Steel Magnolias Podcast

In 1933, Vernon Carver Rudolph, the founder of Krispy Kreme, bought a doughnut shop in Paducah, Kentucky, from a French chef from New Orleans. He received the company’s assets, goodwill, and the rights to a secret yeast-raised doughnut recipe. On this episode we are talking about the donuts that started in the South!

Episode Transcript: https://steelmagnoliaspodcast.com/episode/krispy-kreme

We got lots of ground to cover on this episode! We’re gonna be talking about why we’ll never stop loving the South and many of the things that we learned from this podcast.

As many of you know, we started this show 6 years ago this week. November of 2018!

We’ve come a long way in terms of our podcast. We have a better format, flow, editing, sound, yes, we still say “um” and get things wrong from time to time, but overall we are really, really proud of the last 255 episodes. We’ve covered SO MANY aspects of Southern Culture. And now, it feels as though the time has come to tie a bow on this project so that we may say yes to other things that we feel we are being called to or that we simply want to give space to, so that we can be called to.

We’ve put our heart and soul into this show. We hope you feel that. It’s been a true labor of love. I’m not sure you all will ever know how much we think about the podcast or how many hours it takes to set up, record, edit, post, share on socials, etc. but it’s been so worth it!

We had fun sharing our 'learnings' with you on this episode, and we hope you will continue to stay curious about the American South and seek beauty here. We believe you'll find it.

Peace Be With Y'all!
