- One of the Best Podcasts!
This one has it all-an excellent host, fascinating subjects, and a welcome familiarity with the South.

Apple Podcasts5MelissaMKUnited States4 months ago - Southern Gothic
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!
Apple Podcasts5Cmba65United States6 months ago - Great to get away from the world
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!
Apple Podcasts5Momomof4KYUnited States7 months ago - Carpet baggers
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.
