After a few weeks of brainstorming and producing, we've finally landed on what we think is a pretty awesome theme song for the podcast. It's a mash-up of bluegrass and hip-hop, beginning with a quote from Forrest Gump and embedded with clips from a speech given by President Ronald Reagan when he visited Alabama during the 1980s. We hope you enjoy it!
