Happy New Year from everyone at Sean of the South. The first episode of a season featuring new locations, small towns, and places within America. Recorded in Walton County before a socially distanced audience of 5 and one half.  Special guests Tricia Spencer and Howard Rains, Aaron Peters, Silvio Centemore, Dan DeLeon, and William Buchanan. 

Sean enters the studio to play a handful of carols on an old guitar, to tell a few stories, and most of all, to wish you a very merry Christmas. 

From live performances and recordings during a socially distanced COVID-era Christmas, and music by Aaron Peters, Billy Howell, Steve Gilmore, and Caleb Riley. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a safe year. 

Sean Dietrich brings you a surprise podcast special, intended especially for Christmas Eve night. This episode is for young and old alike. For the socially distanced, the elderly, the quarantined, the newly homeschooled, the unemployed, the sick, and the downhearted. Meant to be savored from a comfortable chair, with eyes closed, lights dimmed, and the twinkly tree glowing in the dark. Whatever you do, do not listen to this episode before the Eve of Christmas. 

Save it for then.  

Sean invites friends into the studio from near and far away to talk and sing about Christmas, with special guest and author Shawn Smucker, along with Aaron Peters on the mountain fiddle.

Sean dusts off one of his old short stories and reads a holiday tale about love, angels, and the magic found in Christmas, found in his upcoming Christmas book.
