Southern writers are at a bit of an advantage in that we have a powerful sense of place, but mostly we know characters. We ARE characters. We come from families, neighborhoods, churches, and kinfolk that are the stuff you think is made up, but only slightly. We love an embellished story. We are storytellers. To be southern is to be a good storyteller. Join us at the table as we discuss male southern authors.
We already did an episode on female southern authors. You can listen to that here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/steel-magnolias-podcast/id1442852139?i=1000554084762

"Any discussion about American music that doesn’t include Muscle Shoals, Alabama isn’t really a discussion at all.” That’s a direct quote from the website of FAME STUDIOS.
We had a chance to visit Muscle Shoals and the 2 studios that stayed undercover for most of the 60’s and 70’s while legends came to record with a producer and a rhythm section that should be household names. Join us at the table as we discuss the music of Muscle Shoals.
If you’re a big Lynyrd Skynyrd fan you may have caught the name Muscle Shoals in some lyrics, but you may have NEVER EVER heard of this place and that’s ok. But if you love music, you’re gonna wanna pack your backs and make the trek. WE promise. It’s worth it!
