The Lou Revue

"Cornbread Mafia" author Jim Higdon with us in studio. His book is "the story of 70 white Catholic men from Central KY, arrested on 30 farms in 10 states, with 200 tons of marijuana between 1985 & 1989."


Listen Later

We hear a ton of anecdotes from "Cornbread Mafia", about the crazy true history surrounding an area just a little east of Bardstown and an "inconceivable" amount of marijuana. If you've read the book, you'll love hearing some background from Jim. If you haven't (yet), then prepare to be blown away. Good stuff!

Plus Julie's trivia night, and a double dose of "Who Am I?" that our panel nails (but Jim not so much).
