Listen Honey

Listen, Honey! You may have noticed a little bit of buzz on social media the last few weeks about a singer-songwriter from Kentucky named Hunter Flynn . He's from Pulaski County, Kentucky, which is right down the road from me. So I hollered at him to come sing me some songs and talk about his music. It turns out his first single from his debut full-length album dropped today! It's called " Wasted...

Listen, Honey! We're back at the house this week and are workin' honey! Lucy and I have been tending to the baby chicks which are getting their adult feathers in, we've put up some birdfeeders because Momma will feed them birds, now. We've been sitting in our camper chairs in the garage with our binoculars learning bird species. One thing I have learned is that Blue Jay females make their husbands...

Listen, Honey! Y'all know that we Kentuckians support our own more so than a lot of communities do. So when McCreary County, Kentucky native Zach Day was featured on season 19 of The Voice in 2020 , we were glued to our sets. He was chosen immediately by judge John Legend, then by Kelly Clarkson and spent some individual coaching time with Legend before being eliminated. But eliminated is not in Z...

Listen, Honey! We're back at the house this week (actually Easter week) and you know I get moved by the spirit. So my step-sister and I went all over hell and tarnation buying baby chicks. And you know I can't say "no" to a bargain, especially when I know the Tractor Supply will cut the price if we offer to take every damn one of 'em. So I have to tell you all about that and the chicken coops and...

Listen, Honey! It's one thing to find an apparel company whose designs you like. It's a whole 'nother thing to sit down and talk to the brothers that founded it and have built a fun, successful small business doing the things that you like to do: Be good people. Jared and Joshua Ravenscraft are good people, y'all.  The brothers founded New Frontier 10 years ago to honor the spirit of Appalachia by...

Listen, Honey! Y'all know I've been to a couple of events for Bulls, Bands and Barrels . The professional bull riding and western sports entertainment events are great nights out for families and they mix in live music, too, which is what first drew me to them.  A couple of episodes ago, I talked to the founder and CEO of BBB Hunter Price . Go watch that episode if you haven't already. He's so dow...

Listen, Honey! Y'all know I was heading to the beach for a birthday vacation, right? Well, Lucy, Dylan and I met up with Hannah and James at Panama City, Florida last week and had the best time. It was a little cooler than beach weather so we really just hung out and let the kids run around, but sometimes that's just what you need to restore your soul, right? We're at home this week and honestly,...

Listen, Honey! Y'all saw on social media back on Valentine's Day weekend I was at the Bulls, Bands and Barrels event in Lexington, Kentucky, watching both western sports like bull riding and barrel racing, and amazing live music (Dylan Gossett and Tyler Nance were at this one). I'd been to a previous stop of the BBB tour in Huntington, West Virginia because my buddies in The Creekers were playing...

Listen, Honey! It's far too long to have waited without a good catch up episode so we're back at the house this week. But don't worry! I've been recording some fun interviews for the podcast the last two weeks, so all this busy is going to amount to something good. I told y'all last time that I was hoping for a quiet snuggle-time Valentine's Day (which is mine and Dylan's anniversary) with my Chee...

Listen, Honey! One of my online and offline besties Hannah Taylor drove eight hours from South Georgia to join me in Nashville to record an episode of the podcast. You may know her as @lilyloutay , the New York Times bestselling author of Measure With Your Heart , an amazing cookbook that makes her DE-licious Southern recipes part of your recipe archive, too.  Y'all?! My girl was on The Today Show...

Listen, Honey! We're back at the house for another catch-up episode of the podcast. Snowmageddon is over (can I get an "Amen!') and we're thawing out. We had one day that got into the 60s this week and, honey, I am ready for summer NOW! All that anticipation got me looking at my calendar and y'all have been inviting me to some events. June 13 I'm heading to Wise, Va., for the Kentucky-Virginia Dis...

Listen, Honey! The second of our recent Nashville episodes is live today and honey, we're visiting with the queen of Southern characters, actor and comedian Andi Marie Tillman . If you don't follow her on TikTok, we'll I'm not sure what rock you're livin' under, but it's heavy, honey. We even had a little ad-lib gossip session during the episode just for y'all. It was so much fun! Andi Marie does...

Listen, Honey! We are at the house for this episode. I'm telling y'all, I've done set up a home studio so we can do more podcast episodes. Now, I don't know what I'm doing, so these first few from my new home studio aren't going to win any awards for movie making, but honey, we're going to do some more catching up, more often now. The worst part was I was trying to set all this up with a day or tw...

Listen, Honey! I told you all I had some good episodes coming for you from our visit to Nashville recently. Well, strap yourself in for the first of them because in this episode of Listen, Honey! I go deep with the hysterically funny Danae Hays .  She is a side-splitting comedian who is going out on tour again this year. She's playing the Ryman Auditorium in March and I may have to reschedule my b...

Listen, Honey! I have arrived, y'all! I recently spent several days in Nashville experiencing Music City for the first time. As y'all probably saw on TikTok and Instagram and other places, I was recording future episodes of Listen, Honey!, as well as one other surprise episode of a brand new podcast I'll tell y'all about in a second. But first, let me tell you, I loved Nashville! Now, I don't thin...

Listen, Honey! Y'all know one of my favorite things this past year was going to hear my buddies The Creekers play live! If you don't know, The Creekers are a country and bluegrass band from just over the hill in Leslie County, Kentucky. They blew up this summer on TikTok when their song "Tennessee" took off as a viral sound clip . And it led them all the way to a big-time record deal with Warner R...

Listen, Honey! There's no person closer to Appalachian Royalty these days than author Silas House . From his award-winning novels to writing Grammy-nominated music video screenplays, he stands out as one of the more accomplished intellectuals from our neck of the woods. Honestly, y'all, when he said he'd join me for the podcast, I had to have a sit down. Y'all don't know how exciting this was. Sil...

Listen, Honey! It's Christmas time and there's no time of the year that's more fun and festive, but also more busy and stressful. Instead of having a guest this episode, I thought I'd just share some things I'm thinking about as the holidays get closer. I touch on everything from my favorite Christmas music to telling my parents if they're buying toys for my daughter, they'd better be intending on...

Listen, Honey! When you put three strong mountain women who like to talk in the same room with microphones, you get a podcast episode that never ends. I sit down this week with two women who are near and dear to my heart, y'all. Crystal Booth, who is @missfizz_ on TikTok , and Brandis Bradley, who is @makeupartistatlaw there, came by the Listen, Honey! Studio to talk about everything. And I mean E...

Listen, Honey! We might be just three episodes in here on the podcast, but this special Thanksgiving week episode is something special. I sit down with my good friend Nicholas Jamerson , the lead singer of Sundy Best and successful solo artist who has become the voice of a generation for mountain folk.  His new album The Narrow Way is amazing. He told us about the long process to make it and talke...

Listen, honey! This weekend in the Smoky Mountains was anything but cozy – we shopped 'til we dropped, hit up Dollywood, ate way too much good food, and packed in all the family time we could. In this episode, I catch y'all up on the trip, chat about my favorite moments and talk about how I'm somehow already over Halloween and ready for Christmas. Some more of what you'll hear: We went to Dollywoo...

On the inaugural episode of Listen, Honey!, I sit down with my friend, Curtis Koons , a triple board-certified medical provider from Kentucky, to talk about his incredible journey – from growing up in the holler to graduating medical school at the University of Kentucky. Curtis shares what it was like leaving home at a young age, building his career in medicine and what it means to come full-circl...
