Ep 005 - Sheri Castle: The Seven Essential Southern Dishes

We’re so excited to bring y’all our grand finale for this first BATCH: a conversation with writer and TV host Sheri Castle as she talks us through her piece, “The Seven Essential Southern Dishes.”
This is a good one y’all - it’s the Bitter Southerner’s second most read, discussed, shared and argued over story of all time. We’re talking about highly contentious stuff here. Sugar in cornbread. Cream cheese in poundcake.

Thank y’all so much for listening to this first BATCH of stories! We are so grateful for all of the feedback you’ve given us and time you’ve spent with us. We’re taking just a few weeks to get the next BACTH of stories together; we’ll be back soon!

Ep 006 - Janisse Ray : Okefenokee, Heavy & Precious

in Episode 6, "Okefenokee Heavy & Precious," Janisse Ray almost whispers her cautionary tale. Her voice is mesmerizing, her writing takes our breath away, and the message of her story sets our hearts on fire to save the swamp. Janisse is an acclaimed author and environmental activist whose first book, the memoir Ecology of a Cracker Childhood won the American Book Award. Since then, there have been many books and stories, some in The Bitter Southerner. We launched "Okefenokee Heavy & Precious" on our website this past week. Now, on our BATCH podcast, you can listen to Janisse read her inspiring words.
