No surprises here, especially if you’ve been listening to this podcast for a while or lived in the South very long, that college football is a big deal here.

On this episodewe are talking about the BACKBONE of college football. The talent and esteem found in marching bands are proof that music is an incredibly important part of the game and one of the South’s fondest college football traditions.

For more COLLEGE FOOTBALL TRADITIONS in the South check out this previous episode (one of our favorite episodes to date)


Every now and then, we come upon something we like so much we HAVE to tell you aboue. On this episode we shared a podcast we are loving: Vanishing Postcards. Hosted by Texas native Evan Stern, Vanishing Postcards invites listeners to ride shotgun on a road trip exploring the hidden dives, traditions and frequently threatened histories discovered by exiting the interstates. Featuring stories from dance halls, bbq joints, honky tonks and more, Vanishing Postcards is an immersive, touching and frequently humorous experience- perfect for when you need a breather, but don’t have the time or luxury of hitting the open road. To join the ride, please find Vanishing Postcards wherever you get your podcasts, and tell Evan we sent you!

"Any discussion about American music that doesn’t include Muscle Shoals, Alabama isn’t really a discussion at all.” That’s a direct quote from the website of FAME STUDIOS.

We had a chance to visit Muscle Shoals and the 2 studios that stayed undercover for most of the 60’s and 70’s while legends came to record with a producer and a rhythm section that should be household names. Join us at the table as we discuss the music of Muscle Shoals.

If you’re a big Lynyrd Skynyrd fan you may have caught the name Muscle Shoals in some lyrics, but you may have NEVER EVER heard of this place and that’s ok. But if you love music, you’re gonna wanna pack your backs and make the trek. WE promise. It’s worth it!

Clearly, we are lovers of the American South. There are many facets to this diamond of a region, but it has been the birthplace of almost all of the music genres. This great nation has join us at the table as we discuss western swing.

Western swing is a combination of many genres, including blues, jazz, polka, country, and more. It's characterized by a strong dance rhythm and the use of electrically amplified stringed instruments, like the steel guitar.

Let’s not forget that the point of this music was and always has been to get people dancing!

In this episode, we introduced you to our Fort Worth, Texas friend, Devon Dawson. Miss Devon is a top entertainer in western music, and has been recognized by the Academy of Western Artists as the Female Performer of the Year 2009. She's noted for her vintage sock-rhythm guitar style, and warm 'swingtime cowgirl' vocals, which bring to mind legendary B-western ladies of the silver screen, Dale Evans, Rosalie Allen, Patsy Montana, etc. Like them, her lively persona intrigues and engages both kids and adults in her audience. She holds a Grammy certificate for her participation as the singin', yodelin' voice of Jessie, on the Walt Disney CD, Woody's Roundup featuring Riders in the Sky, which was the follow-up to the movie, inspired by the characters of Toy Story 2. She has performed in and out of that character coast-to-coast, and all across the American West, including at the renowned Grand Old Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, and at Pixar Studios in Emeryville, California. Connect with her at: https://missdevonandtheoutlaw.com/bios

Driving down the road a RED neon light flashes on that catches your eye: HOT NOW the sign reads... Original Glazed Krispy Kreme. If you’ve ever experienced a warm, melty Krispy Kreme donut then you know there is no going back. How did 2 brothers in Winston Salem set out to make the most awesome donuts on the planet? Let’s take a coffee break at the table and find out...

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!

GREAT documentary series from the History channel called "The Food that Built America" - they have over 30 episodes and we mentioned the one on donuts... https://www.history.com/shows/the-food-that-built-america WE LAUNCHED A 2nd SHOW!!!! "Have Love, Will Travel" is a brand new show that is now available on all platforms and we created the show in partnership with the AccessMore Podcast Network, so you can also find the show on their app. Find it wherever you get podcasts: https://linktr.ee/havelovewilltravel

Steel Magnolias Podcast - Final Episode: What We've Learned from This Podcast
play

11/19/24 • 44 min

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!

-Lainie and Laura Beth
