06/08/22 • 20 min
On this BONUS episode, we react to the Country Music Association's decision to ban the Confederate (Battle) flag in any form during CMA Fest of 2022.
Were they right to do so? Is this flag justly seen as a symbol of racism and division?
Or is it a testament to Southern heritage and pride?
