    Episode Notes

    This episode considers “bad words” Southern style. How did you learn to express frustration? What expletives did you hear as a child, if any? Did your folks say “cuss” or “curse”? Yes, there's a big difference! This lively conversation delves into the relationship between foul language or colorful expressions deployed on the home front today and when the hosts were growing up.

  • Thoughts of Harlem and the Great Migrations

    Thoughts of Harlem and the Great Migrations

    Episode Notes

    What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore-- And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over-- like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode? Published in 1951, Langston Hughes often recited the poem, Harlem asks what happens to a dream deferred, as grandchildren of those who chose not to leave the South when upwards of six million of their generational counterparts did. Our hosts consider their Northern migrations many decades later within the context of the Great Migration. Perhaps being among this remnant is what has kept the sayings and ways of the South ever present and alive in their households.

The conversation turns to insightfulninstances when the hosts unwittingly took wooden nickels in the workplace, and gave themselves space to gracefully recover.
