SouthBound's Best of 2024, featuring our favorite episodes of the year

We have made it to the end of another year, and it’s time for SouthBound’s Best of 2024.

Author and podcast host, Tommy Tomlinson.

Author and podcast host, Tommy Tomlinson.

In this episode, you’ll hear excerpts of my conversations with YouTube star Landon Bryant, political writer Michael Kruse, college football reporter David Hale, and a host of authors: Valerie Bauerlein, Deesha Philyaw, Kiese Laymon and James Lee Burke.

I’m eternally grateful to get to talk to so many interesting Southerners, especially in a year that brought so many changes to the South and the whole country.

Talking to smart people helps me navigate the world a little better. I hope listening to these excerpts does the same for you.

If you’re interested in listening to the full episodes with these guests or any others, all 180-some episodes of SouthBound are available at wfae.org/southbound. You can also find our recent episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app, and pretty much wherever you get podcasts.

 

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