| Visit Birmingham: Weekend Edition | 08 Feb 2022 | 00:24:43 | |
Last year, the city of Birmingham, Alabama celebrated its 150th anniversary. 150 years ago, iron ore, coal and limestone defined Birmingham. Today, however, it may be more synonymous with the civil rights movement. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said of Birmingham, “I like to believe that the negative extremes of Birmingham's past will resolve into the positive and utopian extreme of her future, that the sins of a dark yesterday will be redeemed in the achievements of a bright tomorrow.” We had a chance to visit the Magic City, and we're here to tell you all about it.

| Negro Spirituals feat. Fisk Jubilee Singers | 02 Nov 2021 | 00:27:38 | |
Negro Spirituals consist of a set of songs that were created by slaves during their time of slavery and were sung from spirit to Spirit. They carry messages from God to us, and today we can still build inspiration from these songs. The Fisk Jubilee Singers are an American a cappella ensemble that performs Negro spirituals originally sung by slaves prior to the Civil War. The first group of Singers arranged the music and took it on the road beginning in 1871 introducing the public to a new genre that remains a vibrant musical tradition today. We had the chance to speak with Dr. Paul T. Kwami, Musical Director of the Fisk Jubilee Singers. Kwami was born in Ghana, West Africa, one of seven children. His father, a musician, taught him piano, violin, theory, and conducting. He studied music at Ghana’s National Academy of Music and taught there until immigrating to the US in 1983 as a student at Fisk University. He promptly joined the Fisk Jubilee Singers.After graduating Fisk in 1985 he continued to study music at Western Michigan University and graduated in 1987 with the Master of Music degree. In the spring of 1994 he was solicited to serve as part-time director of the Fisk Jubilee Singers. In the fall of the same year, he was promoted to full time faculty member in the music department and became the Musical Director of the ensemble. He is the first African to direct the Fisk Jubilee Singers, and the first to hold the Curb-Beaman Chair position. He is currently the Mike Curb Jubilee Singers Endowed Chair. Kwami received the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in conducting from the American Conservatory of Music. Kwami, a composer and arranger, feels a deep connection between Negro spirituals and the music of his Motherland. “The music we sing today helps to bridge the gap between Africans and African-Americans,” he says. “I am reminded of my life in Ghana whenever I hear the Fisk Jubilee Singers sing the Negro spirituals.” As the Fisk Jubilee Singers are celebrating 150 years this year, we thought this was the perfect time to cover this topic.

| Muscadines | 12 Oct 2021 | 00:23:57 | |

We visited a muscadine winery just outside of Centerville, Tennessee.. Grinder’s Switch Winery which we are excited to tell y’all all about.

| Sorghum | 05 Oct 2021 | 00:26:59 | |
Deep in the hills of Tennessee, midway between Nashville and Knoxville lies a little community called Muddy Pond. During September and October, you can smell the aroma of freshly made sorghum syrup being made by this family-run farm. We had the opportunity to visit last weekend and are excited to share all about our adventures! The sorghum plant, which is a grass, arrived with the African slave trade and spread throughout the American south due to its resilience against hot temperatures and dry conditions. In this episode we are focusing on sweet sorghum; discovering the process from plant to bottle and how to use it.

| Gullah Geechee | 07 May 2024 | 00:25:44 | |
Located on the sea islands of South Carolina and Georgia are communities of people who are descendants of enslaved Africans. They have a unique culture that is directly linked to West Africa. In South Carolina, this group of African-Americans and the language they speak are referred to as Gullah, and in Georgia they are called Geechee. Many historians believe the word Gullah comes from Angola a West African country from which many of the slaves came. Another idea is that Gullah is from the Gola, a tribe from the border of Liberia and Sierra Leone West Africa, although the exact origin of the word is not known most historians agree that the Gulla people and their language have African roots us at the table as we discussed this piece of southern culture Mentioned in this episode:

| Stack Cakes | 14 Sep 2021 | 00:27:50 | |
In this episode we are talking about a dessert that you might see at a community gathering, especially in the mountains of Appalachia. It’s pretty tall, not too sweet and as the story goes even a community effort. The Apple Stack Cake is a labor of love. It looks more like big thick pancakes with filling in between each layer. This cake screams fall - the filling is dried apple slices, brown sugar, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground allspice and ground nutmeg. In the South, this time of year you are very likely to see or hear about other stack cakes as well. These all have frosting: Caramel Cake, Fig Cake, Italian Cream Cake, Coconut Cake, Black Forest Cake, Lane Cake, Carrot Cake, Red Velvet Cake and the infamous Hummingbird Cake.

| Packhorse Librarians | 07 Sep 2021 | 00:29:09 | |
Judy Blume once said "Librarians save lives: by handing the right book, at the right time, to a kid in need." Librarians play an important role in the lives of those who love to read. But what if you had no access to a library nor books? Today we are discussing some heroic librarians that filled a gap in a time of great need in the South. Under President Roosevlet, The Pack Horse Library initiative provided women jobs as librarians sent deep into Appalachia on horseback to deliver books. The project was implemented by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), and today we are honoring these steel magnolias that saved lives in Kentucky through books. Additional resources mentioned:

| Thrasher Brothers | 18 May 2021 | 00:34:06 | |
Today we have special guests Neil and Stan Thrasher; two lifelong southerners with plenty to say about life in the South. Neil Thrasher is a country music singer/songwriter. His songs have been recorded by some of music’s most successful acts including: Jason Aldean, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Randy Houser, Ronnie Dunn, Tyler Farr, Reba McEntire, and many others. Some of Neil’s #1 hit songs include:
In 2010 Neil was awarded “GMA’s Country Song Of the Year” for “Somebody Like Me” recorded by Jason Crabb earning him his first Dove Award. In 2013 Neil was honored with “ASCAP Country Song Of The Year” for “How Country Feels” by Randy Houser. When not writing, producing or singing on the next project you will most likely find Neil out on the golf course, hunting or spending time with his family. Stan Thrasher is a businessman who has traveled much of the South’s small towns. He’s our favorite person to listen to with stories from this region. He knows all the backroads and best diners, plus the history behind so much of the cuisine in Mississippi and Alabama! He is an outstanding cook and remained way too humble on the episode about his skills in the kitchen. Stan and Neil grew up in Birmingham, Alabama and both live outside of Nashville, Tennessee. Song demos in this episode were provided by and performed by Neil Thrasher:

Foxfire started in 1966 at Rabun Gap-Nacoochee High School when an English teacher had students go out and talk to neighbors and elders to find out what their lives were like when they were growing up in Northeast Georgia.

| Gumbo | 30 Mar 2021 | 00:30:33 | |
Gumbo, the official cuisine of Louisiana, is a thick stew which consists primarily of a strongly-flavored stock, meat or shellfish, a thickener, and the Cajun/Creole "holy trinity" ― celery, bell peppers, and onions. It's sometimes hard to get your hands on a great gumbo recipe, so we took a cooking class to immerse ourselves in this spicy goodness! ___ Join our patron supporters for bonus episodes and perks at https://www.patreon.com/steelmagnolias Follow us on Instagram @SteelMagnoliasPodcast Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/steel-magnolias-podcast/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy | |||

We’re taking on a divisive topic amongst southerners: bar-b-que sauce. Everyone has an opinion on this so we should probably tread lightly.

| Opossums and Armadillos | 16 Feb 2021 | 00:36:08 | |
A not-so-sexy subject, yet one that we thought these critters deserve as they are definitely a part of life in the south! Opossums or “white beast” are actually a help to gardeners because they eat pests like beetles and slugs, and also help control tick populations.

| Delta Tamales | 09 Feb 2021 | 00:28:26 | |
How delta tamales got here is still a mystery. Some say migrant cotton harvesters from Mexico introduced the Mississippi Delta region to them in the early 1900’s, which made African-American residents start making them too! They are a notable cuisine in the South and today we are diving into these delicious wrapped foods!

| Pep Talk and Peas | 26 Jan 2021 | 00:34:51 | |
Today’s Pep Talk was inspired by the video you can see here. Keep at it y’all! Field peas, crowder peas, cream peas (along with blackeye peas) are all part of a larger species of beans commonly called “cowpeas” or “Southern peas.” Despite their names, none of these varieties are actually a pea! WHAT?!? Let’s discuss..
