Great, Fascinating Podcast
As a native Southerner with roots in the Carolinas, Love this podcast! But you don’t have to be a southerner to enjoy it. Tommy is a considerate host, well prepared for every interview, respectful to his guests, and importantly, a host who listens to guests. So happy to have discovered in the last year. My wife & I just listened to the replay of the Stephanie Stuckey interview- terrific!!
Excellent podcasts!
I love listening to Tommy’s interviews. They are always well-prepared, insightful and thorough. I often listen to them when I am working out, and the time flies by. I am also a child of the South and learn so much about my native land through his interviews. Thank you, Tommy. Keep up the great work.
I have yet to hear an episode that didn’t fascinate me
Of all the podcasts I subscribe to this is by far and away my favorite. Just excellent interviews presented in a top quality format.
