Southern Culture on the Skids

In tribute to our guest Andrea Kirby -- a pioneering woman in sportscasting -- we present songs by Southern artists that feature sports ... or at least mention them somewhere. (We kick off with the not-technically-Southern "Wide World of Sports" theme in honor of Andrea's time on the show.)

We'll do new playlists on off weeks betweenSouthBound episodes, which you can subscribe to on iTunesStitcher and NPR One.

Let us know which songs and sounds should fit in this mix: send a tweet to @tommytomlinson or @wfae, and use the hashtag #WFAESouthBound. You can also email us at tomlinsonwrites@gmail.com.

Tommy Tomlinson has hosted the podcast SouthBound for WFAE since 2017. He also does a commentary, On My Mind, which airs every Monday.
