Not from the South, friends would wonder why I would be fascinated by biscuits with sausage gravy, gumbo or a big slice of cake. As the child of working class immigrants I have few illusions about the complexities immigrants must navigate in the South or anywhere else. I know there will always be some who are threatened by other voices and traditions not their own and others who will welcome them. This podcast is a window into the South, it may not be a view everyone cares for, but I’m thankful it’s there.
