Narratives about work in the American South have often centered on attracting business through lower labor costs, restrictions on unionization, and deregulation. The Southern economic development model, as this approach has come to be known, promised broad growth and prosperity.That prosperity has not materialized for most. Many workers and communities in the South have been left behind, with some regions experiencing poverty rates well above the national average.Narratives shape public perception, policy, and practice. They can also be challenged and changed. Across the South today, workers, business owners, and communities are advancing a new vision, reframing what opportunity and good work look like and who gets to share in economic success.This was the first of four conversations with members of the Aspen Institute's Job Quality Fellowship who are working in the South. We'll examine narrative challenges around work and opportunity, highlight strategies for change, and explore how to amplify approaches rooted in worker dignity, quality jobs, and community wealth-building.

Today's guest is Spring Council, a chef, cooking instructor, former restaurateur, and the daughter of legendary Southern chef Mildred “Mama Dip” Council of Mama Dip's Kitchen in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Spring just released her debut cookbook, “Southern Roots: Recipes and Stories from Mama Dip's Daughter,” celebrating four generations of Black restaurateurs and the community her family nourished through food. Spring joins host Jessie Sheehan to talk about growing up the youngest of eight in a family of cooks, learning through “dump cooking” and oral recipe sharing, and watching her mother build a beloved restaurant with just $64. She also walks Jessie through her Chocolate Bread Pudding with Candied Bacon from “Southern Roots.” This dish features grated bread for a tender, almost cake-like texture, plus bourbon, maple syrup, chocolate, and salty-sweet bacon. Spring explains why she uses breadcrumbs instead of cubes, how baking powder changes the structure of the pudding, and why the inclusion of bourbon makes this dish unforgettable.

666. Kathleen Kass Byrd, part 1, joins us to discuss her book on the history of Natchitoches. "Kathleen M. Byrd's Natchitoches, Louisiana, 1803–1840 is an examination of one French Creole community as it transitioned from a fur-trading and agricultural settlement under the control of Spain to a critical American outpost on the Spanish/American frontier and finally to a commercial hub and jumping-off point for those heading west. Byrd focuses on historic events in the area and the long-term French Creole residents as they adapted to the American presence. She also examines the effect of the arrival of the Americans, with their Indian trading house and Indian agency, on Native groups and considers how members of the enslaved population took advantage of opportunities for escape presented by a new international border. Byrd shows how the arrival of Americans forever changed Natchitoches, transforming it from a sleepy frontier settlement into a regional commercial center and staging point for pioneers heading into Texas" (LSU Pr.). Kathleen M. Byrd (nicknamed Kass) is a distinguished anthropologist, archaeologist, and historian specializing in the history and prehistory of Louisiana, particularly the Natchitoches region. A native of Connecticut, she earned her B.A. from Marquette University, an M.A. from LSU (focusing on coastal subsistence patterns), and a Ph.D. from the University of Florida. She served as Louisiana's state archaeologist for 15 years before joining Northwestern State University (NSU) in Natchitoches in 1994, where she later became director of the School of Social Sciences for 12 years until her retirement.

Most people think the restaurant industry starts in the kitchen. It doesn't. It starts with sourcing. With buying decisions. With what shows up at the back door. This week, Carl sits down with Tony Cuba, Buyer for Halpern's Steak and Seafood in Orlando, alongside Chef Cody Tiner, chef-owner of District South. Tony brings nearly 21 years of distribution experience to the table. From packing product on the warehouse floor to working in outside sales and eventually stepping into buying, he understands sourcing from both sides of the equation. Chef Cody Tiner brings 17 years of scratch-kitchen experience, classical training, Southern roots, and a deep commitment to community-driven hospitality. At District South, he leads a young team, breaks down whole fish and steaks in-house, and builds a neighborhood restaurant centered on quality without pretension. Together, this conversation explores: • How food actually moves from warehouse to dish • What buyers look for before product hits the floor • Why trust between distributor and chef is everything • How sourcing decisions shape menus more than people realize • What the next generation of chefs needs to understand about supply chain This is an inside look at the invisible system that supports every great plate. Because without distribution, there is no industry. And without trust, there is no distribution. Key Takeaways • Distribution is not transactional — it's relational • Great buyers understand kitchen pressure • Scratch kitchens depend heavily on sourcing consistency • Pricing, availability, and quality are constant tension points • Mentorship and next-gen leadership matter at every level of the industry • The supply chain shapes creativity more than most people realize Featured Guests Tony Cuba Buyer – Halpern's Steak and Seafood, Orlando Chef Cody Tiner Chef-Owner – District South Partner Mentions & Links RAK Porcelain USA – Professional tableware used in studio https://www.rakporcelain.com Metro Foodservice Solutions – Workflow and kitchen support partner https://www.metro.com Crab Island Seafood https://crabislandseafood.com Sustainable Supperclub https://sustainablesupper.org/ Operation BBQ Relief https://operationbbqrelief.org/ The Burnt Chef Project https://www.theburntchefproject.com/ Citrus America Citrus America: Perfect Juicers for Any Location Official Trade Show & Competition Partners

This week Matt joins me to chat about Timothy Daltons first James Bond outing, "The Living Daylights". Now that i've seen all the Bond films and I've had some time apart, I wanted to revisit this one to see if my opinion on it has changed. Is this a top 10 Bond film for me now? I also get matts perspective on it as someone seeing it for the first time, and someone who has never seen any of the Roger Moore films that precede it.Since it was Valentines week when we recorded this I thought it would be nice to try a wine finished whiskey. Enter Nelson Brothers Mouvedre cask.From their site "Nelson Brothers Mourvèdre Cask brings a piece of the Sierra Foothills of California down to Nelson's Green Brier Distillery in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee. Southern grain meets Northern California grapes thanks to this partnership with Withers Winery out of Sonoma County.  Known to appeal to richer wine drinkers, Mourvedre brings notes of dark plum and cracked peppercorns to every bottle. The bourbon touts notes of cherry cobbler, almond, sweet mint and honey."

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! This week on The Georgia Politics Podcast, we trace the remarkable rise of Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter from the Gold Dome to the White House. How did a little-known, one-term governor from Plains transform himself into a viable presidential contender in the wake of Watergate? We examine Carter's outsider message, his emphasis on honesty and reform, and the disciplined, state-by-state strategy that stunned the political establishment in 1976. We break down Carter's appeal to Southern and evangelical voters, and the broader national mood that made his campaign possible.  From rural Georgia to Washington, this episode looks at the political skill, timing and strategy behind one of the most improbable presidential ascents in modern American history.

A Southern state has voted against transparency for college athletics compensation. Correspondent Gethin Coolbaugh reports.

On today's show, we're talking about Southern food traditions with two women who are keepers of those traditions in very different ways. Chef Enrika Williams trained at a culinary school in Atlanta and came home to Jackson, the city that's always felt like endless possibilities for her imagination and creativity. And Glenda Cage Barner opened Sugar's Place on West Griffith Street with her son, Chef Donovan Barner, in 2008. Named for her mother, Velma—everyone called her Sugar—the restaurant feeds everyone from law students to judges, bringing people together over soul food.

The primary focus of this podcast episode is the extensive and multifaceted weather hazards affecting the lower 48 states as we approach the weekend. A formidable storm system is advancing, bringing wintry conditions from the Northern and Central Plains to the Great Lakes and the Northeast, while simultaneously posing severe thunderstorm and tornado risks in the mid-Mississippi and Ohio valleys. Additionally, California faces another bout of heavy snowfall in the Sierra, accompanied by periods of significant rain and isolated thunderstorms in Southern California. The episode also highlights critical fire weather concerns in the Southern Plains, wherein warm, dry, and windy conditions facilitate the rapid spread of fires. We conclude our report with a brief overview of state-specific weather developments, emphasizing the necessity for vigilance and preparedness in light of these evolving conditions.Takeaways:* The current weather pattern is characterized by significant activity across the continental United States, indicating a need for preparedness.* A severe storm system is expected to bring wintry conditions and potential severe thunderstorms to various regions.* Fire weather concerns are notably acute in the Southern Plains due to dry and windy conditions conducive to rapid fire spread.* States such as Iowa and Missouri face multiple hazards, including snowfall and severe thunderstorms, necessitating caution for travelers.Sources[WPC | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/hpcdiscussions.php?disc=pmdspd][WA Governor | https://governor.wa.gov/news/2026/governor-ferguson-requests-fema-assistance-repair-1823m-infrastructure-damaged-historic-december] This is a public episode.

Georgia's housing market is at a crossroads, with affordability and local regulations shaping new construction across the state. Gabe Chatham, president of the Home Builders Association of Georgia (HBAG) and vice president of Chathambilt Homes, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to share how builders are navigating these challenges and what it means for first-time homebuyers. The Cost of Permitting Delays One of the most tangible barriers to affordable housing in Georgia is the permitting process. Chatham explains that land disturbance permits, necessary even on properties already zoned for development, can be delayed for months or even years. “If we can cut down that time, that obviously saves some costs on things like engineering holding costs, and hopefully, we'll see the savings passed on to the end user,” Chatham said. When permits and approvals are delayed, the effects extend beyond builders. The supply of homes for first-time buyers shrinks, prices rise and families are often forced to rent longer or relocate farther from work, adding financial and personal strain. What is House Bill 812? Georgia's Home Rule Act further complicates the process. The law gives cities and counties broad control over zoning and design standards, but that autonomy can make it difficult to predict how and when housing will be approved. In 2025, state lawmakers introduced House Bill 812, which would require approval from the Georgia Department of Community Affairs for certain local code amendments. The proposed legislation aims to streamline permitting, particularly for land disturbance permits, though its effectiveness will depend on its implementation at the state and local levels. Supporting Smart Growth & Community Investment Beyond logistics, these regulatory decisions carry long-term consequences for families and communities. With the average age of first-time homebuyers in Georgia now 40, delays and restrictions directly affect generational wealth and family stability, limiting younger adults' ability to establish roots in their communities. Chatham emphasizes the importance of innovative housing solutions, including missing middle housing and build-to-rent projects, to meet the needs of a diverse workforce. Housing policy is not simply about development timelines. It is about ensuring that essential workers and young families can participate in the communities they serve. “We think about our teachers, our firefighters, our police officers… they can't live close by,” Chatham said. “Finding a way to help those people stay invested in the community is going to be healthy for the community long term.” Investing in the Next Generation of Homebuilding Professionals Workforce development is also critical to addressing Georgia's housing challenges. HBAG supports high school programs that teach trade skills, helping address labor shortages in construction while providing students with viable career paths that do not require college debt. Smaller and mid-sized builders often face resource constraints when navigating zoning changes, permitting requirements and evolving legislation. HBAG also provides funding, advocacy and strategic guidance to help these builders remain competitive and keep projects moving forward, ultimately benefiting homebuyers. Chatham said, “By partnering together, we can strategize and utilize the resources we have.” Tune in to the full episode for insight into the policies and solutions shaping the state's housing future.

Southern agriculture operates in a very different environment than the Midwest — different crops, different water management systems, different land structures, and different production risks. But there are powerful lessons for commercial grain producers everywhere. In this episode of the Purdue Commercial AgCast, we launch a new mini-series: Lessons From the Delta. After traveling to Arkansas and the Mississippi Delta region, Chad Fiechter and Todd Kuethe share what stood out most about crop diversity, irrigation intensity, farm structure, and regional economics. From rice and cotton production to groundwater dependence and large-scale irrigation systems, this discussion explores how southern farmers manage risk differently than Midwest corn and soybean producers. The episode also highlights how climate, infrastructure, export access, and conservation programs shape long-term farm strategy in the Delta. While production practices may differ, the business questions are familiar: • How do you manage tight margins? • How do you think about long-term water access? • What does scale look like in a different production system? • And what can Midwest farmers learn from a region built around irrigation? This episode sets the stage for upcoming interviews with producers, researchers, Extension leaders, and conservation organizations across the Delta region. We'll also be sharing additional video clips and behind-the-scenes content from the trip on our YouTube channel throughout the series.

This week, the 3 Guys are heading to Grady, South Carolina to review the 1991 rom-com Doc Hollywood starring the endlessly charming Michael J. Fox. When a fast-lane young doctor totals his Porsche in a tiny Southern town, he's sentenced to community service… but what starts as a pit stop turns into a full-on life detour. Small town. Big personalities. Questionable medical ethics. And yes — a certain ambulance driver who might just change everything. We break down the entire movie (spoilers included), debate Beverly Hills ambition vs. front-porch living, spotlight standout performances, and dig into behind-the-scenes trivia you probably didn't know. Plus, we tackle the important cinematic question: is this basically Cars with a stethoscope? With laughs, hot takes, ratings, and plenty of ‘90s nostalgia, we find out whether Doc Hollywood still has a healthy pulse — or if it needs to be left in the waiting room.

I am getting sick of the topic because I am watching it get kookified before my eyes. I saw the same thing happen to 911 Truth. By the way, we just reached 200 Restacks on Empire Unmasked. If you have not seen or shared that yet you should start on it. The Epstein saga has reached McCarthy like hysteria where anyone “in the file” regardless of the context is being subjected to a witch hunt. Anyone except the ones who deserve the witch hunt. Now what are the odds of that? Epstein's cronies are still in power. This IS the Deep State.I kind of enjoy watching my cut-and-pasters get wrecked when they are questioned about Epstein and they cannot back up what they say. Got a new one here. I already did debate Tracey in spaces and he lost badly. (find a link to that later) And I never disagreed with debating as I was never even asked. That guy doesn't think a 52 year having sex with a 14 year old is pedophilia. I really doesn't matter what you want to call it. Sex and sex acts with a minor is illegal. Prostitution is also illegal. Sex with girls 15 or younger unless you are within two years of their age is especially illegal. Epstein was 52 when he had sex with multiple 14 and 15 year olds. That should have been 30 years in jail for even one count. And second degree felonies for the 16 year olds and 17 year old. The argument is that simple it takes about 1 minute. As far as his network that takes more time but you have all seen me lay it out before each person has a different paper trail. The girls were told to tell Epstein that they were 18 by their recruiter so he would have plausible deniability. Let's not play stupid. That's like paying a pimp instead of paying a girl directly and saying well its not prostitution because you didn't give any money to her. You know they're in high school when that's where you had people looking for them.The other weasel move is to say well he only held a vibrator to a naked 14 year old's vagina, but that's not “sex”. Well guess what, that is still illegal. And carries 5 to 30 years in prison. Paying them makes the Lewd or Lascivious Battery prostitution which only adds time for that too. I am only giving you Florida law to keep it simple. Epstein should have been locked away in 2008 until 2038 minimal. However, I want Ian and Whitney to debate Tracey because they don't actually know these cases and they will lose. I'm not doing the work for them just so they can copy me again and then go on Tucker and Rogan while I get passed over again. I'm the one doing all the original work and the one being canceled defamed and losing money. They've never been canceled or de-banked from anything. Why do I have to take all the heat and do all the work and then also be the debate mercenary too? I'll step in when these grifters recognize the truth.Am I salty? Damn right I am, and why shouldn't I be? I had my life turned upside down! And then I just get passed over. They can pay me. I'm sick of being used by people. It's funny NOW people want to acknowledge who knows the most about this topic and who put it all together. Nah f**k that. I'm on team Tracey when it comes to exposing these grifters. I'm not going to win their battles for them so that they can benefit while I live hand to mouth. They can all kiss my Southern ass.Why am I the only one being censored? Because I'm the only one whose a threat to the system. They do not understand what this was. It is just a bunch of disconnected sloganeering. This is exactly why I rarely talk about JFK. I already explained RFK and 911 and got no recognition. They just girft off my finding and act like everyone knew it all along. But they didn't. How many times have you heard people say jack Ruby was named Jacob Rubenstein? That wasn't common knowledge at all. I might change my mind. But right now I'm like screw these clowns. I'm focused on the Iran war and my island sinking into the ocean. I'm tired of people taking all the benefit and recognition while I get all the heat. Where my million dollar payout? I cant even use a PayPal or coinbase. No YouTube no Venmo, or Vimeo, Instagram etc etc why is that? Why am I censored and they are not? Because I know what I'm talking about and can back it up. They just memorize the conclusions. I'm a threat to the system. Clowns are a limited hangout.If others are going to pretend to experts then let them do the debates and heavy lifting. Why am I only doing the work and not the reward?I'll come in at the end like final boss and destroy everyone. But I'm not rescuing these clowns until after they're exposed.People saying Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell were body swapped, that they ate babies or built a secret lab to farm human body parts in New Mexico, dissolved bones in sulfuric acid etc sound like Candace Owens trying to investigate Charlie Kirk. Ive dealt with the kook movement enough regarding 911. I don't have patience or energy for it any more. Nor the other side denying pedophilia or blaming Russia. I just want to wash my hands of it. Not forever but I need a break from all the stupid because it makes me ill. I'm going back to bear hunting and discussing the War of Northern aggression. I'm not going to try to shout over all the noise. I don't have time for that. going blind in one eye makes one realize how limited our time is and I am not going to waste the time i have left arguing with donkeys or rescuing donkeys. There is too much I want to SEE. Substack will still have Epstein news because its a paid service. But X can ride a fat one. By the way I got locked out of the new Facebook. It needs a phone number to verify logging in which I do not have as that page was created in 2009. You can no longer just make new pages either as they require photo ID to make a page now and I am banned as is my immediate family. I will try to find a work around.Wexner has to talk to congress tomorrow. Be sure to subscribe because I am only going to be addressing that to subs. I hate having to do that but that's the situation i am in. This is a public episode.

Houston might be known for its outsized personality, but every two years, during FotoFest, the city becomes a swirling epicenter of photographic art from around the globe. This year, to mark 40 years of pushing the boundaries of photography, FotoFest's 2026 biennial, Global Visions, is bringing together a dizzying array of artists from over 58 countries. But what does it take to wrangle over 450 artists and hundreds of works into a two-month citywide celebration?Enter Chris Wicker, the unflappable exhibitions manager at FotoFest, and, as it turns out, an obsessive media-sampler, self-diagnosed denim junkie, and master of absurdist art. In this episode, Chris unpacks the coordination behind “Houston's global photo party” and how his own art practice peels back the layers of Southern culture, NASCAR rituals, and the unstoppable flood of American consumerism.Episode CreditsHost: Scott 'Sourdough' PowerGuest: Chris WickerProduction: Crewest Studio, Los AngelesTheme Music: Ricky Pajot & Desi DeLauro of Parlor SocialSubscribe to NOT REAL ART for more creativity, culture, and chaos.

Episode 226 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!  This week we are joined by an Assistant Hitting Coach for the New York Yankees, Casey Dykes!Episode in a Glance:In this episode of the Hitstreak, I get to welcome back Casey Dykes, assistant hitting coach for the New York Yankees. We discuss the balance between family and work, the impact of Southern roots on professional life, and the importance of faith. Casey shares insights on the dynamics of spring training, the evolution of baseball strategies, and the sneaker culture within the sport. We also delve into personal experiences, including meeting a sitting president and the role of analytics in modern baseball. The episode wraps up with advice for young coaches and reflections on family dynamics in a busy life, emphasizing the importance of intentional living and involvement in family activities.Key Points:- Family comes first, and work should not interfere with family life.- Southern roots provide a calming foundation in a fast-paced environment.- Faith is crucial for grounding and building relationships.- The evolution of pitching and hitting strategies is significant in modern baseball.- The Yankees clubhouse has unique personalities and swag.- Analytics play a major role in coaching and player development.- Loyalty and integrity are essential qualities for young coaches. About our guest: Casey Dykes is an MLB hitting coach and player development leader currently serving as an Assistant Hitting Coach for the New York Yankees. A Franklin, Tennessee native, Dykes was a standout multi-sport athlete at Franklin High School before playing four years of college baseball at Western Kentucky University. He earned a degree in Sport Management and a master's in Athletic Administration while starting over 175 games and winning a conference championship. Following his playing career, Dykes began coaching at WKU before moving to Virginia Military Institute, where he served as lead hitting and catching coach and recruiting coordinator. At VMI, he helped develop 14 All-SoCon players, five MLB Draft picks, multiple All-Americans, and offenses that set 32 program top-10 records. Dykes later joined Indiana University's coaching staff, where the Hoosiers won the 2019 Big Ten regular season title, reached the NCAA Tournament, and led the nation in home runs. Six position players were selected in the 2019 MLB Draft—the most in school history. In 2019, Dykes joined the New York Yankees organization, progressing through Double-A and Triple-A before joining the Major League staff. He has since been part of historic offensive production, including back-to-back Team Silver Slugger Awards, a World Series appearance in 2024, and league-leading marks in runs, walks, OPS, and home runs. Grounded in faith and family, Dykes lives in Middle Tennessee with his wife Chaney, a former WKU basketball player, and their three children.Follow and contact:Instagram: @caseydykes1https://www.mlb.com/yankeesSubscribe to Nick's top-rated podcast The Hitstreak on Youtube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/NickHite⁠rFollow and Rate us on Spotify: ⁠https://spotify.com/NickHiter⁠Follow and Rate us on Apple Podcast: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/NickHiter⁠Follow and Rate us on iHeartRadio: ⁠https://www.iheart.com/NickHiter

You may have heard that today kicks off the Year of the Fire Horse, it's Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and that Lana Del Rey just dropped a brand new single, “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter,” which she wrote with her husband, Louisiana airboat tour guide Jeremy Dufrene. These things are unrelated to each other, but all play nicely into this week's pod theme. I am joined by Amanda Mull, senior reporter at Bloomberg Businessweek, to discuss why Southern aesthetics have become so pervasive in fashion and culture over the last several years, from pop music to TV to TikTok. Tune in for Amanda's expert contextualization from growing up in Georgia (Go Dawgs!), as well as her thoughts on Bass Pro Shops gear and Realtree camo making their way to the runways a decade ago; the explosion of cowboy-inspired looks in the wake of the Eras Tour and Cowboy Carter; Southern sorority girl style spreading to a worldwide audience via #RushTok, and Alix Earle starting her career doing GRWM videos from the University of Miami campus; the influx of influencers (Brianna LaPaglia, Paige Lorenze, Campbell Puckett, etc.) using regional aesthetics in their content; Lana Del Rey, Ethel Cain, and why white Southern femininity is a rich text for the fashion industry to pull inspiration from; microdosing MAGA culture via popular series like “Landman,” “Hunting Wives,” and “Southern Charm;” why fashion is so obsessed with horse girls, and much more.

Coalitions promise power, but what if they mostly deliver blame? We dig into the sharp difference between a United Front and a Popular Front, trace their roots from the Second International through the Comintern, and confront the hard history behind antifascist coalitions in France, Italy, and Spain. Along the way, we separate romance from results: Allied armies defeated fascism; Popular Front cabinets rarely did. That sobering fact reframes what “winning” looked like—and why so many movements grew fast, entered government, and then unraveled.From there, we bring the analysis home. The United States isn't Europe: our parties are private duopoly machines, election law is fractured across states, and governing power is fenced in by bond markets, courts, and bureaucratic veto points. That's why the CPUSA's most significant advances—interracial union drives, Southern organizing, voting rights fights—came through oppositional power, not shared ministries. We examine how the postwar purge erased that base, why ministry-without-hegemony plagued South Africa's tripartite deal, and how today's left populism keeps rediscovering the same brick wall in city halls and Congress.We also tackle China's “United Front,” New Democracy, and why that path depended on peasant majorities and civil war conditions absent in developed economies. The throughline is clear: coalitions without control invite contradictions. United Front tactics—independence, coordinated action, refusal to co-govern without command—were built to avoid that trap. Popular Fronts trade clarity for breadth; breadth without hegemony turns victories into boomerangs. If you care about socialist strategy, labor power, and actually shifting policy, this conversation offers a sharper, historically grounded map for what to build, when to join, and when to say no.If this challenged your priors or clarified some foggy distinctions, share it with a comrade, hit follow, and leave a review telling us where you stand on coalition strategy.About Brandon LightlyBrandon Lightly is a policy researcher with a background in International Affairs and History.

Episode 285 of the **Untold Radio AM Show** is live! Southern Bigfoot encounters are exploding across the Southeast—swamps, woods, and hollers are buzzing with reports.

The 2026 Georgia Food + Wine Festival is officially the epicenter of Southern culinary innovation, and no one captures its essence better than Chef Jernard Wells. As the festival's Brand Ambassador and the celebrated "Family Chef," Wells recently joined The Ash Said It show to break down the flavor, culture, and "New Soul" philosophy defining this year's massive celebration at Jim R. Miller Park. The combination of talent perfectly mirrors the festival's balance of grit, hospitality, and bold evolution. Even when discussing his legendary Georgia Peach Hot Chicken Sandwich, Wells emphasized that pushing boundaries isn't about discarding tradition; it's about using "New Soul" techniques to elevate classic Georgia ingredients, ensuring every bite tells a story of both heritage and high-concept culinary art. For families attending the Sunday/Funday events, Wells identified the Gourmet Mac & Cheese Bar as the ultimate cross-generational experience. It serves as a culinary bridge where a child's comfort food meets a connoisseur's palate through artisanal cheeses and smoked brisket toppings. This focus on family is at the heart of Wells' mission, transforming a simple meal into a core memory for the thousands of attendees flocking to Marietta. The conversation heated up when discussing the "Fired-Up" live-fire cooking event. Wells argued that Georgia barbecue is the state's most profound historical narrator. Unlike other methods, live-fire cooking requires a community to gather around the flame, representing a history of resilience and shared connection. This year, that energy moves from the screen to the stage with the debut of the Chef's Table Experience. Wells noted that while his CLEO TV audience is vast, the "culinary theater" of a live, five-course seated audience in Marietta provides an electric, visceral energy that only immediate feedback and shared atmosphere can provide. Ultimately, Chef Jernard Wells views the 2026 Georgia Food + Wine Festival as more than just a tasting event; it is a platform for culture, connection, and purpose. As visitors depart Jim R. Miller Park, Wells hopes they carry home a story of Georgia's culinary future—one where food isn't just sustenance, but a powerful tool for bridging divides and fostering a more inclusive, flavorful community.

In this episode Houston legend Mike D — the man many call the original King of Lean — unpacks the true story behind codeine culture in the American South. Before “lean” was a mainstream rap flex… before double cups and purple memes… there was a street-level hustle that changed Houston forever. Mike D breaks down how promethazine with codeine went from a quiet substitute for heroin to a full-blown cultural phenomenon — influencing DJ Screw, the Screwed Up Click, and icons like Pimp C, Bun B, and Lil Wayne. What started as something passed around on the corner turned into an underground empire moving thousands of dollars a day — long before law enforcement even understood what was happening. In this interview, we cover: * How Mike D became Houston's go-to supplier * The birth of “drank” culture inside DJ Screw's house * The economics of the codeine black market * Street wars between Houston neighborhoods * Texas prison brutality and plantation-style incarceration * The real story behind Pimp C's death * Addiction, droughts, and what happens when supply dries up * How music and drugs fed off each other to build a movement This isn't just a drug story. It's a story about culture, capitalism, addiction, loyalty, betrayal — and how one underground market reshaped Southern hip-hop forever. From Astroworld fights to state prison bids… from Mercedes at 16 to moving cases of syrup… Mike D tells it all. Go Support Mike!

Antebellum homes are often admired for their sweeping columns, elegant staircases, and timeless Southern charm. But beneath the polished wood and historic beauty lies a far more complicated past. Many of these estates were built on the backs of enslaved labor, and with that reality comes a legacy that some believe never truly left. In this episode, we explore several Southern homes with reputations for intense paranormal activity—locations where both former owners and enslaved individuals are said to still be present. Witness accounts describe unexplained footsteps pacing long-empty halls, disembodied voices drifting through locked rooms, and sudden cold spots that appear without warning. Some investigators have even reported shadow figures standing at the ends of hallways, watching silently before vanishing into darkness. One of the most chilling stories discussed centers on a historic home that suffered a devastating fire. According to local legend, during the blaze—and in later years during reported paranormal experiences—witnesses claimed to see human-like figures moving within the flames themselves. Apparitions appearing inside fire is an especially unsettling phenomenon, suggesting that whatever energy remains tied to the location may be replaying moments of trauma or catastrophe. These sightings raise questions about residual hauntings, emotional imprints, and whether extreme events can leave permanent echoes in the environment. We also take time to examine the duality often found in these historic locations. While some reports focus on former owners—figures in period clothing, stern presences, or footsteps on upper floors—other accounts describe sightings believed to be tied to enslaved individuals who once lived and worked on the property. These encounters tend to be quieter but no less powerful: faint singing where no one is present, figures seen near former quarters, or sensations of being watched accompanied by overwhelming emotion. As always, the conversation moves beyond simple ghost stories and into deeper questions. Are these manifestations intelligent spirits, residual energy, or psychological responses to historically charged locations?

Three teenagers. A remote island in Middle Tennessee. A Wednesday morning in the summer of '97. Brothers Heath and Hayes Holland and their friend Seth were doing what they always did, exploring Hole in the Wall Island on Percy Priest Lake, when they came face to face with something that defied explanation. Standing by a massive tree was an eight-foot creature with dark fur, horns, a wolf-like snout, snarling teeth, and glowing red eyes. It wasn't a Bigfoot. It wasn't quite a Goatman. And it was staring right at them.The Holland brothers join us live in studio with a story they've carried for nearly three decades. Hayes followed the creature through the brush for fifteen minutes while Heath ran for his life, and their dad wrote the whole thing off until locals started reporting similar sightings at the nearby boat dock. What was it? A cryptid? A demon? Something that doesn't have a name yet? Growing up in a conservative Southern church didn't prepare them for what they saw, but it might just be the lens that makes the most sense of it. Welcome to the horned creature of Antioch.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Proof of Life in an AI Age Clay Travis and Buck Sexton begin by highlighting President Donald Trump’s remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast, where he addressed faith in public life, new Department of Education guidance reaffirming the right to prayer in public schools, and ongoing federal responses to unrest and crime in major U.S. cities, including Minneapolis. They preview Trump’s wide‑ranging interview with NBC News’ Tom Llamas, which becomes a central theme throughout the hour. A major portion of Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show is devoted to the alarming and emotional kidnapping case involving the mother of NBC News anchor Savannah Guthrie. The hosts play audio from Guthrie’s public plea and analyze the unusual nature of a modern‑day ransom kidnapping in the United States. Clay and Buck discuss why the crime appears targeted rather than random, speculate on possible inside knowledge of the victim’s home and routines, and explore why this type of crime is now rare in America compared to other parts of the world. They also examine how advances in surveillance, DNA evidence, and digital tracking make successful ransom kidnappings increasingly difficult. Throughout the segment, they note that President Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel have committed significant federal resources to the case, underscoring its national visibility and seriousness. Kamala Woofs? A lively and humorous debate about the future of the Democratic Party, centered on Vice President Kamala Harris and the 2028 presidential race. Clay Travis sharply mocks what he characterizes as Kamala Harris’s inauthentic political style, using her recent “Kamala HQ” announcement as an example, and compares it to a famously absurd storyline from The Office. This sparks a prolonged back‑and‑forth between Clay and Buck over whether Harris will run for president again—and whether she could realistically become the Democratic nominee. Clay argues that Harris is likely to run and could benefit from changes to the Democratic primary calendar that elevate Southern states with large Black Democratic electorates, while Buck strongly disagrees, insisting that her past electoral failures and poor performance in swing states make her nomination politically disastrous. The conversation broadens into a larger analysis of Democratic strategy, race, primary politics, and voter turnout. Clay suggests Democrats may once again make a risky strategic decision based on identity politics and narrow electoral margins, while Buck counters that party elites will ultimately coalesce around a different candidate, particularly California Governor Gavin Newsom. Throughout the hour, the hosts reference betting odds, past primary performances, and voter behavior to argue their competing cases, turning their disagreement into an ongoing bet that becomes a recurring and entertaining thread. Clay's Needle and Poop Walk Clay delivers an extended firsthand account of his morning walk through downtown San Francisco ahead of Super Bowl weekend. Broadcasting from the iHeartRadio studios in the city, he describes being advised not to walk for safety reasons and then encountering widespread homelessness, drug use, abandoned needles, and human feces along a short route in the city’s core. Clay uses the experience to argue that urban decay, public drug use, and lack of sanitation are policy failures, contending that visible filth and disorder directly correlate with higher crime rates and declining quality of life in major American cities like San Francisco and Washington, D.C. A central segment of Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show features a detailed live update from Daily Wire reporter Lynden Blake, who monitored the full Arizona press conference on the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping. Blake confirms that a single ransom note was sent to multiple outlets, demanding millions of dollars in Bitcoin, with an initial deadline the same day and a secondary deadline the following Monday accompanied by explicit threats. She explains why authorities believe the notes are credible, citing accurate descriptions of the crime scene, and discusses lingering questions about security cameras, possible inside knowledge of the home, and inconsistencies regarding forced entry. The hosts also explore the family’s request for proof of life and the challenges posed by AI‑generated imagery, underscoring how modern technology complicates hostage negotiations. Sen. Dave McCormick A substantive interview with Senator Dave McCormick, who addresses major national and state policy concerns. McCormick discusses the growing national debt, massive federal deficits, and what he views as Washington’s unwillingness to enact even modest spending reforms. He criticizes resistance to work requirements for able‑bodied Medicaid recipients and warns that without structural changes, entitlement programs will collapse under their own weight. McCormick also speaks at length about bipartisan cooperation in Pennsylvania, highlighting his working relationship with Democratic Senator John Fetterman, their shared stance on issues like fentanyl, energy production, Israel, and government shutdowns, and his willingness to publicly defend Fetterman when he was attacked by his own party. Election integrity and voting laws are another focal point, as McCormick strongly advocates for the SAVE Act and nationwide voter ID requirements. He argues that requiring proof of citizenship is a basic safeguard supported by overwhelming majorities of both Republicans and Democrats and says lawmakers must publicly justify opposition to voter ID to restore trust in U.S. elections. The conversation then shifts to the economy, where McCormick credits President Donald Trump’s tax cuts, deregulation, and energy policies with fueling major investment in Pennsylvania, including tens of billions of dollars committed to energy infrastructure and data centers. He frames U.S. energy dominance and AI development as critical components of global competition, particularly with China.
