Next Friday, on June 24th, director Gary Ross, the three-time Academy Award nominated writer and director behind Seabiscuit, The Hunger Games and Pleasantville, has taken his place behind the camera once again in a movie he's written. This time Ross takes his talents back in time to tell the true true story of a farmer in Mississippi named Newton Knight. But how much of Free State of Jones is truth?

The final episode of my “Oregon” season. You’ll find out what happened when I went home and my final thoughts on the whole experience.
Seriously, if you’ve never done it, rate the show, maybe even write a review on iTunes.
And it would mean the world to me if you would tell some friends that you really like this show and they should listen from the beginning. I'm more proud of telling this story in this podcast than anything else I've ever done.
Thanks for all your support, everyone.
