Creed Bratton | 55 Folks (5/55)

Tune into YouTube for video versions of the show. Creed Bratton played a character by the same name on The Office TV Show ... but the spooky thing is: "Creed Bratton" should have never existed. Thanks to John Tyler Allen (no affiliation with this video) - he talked with Creed extensively for an article published in Esquire in 2022 and this was the most helpful of any sources when making this video. https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/music/a39662813/creed-bratton-the-office-grass-roots-interview-2022/ These days Creed plays his music and tours all over, maybe you can catch him in your city sometime. #theoffice #creedbratton Audio tracks provided via MusicBed and Soundstripe

Jim Bridger | 55 Folks (2/55)

Tune into YouTube for video versions of the show. This is a history documentary about a man from the early years of America. It's not really much of a documentary, more of a casual recount of a few stories pertaining to this mountain man that seemed to pop up all over the place during his lifetime. Tales straight from a world long gone. A story of survival and revenge. A man who led an unimaginable life relative to our comforts of today.

Mike Leach | 55 Folks (1/55)

Tune into YouTube for video version of the show. This is our first video - on a guy who was as entertaining as he was genuine… and all that aside was just a legendary football coach for his offensive innovations and resurrection of multiple mediocre programs. A warm and sincere welcome to our brand new channel. There is no one here yet but that's ok. Hopefully by folk 55 there will be a few viewers. Enjoy and we’d extend an invitation to join us for episode 2/55. We'll try to get better at this along the way and uncover some neat folks and stories.
