<![CDATA[Kudzu StoryCatchers]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/kudzustorycatchers One mic. Two hosts. A Universe of Stories.

Southerners just have a special way of spinning a yarn and, in doing so, impart culture, history, and important life lessons. Stories connect us, build bridges of understanding, and spark vital conversations. They do not simply entertain – they are a means of giving the best of ourselves to one another.

Join hosts Melissa Ford Thornton and Justin L. Newman as they venture out to share their own stories and catch those of others.
