links Scott Ashcraft  Scott Ashcraft Go Fund Me

Much of Middle Tennessee's important Native American history has been disturbed by development.This has prompted listeners like Kelly Cannon to wonder what's been lost.

In this unforgettable story on The Clay Edwards Show, Clay recounts the legendary day the Westboro Baptist Church rolled into Brandon, Mississippi — and quickly learned what happens when you bring your hate to the South Side of the Kingdom. Back in 2011, the notorious group announced they were coming to protest the funeral of fallen U.S. Marine Jason Rogers, a hometown hero killed in Afghanistan. What they didn't count on was a town full of proud Mississippians who weren't about to let that stand. Clay details how locals spotted the church vans at a Brandon gas station, how a few good ol' boys delivered a swift “ass whoopin'” right there in the parking lot, and how the group was later blocked in at their hotel while authorities “checked for warrants.” The result? A homemade Mississippi blueprint for shutting down Westboro protests that spread nationwide — and the church never showed up at another Mississippi funeral again. Clay also paints the emotional picture of the funeral procession: tens of thousands of people lining Highway 80 from the airport all the way through town, Brandon Fire Department trucks dropping a massive American flag over the intersection, and an outpouring of respect that still chokes him up to this day. Raw, unfiltered, and full of Mississippi pride — this is the true story of how one small Southern town told the Westboro Baptist Church exactly where they could stick their protest. FAFO at its finest.

Much of Middle Tennessee's important Native American history has been disturbed by development.This has prompted listeners like Kelly Cannon to wonder what's been lost. She asked Curious Nashville about something she'd heard about the Brentwood Library:"A colleague recently told me that when the Brentwood Library was built remains were found of ancient Mississippian people, along with evidence of ancient mounds. Is this true? Where were the bodies moved to? Who took responsibility for the remains?"WPLN's Cynthia Abrams went to find the history of that site and shares the story — and its connections to other local sites, and the national movement for repatriation.We'll also talk to a ProPublica reporter about her reporting for 'The Repatriation Project' and the federal law that requires remains and artifacts to be returned to tribes — as well as the failure of institutions to do so. We also welcome Tom Kunesh, who is working to protect Native American sites across Tennessee.Guests:  Mary Hudetz, Investigative Reporter for ProPublica Tom Kunesh, President of Tennessee Ancient Sites Conservancy

Curbside recycling in New Orleans may soon disappear. Mayor Helena Moreno floated the possibility of eliminating it as a potential cost-saving measure to help deal with a massive budget deficit.

We sit down with MONAH Executive Director Jazlyn Sanderson to explore how a museum in Bentonville threads 24,000 years of Indigenous history into the present through art, archaeology, and living partnerships that honor descendant communities. The journey centers on the Spiro Mounds, a Mississippian cultural powerhouse in present-day Oklahoma. Jazlyn guides us through the material evidence: shell dippers etched with regalia, woodpecker effigy axes, and a sacred warrior pipe that arrived through a careful collaboration with the University of Arkansas and the Caddo Nation. Jazlyn describes the scale-- 574 federally recognized tribes in the U.S. We also share how MONAH meets learners of all ages with field trips, reimagined audio guides, family tours, and a monthly newsletter that spotlights artifacts and contemporary Indigenous creators.

In the final segment of Episode #1,155 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards welcomes State Representative Fred Shanks (District 60, Brandon) for the weekly "Under the Dome" update from the Mississippi Capitol. With legislative deadline week wrapping up, they dive into key developments, including the Senate's tabling of the ballot initiative bill—effectively killing it due to fears of out-of-state "dark money" influencing issues like abortion, marijuana legalization, and more. Fred explains the challenges of protecting Mississippi from well-funded external groups (e.g., from California or New York) that could exploit the process through intermediaries, while noting the rarity of successful initiatives in the state (citing past ones like eminent domain and voter ID). They also touch on the risks of embedding policies in the state constitution and encourage listeners to contact their reps directly for change in a republic system. The chat briefly nods to recent House progress on liquor laws, like potential Sunday sales for stores, highlighting inconsistencies in current regulations. It's a concise, insightful look at state politics, emphasizing grassroots involvement and safeguards against outside agendas—essential listening for Mississippians tracking Capitol drama!

Join Clay Edwards for a jaw-dropping segment from Episode #1148 of The Clay Edwards Show, where he uncovers explosive allegations from the Epstein files tying directly to Mississippi's Piney Woods School. Drawing from a post by local figure Josias Lucas, Clay breaks down claims of Epstein funding tuition for students at the historic African American boarding school, frequent visits by kids to Epstein's infamous St. James Island, and suspicious financial "loans" to parents—all happening in 2018, just before Epstein's 2019 arrest. He connects the dots to a rumored local scandal involving a murdered instructor at Piney Woods and calls out potential involvement of powerful Mississippians like former Senator Trent Lott, plus bizarre references to biohacking and gene editing. Clay demands investigations from Attorney General Lynn Fitch and law enforcement, urging listeners to dig deeper and hold officials accountable.

In episode #1139 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards delivers a fiery breakdown of Mississippi's bold new push against illegal immigration, spotlighting Senate Bill 2329—the Mississippi Glacier Act. Sponsored by Senator Michael McClendon from North Mississippi, this groundbreaking legislation creates the state's first grant program to supercharge ICE enforcement by reimbursing local sheriffs and police for teaming up under federal 287(g) laws. Clay explains how it covers real costs like detention beds, gear, training, travel, and more, declaring, "Mississippi ain't gonna act like illegal immigration is somebody else's headache—if you're here illegally, we're shipping you back."   Amid warnings of a potential "catastrophic ice storm" this weekend, Clay ties the bill to protecting taxpayers from the drain of housing illegals, freeing up funds for better equipment, more deputies, and fixing roads that actually matter to Mississippians. He urges listeners to call their senators and demand passage of SB 2329, set to kick in July 2026 if approved. Plus, personal stories on life lessons, generational rants, and unfiltered takes on culture wars round out the show.   Strap in for raw, no-holds-barred talk radio that fights for the soul of America and Mississippi.

On September 10, 1910, Thomas Scott Baldwin flew over St. Louis, thrilling 200,000 onlookers along the Mississippi River. That moment of early flight — and many others — is at the heart of Edward McPherson's new book, “Look Out: The Delight and Danger of Taking the Long View.” The Washington University professor writes about aerial photography, long-distance mapping and how seeing from above shapes power, privilege and perspective. The book is rooted in St. Louis, relaying stories about the Mississippian people in present-day Collinsville and the aerial surveillance of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

The Traditional first week of November rut was foreign to me until I actually hunted the Midwest. As a resident Mississippian, that hallowed week looks a lot like the month of October. Unless we get a cold front, temps might even reach the mid-80s. For me and my southern counterparts, New Year's Day typically aligns with peak rut activity. Of course, the South is a weird place, and that includes deer hunting. Depending on where you're at, you...

Long before European contact, the city of Cahokia near modern-day St. Louis was home to a powerful Mississippian civilization.
