Ain't is a Word - A Southern Podcast

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I dust off four more old newspaper columns from the early days of me pretending I knew what I was doing. They may not be my finest work, and a couple of them feel like they were written by a man running entirely on coffee, deadline panic, and blind confidence, but they still carry the heart of where it all started.  This round wanders through memories, small-town...

Send us Fan Mail Years ago, I wrote these columns in the middle of real life-raising kids, working in law enforcement, watching small-town Georgia unfold, and trying to make sense of the funny, hard, and holy parts of it all.  Now I'm reading them again for the first time in years. In each episode, I revisit an old column or two, read it out loud, then reflect on what was happening then, what...

Send us Fan Mail Courtney Moore's episode from two years ago is currently the most listened to episode. She's back to see if she can top that one. Neither of us remembered what we talked about last time, so this may be little more than a repeat of that one.
