Customer Reviews
The South in context…
Thanks to Adia Victoria’s mention of the show on her podcast Call and Response, I found this excellent project. Equal parts good music, enlightening topics, scholarship and always relating back to the South’s underlying thread, this podcast is masterful.
Thank you Oxford American, an amazing magazine by the way. Thanks also to the incomparable Ms. Victoria.
My favorite podcast
Since its premiere this has been my favorite podcast! I rarely sit down to read a whole issue of any magazine, so even though I’m a subscriber to OA, I tend to get interested in pieces through the podcast and then go back to the issue or topic referenced and read in the magazine. Dr. Lewis is knowledgeable on the subjects and conducts great interviews—personable but full of interesting facts! I recommend this podcast! Five stars
Thoughtful and important
I look forward to each episode, and always learn something. This podcast is a wonderful companion to one of the best print magazines in publication.
