I teach at a college in North Carolina, and I want to make sure my students have access to resources that can help them understand the course content. The podcasts I post are intended for this purpose. Enjoy!
This episode finalizes our conversation about religion in the American South, though it also points backwards to some of the earlier ideas we studied. The goal in putting religion at the end is to get you to think back on the earlier episodes so you can see how the current cultural wars are driven by much of the information we have studied. As I stated in the episode, the goal is not to convince you that either side I cover is 'right', but my goal is instead to simply offer an overview as food for thought.

Episode 14 - Religion, Pt. 1 - Origins in the South
This episode gives a broad overview of religion in the early American South. It delves into a bit of theology, including some of the ideas and approaches that people of varying faiths/ideologies used in their attempt to reach/understand God. These concepts are linked to the growth of religion in the region, and I seek to give and overview of the topic for you so you can learn more through other lengthier resources.

Episode 13 - Music, Pt. 2 - the Blues
This episode continues and expands the conversation from the prior episode by looking at musical traditions handed into the South from Africa. This is a large topic, one that cannot possibly be covered in such a short episode, but the information I have shared is intended to help you start that journey. We cover some of the early history of these musical forms, including ragtime, jazz, the blues, rock and roll, and R&B.
