What exactly is a Southern home?

Last year, over half of all new homes in the US were built in the South. And if you drive through the suburban sprawl of growing Southern cities like Raleigh, North Carolina, you can see them. Sometimes it's the same home. Over and over and over again. In many locales, mass production and cookie-cutter design have made it feel like you could be anywhere. So, how can we reclaim our sense of place, and what exactly is a Southern home? Featuring: Jeremy Markovich, writer of the North Carolina Rabbit HoleFrank Harmon, architectLinks: Look at photos of Frank Harmon's gorgeous home in Raleigh, NCCheck out Jeremy's article Why Don't Southern Homes Have Basements?You can find a transcript of the episode here.

Storytelling's surprising digital age revival

Trading stories is an ancient and deeply human experience. But today, most of the stories we consume come to us through a digital screen. So it might surprise you to find out that we're in the midst of a revival of the old school style of storytelling. Turns out, sitting in a crowded room with other people, sharing funny and tragic and unbelievable stories live and in person has never been bigger. Thank you to Nancy Reeder of the North Carolina Storytelling Guild for reaching out and pitching this show idea. And special thanks also goes out to linguist and former Broadside guest Brody McCurdy for providing us with audio from the Voices of Chatham project, an ongoing oral history and documentary recording the history, culture, and language of Chatham County. Voices of Chatham was created in collaboration between NC State’s Language & Life Project and the Chatham County Historical Association. Featuring: Ellen Bland, organizer of Mill Town Yarns in Chatham County, NC Willa Brigham, professional storyteller Alan Hoal, founder and chair of the Old North State Storytelling Festival in Cary, NC Jeff Polish, founder and executive director of The Monti in Durham, NC Links: You can find a transcript of this episode here.Donate: The Broadside is made possible by contributions from listeners like you.
