In last week's episode on storytelling, we learned from Donald Davis, that there are identity cultures and fortune cultures. We have a heart to see the good parts of our southern identity go on to future generations. But how do we do that? Joining us at the table as we discuss how to carry on that culture. We’re covering the roles these all play in answering this big question: oral traditions, podcasts, films, historical landmarks, tours, dance, handmade goods and more!   Steel Magnolias Podcast Referenced Episodes:

Donald Davis was born in Waynesville, North Carolina, a small town in the mountainous region of Western North Carolina. He received a B.A. from Davidson College  and a Master of Divinity degree from Duke University Divinity School. Davis served as a Methodist minister in High Point, North Carolina for over 20 years before retiring to become a professional storyteller. He has recorded over 25 storytelling albums and written several books. His long career as a teller and his promotion of the cultural importance of storytelling through seminars and master classes has led to Davis being dubbed the "dean of storytelling.” Davis has appeared on National Public Radio, CNN and ABC's "Nightline".

Davis is a strong advocate of storytelling, not just the profession, but also storytelling in everyday life. He feels that we connect with one another through the stories that we tell each other across the family dinner table.

If you’ve ever had the opportunity to visit one of the Florida, South Carolina or North Carolina beaches that border the Atlantic ocean in the summer months, you may have seen areas taped off for the protection of sea turtle hatchlings. On this episode we will discuss the endangered species of loggerhead sea turtles that often grace our southern beaches.

  Each year between May and August, female loggerheads leave their ocean home to nest on the coast. They dig a large hole in the dry area of the beach near the sand dunes, deposit an average of 117 eggs and then cover up the nest to protect it from predators. It is believed that they nest on the beach where they were hatched even decades earlier!
