Southern Progressive Revival Jonathan Matthews

Welcome to episode 20 of Southern Progressive Revival for Sunday, January 24th, 2016. Both Jonathan and John had to take off, so Janet sat in the host chair once more! Thankfully Caitlin heard the call of being a guest co-host, and came to the show's rescue. On this episode we discuss the plight of teens today, Lewis Latimer, Rand Paul calling Donald Trump Gollum, Huckabee's continued defense of the Duggars, and so much more. So whether you've already heard it or are listening for the first time, come join us, y'all!

Welcome to Southern Progressive Revival Episode 19, our monumental Martin Luther King Jr. and Mr. Joey Word special! In honor of Joey, we played happy birthday on the banjo. In honor of Dr. King, we discussed a lot. Whether it was the three evils of society as he saw them, our special guest Sister Jo dissecting his six steps to organizational destabilization (aka enacting meaningful, peaceful change), or general assessments, we tried to leave no stone unturned.

Although that isn't to say we didn't have a lot of other things to talk about. Whether it was Gandhi and his view of the divine, his lasting impacting on non-violent protest, Bernie Sanders on guns, or an evangelical college that dares to fire a tenured professor simply because she said that Muslims worship the same god as we Christians, it got and stayed lively!

Howdy y'all and welcome to episode 18 of Southern Progressive Revival! John Kendall of Mic Check Radio fame decided to join us once more, this time as a permanent co-host to 'class up the joint'. Whether it was the establishment of an animal abuse registry in Tennessee, the EPA taking action is Missouri to keep buried nuclear waste safe from underground fires (finally), Kentucky's own Bevin caving on Medicaid expansion, or a Ted Cruz ad so bad that Joe Scarborough was left scratching is head, we left no story unturned. So join us as we, once again, explore the Southern Progressive Revival. We have the Liberal Redneck himself, Mr. Joe Lee, on as our very first Southern Hospitality guest of 2016!

Welcome to episode 17 of Southern Progressive Revival, our first episode of 2016! In honor of the Southern tradition that whatever you do on New Year's you'll be doing for the rest of the year, we had an all good news show. We covered a plethora of issues, went over New Years resolutions/traditions, and had a good ole time! So join Jonathan, Janet Lee, Joey Word, and special guest co-host John Kendall for a tremendous three hours!

Welcome to episode 16 of Southern Progressive Revival, recorded on December 20th, 2015! This is our holiday spectacular and boy did we cover a lot! For instance, were you aware that 49% of the general population prefers the term Happy Holidays in the United States? We discuss Christmas from a secular and religious perspective, the benefits of live Christmas/Hanukkah/Yule trees, civil rights activist Dorothy Height whose story is a gift to us all, Hanukkah with our special guest Dana Crowe, Kwanzaa and its driving principles, a special holiday conversation with Peggy Shafer about recipes and destressing during this time of year using meditation, and so much more! We also extend our heartiest appreciation to Macarone Bradford (http://thedopincrecords.com/) for letting us play his song "The War On The War On Christmas", Lauren Mayer (http://www.laurenmayer.com) for letting us play her song "Eight Is Better Than One", and the fabulous Carly Jamison (https://soundcloud.com/carlyjamison) for letting us play her song "Christmas May Have To Be Postponed This Year".

Welcome to episode 15 of Southern Progressive Revival for an episode jam packed with the serious and the funny, including a rather embarrassing moment where Janet made Jonathan blush his way into a commercial break! We had Mr. Dusty Dionne on, Wiccan and Georgia RFRA activist, for Southern Hospitality.
