Back to the Fire is podcast based in and about Birmingham, Alabama. The idea of this project is to shed light on aspects of art, culture, and opinion that one might not necessarily associate with people from and in the south. I hope to speak with many interesting people about many interesting subjects occasionally returning to the common threads of Identity and society and how it relates to living here in “the south”.

Host: Kily Payne

Guest: Nat Yonce

Hey everyone, Welcome back to the fire. I'm Kily Payne and in todays episode I get to talk with the witty and charismatic Nat Yonce. I first met nat though my good old friend Alex Norman. Back in high school Alex bridged our oak mountain crew with the spain park and vestavia hills folks. Atleast that how I remember it. Nat has gone on to study in Dublin and has a degree in Audio engineering, He writes and records music, and has produced a few radio dramas. I even heard that He has worked with Syleveter Mcoy the 7th Dr. on Dr Who. Nat is currently in Chatanooga TN, doing what most of us young creative types are trying to do, namely stay a float and make a few waves at the same time.

Ok so this conversation you are about to hear, we do a bit of catching up, talking about where we have been and what we have done as well as where we would like to go. We talk shop a little bit covering some of the nuances of our respective fields. Towards the end we get around to a subject I was hoping we would get to cover.

So back in high school Nat played the mascot at his school. The vestavia hills Rebels. This rebel is depicted as an old white southern gentry. This imagery is exclusionary to many students and is not reflective of todays values and ideals. Nat tells us a little about his experience playing the Rebel man and what happened when he tried to speak out against the continued use of that symbol.

In this episode I meet up with Sarah Robinson for some coffee and conversation. Sarah is a confident punk-rocker who always seems to have a good level headed attitude Sarah and I have known one another for a few years now having met through Food not Bombs; which we both recognize as a centering constant or a cornerstone in our routine. We spend a bit of time reflecting on this and how FnB has  affected us through the years and what it means to us. We also talk about other groups and organizations in the area that are doing cool and interesting things. After that we shift gears a little as we start "talkin' bout our generation" as well as the next. Its another "state of the scene" driven edition!
