  • Great Interviews; I miss the Old intro…alot

    Really enjoy that the host makes the guest shine and restraints commentary—really refreshing in interview style podcasts. I like also the diversity in content BUT with certain consistent elements—like the standard closing questions.

    One thing though: I really miss the original intro/outro music; it became engrained in my brain and associated with my good memories of discovering this podcast. I know Southern needs to plug somehow but I miss the original intro. Just my opinion.
