Biscuits & Jam

In this week’s episode, Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Living Magazine, chats with Aaron Franklin, the proprietor of a barbecue spot that’s become so well-known that President Obama visited there back in 2014. Growing up in College Station, Aaron worked at his grandparents’ music shop and it was during his lunches there, when he’d head to their home next door, that he acquired his taste for slow-cooked meals. That’s also when he got into playing the music that led him to move to Austin, where he eventually took his barbecue skills from backyards to a trailer to a restaurant. He also shares about his grandfather’s influence on him, the building of Franklin Barbecue – and the rebuilding of it after a fire – plus his third cookbook, ‘Franklin Smoke,’ and plenty more.

In this week’s episode, Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Living Magazine, chats with Jason Isbell, , a four-time Grammy-Award-winner who’s known as one of the best songwriters of his generation. Jason Isbell was born to parents who were still teenagers in a small town in North Alabama, and as a result he spent a lot of time with his grandfather, who was a Pentecostal preacher and a guitar player. By high school he was immersed in the music culture of Muscle Shoals, and in his early 20s he was playing to sold out crowds with the Drive By Truckers. As a solo artist, Isbell has become known as a poet of the rural South who’s not afraid to speak his mind. Now he’s got a terrific new album called ‘Weathervanes,’ a collection of songs that continue his tradition of storytelling with an edge. They'll also discuss his grandmother’s cornbread, how to ring a chicken’s neck, and his experience as an actor in Martin Scorsese’s upcoming movie, ‘Killers of the Flower Moon.’

In this week’s episode, Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Living Magazine, chats with Miranda Lambert, a woman who’s fearlessly blazed her own path through country music. Growing up in small town Texas, where there were seemingly more churches than people, she encountered every aspect of life thanks to her supportive parents and family. Her loving parents were private investigators and often opened their home to clients and other people in need – especially women who needed a safe place to escape to. And these encounters provided inspiration for much of the world weary songwriting that may have sometimes outpaced her own lived experience early in her career. But while she’s been standing firmly on her own two feet for a while now, she still has an impressive intergenerational support system of women who back up her confidence and now she’s got a cookbook that pays homage to them.

In this week’s episode, Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Living Magazine, chats with Steven Satterfield. Raised in Savannah, Georgia, he grew up as the only member of his family allowed in his grandma’s kitchen. But while he was interested in cooking from a young age, in a way, it was his time as a touring musician in the ‘90s dream pop band, Seely, that led him to be a career restaurant worker. He went on to open a James Beard recognized restaurant called Miller Union in Atlanta and just released his second cookbook, ‘Vegetable Revelations.’ Through it all, though, collaboration proved to be key, though it also doesn’t hurt that he got to meet Mick Jagger.

In this week’s episode, Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Living Magazine, chats with Lauren Daigle, a musician who began her career as a Christian artist, but who’s more recently become a crossover sensation. Lauren Daigle grew up in Lafayette, Louisiana, where she enjoyed fishing with her dad, dancing to Cajun music with her grandparents, and rooting for LSU with her entire family. And while the rich musical traditions of Cajun country influenced her, it was really the two years she spent sick and homebound as a teenager that led her to pursue her dream career. With a new self-titled album coming out and a growing legion of fans, Daigle is now sharing her soulfully raspy voice and her deeply held faith with the world.

In this week’s episode, Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Living Magazine, chats with Hoda Kotb, one of the anchors of ‘The Today Show’ on NBC and an author. She was raised in West Virginia while visiting family in Egypt. Unfortunately, her father passed away while she was in college, which of course took an emotional toll, but the lessons she took from the experience has helped her to move through her life successfully. Before her time covering world events, she spent time as a local news reporter in various markets and, in more recent years, she’s also become an author. In fact, her time working in New Orleans local news led her to fall in love with the town, which recently led to a cover story in the April issue of Southern Living in which Hoda shares the best of her old hometown.
