This weekend, the Bitter Southerner is back with a real peach of an episode.

If you are listening for the first time, at BATCH, we have our favorites read some favorites. What we mean by that is that we dig around in our archives and record readings of the stories y'all love. In our first batch of episodes, we're sharing some of our most popular food stories.

In episode 4 of BATCH, James Beard Award winning author Shane Mitchell reads her piece on peaches; their beauty, what makes a good one, the people who grow them, the pageants(!) and the story of how they got here.

Welcome back to BATCH, y’all.
