The MADE SOUTH Podcast

Grab a drink and settle in for this one, folks. This episode, airing on the birthday of the great state of Tennessee, is a dadgum barn burner. I discuss many things with my dear friend, Joe Roddy, including (but not limited to) the best "Tennessee" songs, we debate 80's country music vs. 90's country music, and we talk about the recent passing of Joe's friend, Chris Elise.
