Brandon’s voice and storytelling are captivating! Definitely listen regularly and you should, too!
One of my favorite podcasts. I love all the different stories from the South as I am a Southern myself and I have learned a lot about the folklore of the South. Brandon has a great presentation of the material he covers and the perfect voice for a podcast . Keep up the great work!
I’d call this the best escapism podcast out there. Politics in the modern sense is never brought up, just historic context and fun stories. We lived close to the Gaines Tavern in KY for a decade and I have to say that episode was spot on and was so much fun to listen to! Easily my top 3 favorite podcasts! Keep it up!
Heard an ad for this show. They mispronounced Appalachia. They list Carolina as the northern edge of the South, then go on to talk about Virginia. The music is generic Western slop.
About as southern as JD Vance, using stereotypes and summaries of others wok to make a buck.
Git.
There’s too many stops and self promotions it’s hard to get into the zone of the story, with that said the microphone quality is great and you can tell that that the topics are very thoroughly researched
