An episode in two parts, an Interview and an Essay.

Our interview is with Marlene Twitty-Fargo, the drag persona of Tim White. Marlene is the leader of a bad called The Twat Biscuits and is a ton of fun. Tim has lived in Nashville since 1988.

Our essay comes from Jack Evan Johnson, a writer and musician living and making a living in Nashville. Along with Elena Cybelle, he is the co-creator of Honkytonk Badonkadonk. His album American Pink came out last year.

We open with a new Mick Mullin tune called “Thank God They Closed the Honky Tonks.”
