Podcasts about Southern

"Today on The Oyster Ninja Podcast, we're heading down to the Gulf—deep in the heart of Texas—to sit down with a crew that's helping redefine what Southern oysters look like. I'm talking about David from Oyster Bros, out of Palacios, Texas. These guys aren't new to the water—they're true to it. Third-generation shrimpers who made the bold transition from shrimping into oyster mariculture, and now they're leading the charge in one of the fastest-growing oyster regions in the country. You can find Oyster Bros oysters not just across Texas, but making their way through the Southeast—Georgia, Florida—and even up to the Big Apple. So today, we're getting into legacy, risk, innovation, and what it really takes to build an oyster brand from the Gulf up. Let's get into it."

This edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with a Total Celebrity conversation with WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley about his book Saint Mick: My Journey from Hardcore Legend to Santa's Jolly Elf. Neil, a former pro wrestler himself, thanked Foley for once steering him toward promoter Bert Prentice and the independent circuit early in his own career. Foley reflected on a run that exceeded even his own expectations, from grinding out a 58-minute match in front of just 25 people in Jonesboro, Arkansas, to stardom in WCW and the WWF, and shared the lesson that it is not the size of the crowd but the impact you have on the people in the room. That same conviction, he said, drives his six years portraying Santa Claus, and he told a moving story about a Christmas Eve visit to a young cancer patient on Long Island, whose transformation he ranked among the finest moments of his career. Foley explained that he wrote the book himself, partly for his children, and credited Stephanie McMahon with convincing him the offbeat, touching Christmas tale could reach beyond wrestling fans. He previewed his 20 Years of Hell tour, built around bringing that infamous match back to life. Find him at realmickfoley.com.Neil then turned to a J Len Sciuto Show simulcast, where the retired Coast Guard officer and thriller author offered his own geopolitical analysis, opening, as he noted, with a disclaimer that it is opinion and discussion drawn from public reporting rather than settled fact. He walked through his reading of tensions around Iran's nuclear program and a fortified mountain site near the Natanz facility, the risk of the Houthis widening the conflict, and the military scenarios he fears could follow, while also touching the Abraham Accords, the long U.S. history of regime-change operations, and rising oil prices. Drawing on 36 years in the Coast Guard, he tied the themes to his bestselling submarine thriller Hades Crypt and a coming sequel, Desperate Countermeasures, noting that a large share of his book royalties supports junior enlisted service members. Reach him at jlenscuto.com.Neil then welcomed the legendary Suzanne Somers, author of Two's Company: A 50-Year Romance with Lessons Learned in Love, Life, and Business. Somers shared the story of meeting her husband, Canadian television star Alan Hamel, on a San Francisco game-show set, and of a partnership so close the two have not spent a night apart in decades while also running a business together. She recounted her rise on Three's Company, being fired after seeking pay equal to the men on the number-one show, and the smear campaign that followed, then how she and Hamel refused to dwell on what she had lost and instead branded Suzanne Somers, from the ThighMaster to headlining Las Vegas. Her throughline was simple: problems do not define you, how you respond to them does, and the goal is to turn setbacks into opportunities. Find her at SuzanneSomers.com.The hour closes with actor and director Mario Van Peebles on Syfy's Superstition, in which he writes, directs, produces, and stars alongside his daughter Morgana. Van Peebles described growing up in the Van Peebles independent-film family as an apprenticeship in every job on a set, from cables and lighting to directing, so that wearing many hats now feels natural. He pitched Superstition as the story of a loving Southern family in the funeral business, running the Hastings Funeral Home, who battle demons rising as humanity does more damage to the planet, each episode built around a different piece of Gothic Americana. He shared bits of his father Melvin's wisdom, that luck is preparation meeting opportunity, and that it is not what you face but how you face it that reveals you. Find Mick Foley's Saint Mick and Suzanne Somers' Two's Company in bookstores, Jay Len Sciuto at jlenscuto.com, and Mario Van Peebles on Superstition.

Some of the earliest canals in colonial America, referred to as the Inner Passage, were constructed by enslaved people living in the Lowcountry of South Carolina in the early 1700s. In a paradox of history, for over a hundred years enslaved Black people used these canals, constructed for white plantation owners, to travel southward to freedom in Spanish Florida. In The Inner Passage: An Untold Story of Black Resistance Along a Southern Waterway (MIT Press, 2026), Virginia McGee Richards documents the lost narrative of the Inner Passage through 60 extraordinary photographs of landscapes altered by slavery and portraits of Lowcountry descendants, along with an essay describing her discovery of this untold history. In an accompanying essay, Imani Perry writes about her own journey on the Inner Passage, putting Black resistance to enslavement and Southern history into an immediate context. James Estrin brings decades of insight about photography and the power of visual storytelling to his affecting foreword. Together, these words and images offer a powerful living map of history.

Cate Blanchett plays a widowed Georgia fortune teller who reads cards to keep her family afloat and gets pulled into a murder when a local woman (Katie Holmes) goes missing. Giovanni Ribisi, Keanu Reeves, Hilary Swank, and Greg Kinnear round out a stacked Southern-gothic ensemble.The three dig into Raimi working in a minor key between the Evil Dead films and Spider-Man, Blanchett anchoring a lurid pulp thriller with total conviction, the movie's very year-2000 ideas about class and the South, and the simple pleasure of a mid-budget, star-packed genre picture that basically nobody makes anymore.

The year 1970 stands as a monumental chapter in the annals of American football, encapsulating a series of transformative events that irrevocably altered the landscape of the sport. This episode meticulously examines these pivotal shifts, particularly highlighting the remarkable resurgence of George Blanda, a quarterback whose age-defying performance at the age of 43 not only astonished fans but also earned him the prestigious title of Male Athlete of the Year. Furthermore, we delve into the inception of Monday Night Football, a groundbreaking television phenomenon that commenced on September 18, 1970, captivating audiences and setting the stage for a new era in sports broadcasting. Alongside these narratives, we explore the profound impacts of desegregation in college football, exemplified by USC's historic victory over Alabama, which significantly influenced the dynamics of Southern football. As we traverse through these compelling stories, we invite our audience to reflect on the enduring legacy of the 1970 season, a year that truly changed the course of football history.Don't forget to check out and subscribe to the Pigskin Dispatch YouTube channel for additional content and the regular Football History Minute Shorts.Miss our football by the day of the year podcasts, well, don't, because they can still be found at the Pigskin Dispatch website.

The 1970 American football season is a pivotal chapter in the history of the sport, characterized by transcendent achievements and transformative changes that reverberate through the annals of football lore. The advent of Monday Night Football on September 18, 1970, represented a seismic shift in how the game was consumed by the public. This inaugural broadcast, featuring the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns, was not merely a sporting event; it was a cultural milestone that bridged the gap between entertainment and athletics. With Keith Jackson at the helm of commentary, accompanied by the distinctive voices of Dandy Don Meredith and Howard Cosell, the game introduced a new paradigm of sports broadcasting that emphasized personality, analysis, and fan engagement—elements that are now essential to the viewing experience. Central to the narrative of this season is George Blanda, whose remarkable resilience defied the conventions of age and performance in professional sports. At 43 years of age, Blanda's unexpected return to the field as an emergency quarterback for the Oakland Raiders culminated in a series of thrilling performances that not only secured victories but also etched his name in the record books as the Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year—the first football player to receive this honor. His journey serves as a poignant reminder of the indomitable human spirit and the capacity for excellence irrespective of age, challenging preconceived notions about longevity in professional athletics. Equally significant were the developments within college football, where the 1970 season bore witness to a watershed moment in the integration of the sport. The USC versus Alabama game became emblematic of the social changes sweeping across the nation, as the Trojans' resounding victory catalyzed a shift towards desegregation in collegiate athletics. Concurrently, Nebraska's ascendance to national prominence, culminating in their first consensus national championship, exemplified the evolving competitive landscape of college football. The confluence of these narratives—the innovation of Monday Night Football, Blanda's legendary performances, and the pivotal college games—collectively delineate a season that not only redefined the sport but also left an indelible mark on American culture, setting the stage for the future of football.

Come Out of the Kitchen! by Alice Duer Miller Read by Margaret Espaillat Alice Duer Miller's 1916 romantic comedy Come Out of the Kitchen! follows wealthy Northern businessman Burton Crane, who rents a grand, run-down Southern mansion for six weeks on the unusual condition that he retain the four eccentric servants already living on the property. As Crane hosts a group of high-society guests, the household dynamics quickly turn chaotic due to the staff's unusually refined, witty, and headstrong behaviour - especially that of the charming, surprisingly talented young cook, Jane-Ellen. As romantic attraction blossoms between Crane and Jane-Ellen despite social barriers, a series of humorous misunderstandings ultimately reveals that the "servants" are actually the impoverished aristocratic siblings who own the estate, resulting in a lighthearted satire on class, privilege, and love.

Every misfit has a story. This one has wings. From internationally renowned author Mark Mustian comes a novel where historical Southern Gothic meets the supernatural, in a story like no other. In the Jim Crow South, a baby is born with strange, wing-like appendages. The townsfolk call him a devil. His mother calls him Johnny Cruel—and to save him, she fakes his death and runs. So begins a life on the margins. Set against the backdrop of 1930s and '40s America, Boy With Wings is a poignant work of Southern literary fiction about one boy's extraordinary body and his lifelong struggle to belong. From a backwoods turpentine camp to a traveling freak show, from found families of outcasts to the halls of power in Tallahassee, Johnny's journey explores the lines between acceptance and exploitation, isolation and love. Is Johnny a monster, an angel, or just a boy trying to live in peace? As he searches for meaning—through love, loss, betrayal, and brutal truths—Johnny must decide whether to keep hiding… or rise on his own terms. Told in vivid, lyrical prose, this tale of identity blends elements of Southern Gothic, outsider fiction, and found family stories. Boy With Wings is a powerful meditation on identity, stigma, resilience, and the quiet miracles that help us soar. Mark Mustian is the author of the novels "The Return" and "The Gendarme," the latter a finalist for the Dayton International Literary Peace Prize and shortlisted for the Saroyan International Award for Writing. It won the Florida Gold Book Award for Fiction and has been published in ten languages. The founder of the Word of South Festival of Literature and Music in Tallahassee, Florida, his new novel, "Boy With Wings," is the winner of the Grand Prize for Fiction from Next Generation Indie Book Awards and has received numerous other honors, including winning the Bronze Prize for Historical Fiction from Independent Publishers Book Awards (IPPY) and being named a finalist for the Hawthorne Award for Fiction.

We also dive into life on the road, the inspiration behind the new record, and what's next as they continue building a loyal following across the country.   If you're a fan of authentic Southern rock, blues, and high-energy performances, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Ever found yourself eyeing someone's “Pinterest pretty” homeschool and wondered if you're missing something? Today, I'm sitting down with Katy Wallace—our very own graphic designer at Homeschool Better Together—to pull back the curtain on what “real” homeschooling actually looks like. Katy is not just a talented visual visionary—she's an Alabama homeschool mom of teens, an accidental chicken-keeper, and someone who swore she'd never give up the corporate grind. (Spoiler: she did.)We're getting personal about how both of us landed in the world of homeschooling when it was NOT on our radar, how our school days have shifted as our families have grown, and what happens when your high schoolers start flying the nest. Katy shares how her creative side spills into her homeschool days (yes, there was sidewalk chalk involved), and why she never joined a co-op—plus how she deals with comparison and all the “shoulds” that come with doing things a little differently.We laugh about slow mornings and Southern accents, dig into why beautiful curriculum actually makes a difference, and talk honestly about sanctification, flexibility, and how homeschooling will expose all your perfectionist tendencies…and why that's not a bad thing.This one is for every homeschool mom who's wondered if she's the only one doing it her own way (hint: you're not). Join us for a down-to-earth conversation that will leave you feeling encouraged, seen, and a lot less alone.What you'll learn:Katy's totally unexpected journey from corporate life to rural homeschool mom and graphic designerThe “normal” (and not-so-normal) homeschool days—slow mornings, morning baskets, and navigating high school independenceWhat actually changes (and what doesn't) when your kids become teens and start dual enrollment or get part-time jobsWhy Katy never found a co-op that fit and how she avoids the comparison trapThe surprising impact beautiful curriculum design has on our homeschool mood and function (and how clutter really messes with us!)Pep talks on perfectionism, the myth of having it all figured out, and learning to embrace flexibility—even when you're more “planner” than “free spirit”How faith, prayer, and real-life messiness shape our days more than the right planner or perfect routineHonest talk on the sanctifying work of homeschooling (it'll grow you just as much as your kids)Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Put Your Homeschool Year on Autopilot (step-by-step planning system):The Elevate Program with Finishers Club + live planning accountability:Science TogetherHeaven is Having You by Giles AndreaeEpposumondas by Coleen Salley

In this special 9-week series, listeners will hear from three different groups—GenX paired with Millennials, Gen Z, and Boomers with a mix of the Silent Generation. Their conversations cover a variety of topics including technology, unity in the Church, racism, and parenting. Grouped by similar ages, these 12 individuals share their unique views, opinions, and convictions based on their generational upbringing and views of the world. Ranging from ages 16 to 81, we're covering 5 different generations with 16 different guests.In this episode, Boomers and Silent Generation group share their views on parenting, spanking, the necessity of a college education, what motivates them to determine a career, and whether our society has an unhealthy disposition toward safety. Our guests also have a little fun with music—can they identify the artists of popular songs from the other generations? Susan ChapmanSusan Chapman has been a part of Seacoast's Mount Pleasant Campus for ten years, where she and her husband Roy serve as table leaders at Next Steps and volunteer in the bookstore. Susan's passion is intercessory prayer — a calling that has shaped much of her life and the lives of those around her. Susan was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, where she met Roy in high school. They married in 1965 and have built a rich life together over the past 60 years, rooted in faith, family, and friendship. They have two children — a son and a daughter — and warmly claim their son-in-law Joey as their own. Their two grandchildren are a delight: their grandson recently graduated from North Greenville University, and their granddaughter just graduated from middle school. It was in Decatur, Georgia, in the early 1970s that Susan's spiritual journey began to take deep root. Her time in Bible study and God's word brought about changes that were visible to everyone around her — including Roy, who began searching for what was behind them. Looking back, Susan can clearly see God's hand at work throughout her life. In 1977, the family relocated to the Philadelphia area, and once again God's provision was evident. Susan found a wonderful community of people there who remain among her closest and dearest friends to this day. After 28 years, she and Roy moved to Summerville in 2005, where they have been putting down roots ever since. One of Susan's great joys at Next Steps has been discovering just how small the world really is — the unexpected connections, the familiar faces from years past, the strangers who turn out to be anything but. She also treasures staying in touch with lifelong friends now scattered across seven states. In her free time, Susan enjoys reading, jigsaw puzzles, and time with family and friends. She and Roy are devoted University of Georgia football fans, and one of their favorite traditions is spending time at Litchfield Beach, a place they have returned to for over 50 years. When it comes to food, Susan's Southern spread says everything you need to know about her: summer squash, butter beans, tomatoes, iced tea, and optional fried chicken. She still remembers when her aunt's phone number was simply 2524 — before area codes existed — and when ten rolls of toilet paper cost a dollar. Susan Chapman is someone who remembers where she came from, holds tightly to the people she loves, and keeps showing up — in prayer, in service, and in life.Brian LewisBrian Lewis has been a pastor at Seacoast's Mount Pleasant campus for 11 years, leading Men's Ministry and Seniors Ministry. He has been married to Andrea for 32 years and has one daughter, Addison. Born, raised, and educated in Atlanta, Georgia — a Georgia Tech graduate — Brian is the youngest of five children, two of whom are now with the Lord. He has been part of the Seacoast family for 21 years.In his free time, Brian enjoys cooking, DIY projects, golf, travel, and music. Andrea describes him as a renaissance man — curious about everything and a true dabbler. He has visited 42 states and 6 continents, attended both Obama inaugurations with his family, and made seven trips to Kenya for global missions, with one trip to Honduras as well. Brian loves a good argument or debate, as long as it doesn't get too emotional, and will happily argue either side of an interesting topic.Joe RiddellJoe has been a part of the Seacoast family for 25 years. Lived in Charleston his whole life and a general contractor for 37 years.  Married to Carol for 29 years, he has two kids ages 34 and 27 and two grandkids almost four and almost two. In his own words, he's Just a guy who loves Jesus, loves his family and loves his church. Sandy StaffordSandy Stafford is a retired art teacher who spent 40 years at James Island Charter High School before retiring in 2020. She has two grown sons and a thirteen-year-old granddaughter, and became a member of Seacoast at the James Island campus. In her free time, Sandy enjoys traveling, nature walks, and all types of art-making. She has a particular passion for researching and visiting southern "Chapels of Ease," photographing these historic sites as references for her drawings and paintings. Sandy is also deeply drawn to the American Southwest — especially New Mexico — where she loves traveling less-known highways to visit Southwest Mission Churches. She hopes to walk a pilgrimage next Easter to Santuario de Chimayo along the "High Road" from Taos to Santa Fe.Seacoast Podcast is now on InstagramBe a Patron of the podcast We have a YouTube Channel for videos of all episodes since Jan. 2024. We'd love to hear from you.  E-mail Joey HERE. Producer/Editor/host: Joey SvendsenSound Engineer/Editor: Katelyn Vandiver

Willy Bearden is a filmmaker, photographer, author, producer, musician and Southern storyteller whose work has helped preserve and interpret the culture, characters and history of Memphis, the Mississippi Delta and the Midsouth. In this episode, Bearden shares how growing up in Rolling Fork, Mississippi, surrounded by natural storytellers, shaped the way he sees the world. He talks about studying education, working as a teacher's aide and substitute teacher, and eventually finding his way into film through Memphis' Motion Picture Laboratory (MPL), where he learned the technical and artistic skills that launched his career. The conversation explores Bearden's decision to leave a comfortable path and start his own production company in 1987, first creating corporate videos and conventions before moving into documentaries, public television and museum storytelling. He discusses projects connected to the blues, cotton, Overton Park, the Elvis Presley Birthplace, the Cotton Museum and other places where Southern history comes alive every day for visitors. Bearden also reflects on his memoir, “Mississippi Hippie: A Life in 49 Pieces,” and the experiences, people and places that inspired him to turn the camera on his own life. It's a conversation about creativity, courage, history, memory, storytelling and the value of taking a leap before you feel completely ready.

Long before Keisha Lance Bottoms rose to prominence in politics, she was a daddy's girl from the west side of Atlanta-the baby of her family, who did well in school, though she talked too much in class; an outgoing kid who dreamed of growing up to be elegant and charismatic like her parents, cool like her older siblings and big cousins, and the pride of her very large Southern family.After law school, Bottoms worked as an attorney, served as a judge, and was elected to City Council and the mayorship, where she garnered national attention for her leadership during the pandemic and George Floyd protests. Later, she was appointed senior advisor in President Joe Biden's administration.Yet Bottoms felt disquieted internally. She was in her early fifties and approaching the age her beloved father was when he died. She couldn't shake the feeling that something in her life was missing, like she'd forgotten to bring an essential element of herself along for her ascension. Stepping away from the daily political grind, Bottoms realized how much she'd sanded down parts of herself on her path to professional success. She'd tucked away the fuller details about her dad's drug abuse and prison stint for dealing; the sexual abuse she endured; the eating disorder she developed; the close-knit, utterly unpolished family who doted on her and gave her an incredible foundation of love and confidence but whose influence she'd smoothed to a sleek, charming, campaign-ready sheen. She thought that was the price of upward mobility. Then she realized she was wrong.The Rough Side of the Mountain is about this excavation. It's Bottoms's deeply affecting journey to rescue a version of herself that she thought she had to leave behind to succeed. An homage to the lessons from kinfolk plainly told, hers is a timely and heartfelt memoir about unmasking oneself, the joys of authenticity, embracing what you sspreading that powerful message.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Today's guest is John David Taylor III, owner of Covey Point Outfitters in Goshen, Alabama. John David is a lifelong outdoorsman whose passion for hunting started as soon as he was old enough to carry a shotgun. Instead of waiting years to chase his dream, he jumped right in after graduating high school in 2021 and founded Covey Point Outfitters. Since then, he's been building a destination where hunters from across the country can experience first-class quail, pheasant, hog, deer, and other guided hunts while enjoying genuine Southern hospitality. For John David, it's about much more than the hunt. He's passionate about creating lasting memories, building meaningful relationships with every guest who comes through the lodge, and sharing his faith by giving God the glory for every opportunity. At a young age, he's already turned a lifelong passion into a thriving family business, and today he's living out the dream he always knew was waiting for him in the outdoors.   www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.himtnjerky.com www.nukemhunting.com www.christianoutdoors.org www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.mossyoak.com    

It's Jubilee in July Part Two! This special series features conversations from our annual Cherry Bombe Jubilee, held this past April at The Glass House in New York City.  Today, we're sharing a Jubilee keynote conversation on the legacy of Edna Lewis, the legendary chef and author many regard as the godmother of American farm-to-table cooking. This year marks the 50th anniversary of her landmark book, “The Taste of Country Cooking,” which celebrates local ingredients, seasonality, and Southern traditions.  Culinary historian and author Toni Tipton-Martin joins Edna's niece Nina Williams-Mbengue for a conversation with Chef and podcaster Adrienne Cheatham. They are introduced by Chef Adé Carrena of iLéWA Foods. Then, we'll hear a solo talk from Mariana Velásquez, author of the cookbooks “Revel” and “Colombiana.” Mariana shares the deeply personal story of finishing “Revel” as her marriage ended, and how rewriting the book helped her rediscover her voice and the joy of gathering around the table.

In the heart of historic Mobile, Alabama, a city of Southern charm, there is the Fort Conde Inn. It is Mobile's second-oldest home. Built on ground once guarded by a mighty French fort. A place that welcomed families... until war and deadly epidemics turned its rooms into a house of misery.This is where the supernatural begins after dark. Scratch-scratch near the floorboards... like tiny claws searching for something lost. Furniture slides across rooms when no one is watching. A heavy, watchful presence follows you on the second floor, breathing just behind your shoulder. Buckets roll down steps by themselves. Lights flicker. Whispers answer when you speak. Voices from empty courtyards. Cold touches in warm rooms.Are these the restless soldiers who never made it home? The grieving mother who lost everything? Or a playful child, still looking for friends? Guests check in for quiet nights and leave with stories they can barely believe. Some say the spirits aren't angry... they're simply not finished yet.Join us as we check into a room Within the Mists of Alabama at the Fort Conde Inn?
