This week our mic is graced by a vocal legend when Constance "Patti Mayonnaise" Shulman stops by. You Might Know Her From Orange is the New Black, Doug, Fried Green Tomatoes, Sweet and Lowdown, and Weekend at Bernie's II. We dig deep into the "Southern Wave" that hit pop culture in the '90s and hear about how Dolly Parton handpicked Connie from the original Off-Broadway production of Steel Magnolias. We talk about Connie's collaborations with her husband, Reed Birney, her years as the Kraft Mayonnaise lady, and the ups and downs of being back in the zeitgeist as Yoga Jones on OITNB.
