Zandria Robinson takes being a sociologist to a whole new level. She continues her conversation on the South by appearing on CMP and broadening horizons. Subjects include black southern heritage, the Ferguson riots, the southernization of America, commodetization of ideas, culture creators, and so much more. A podcast so heavy it’s worthy of enjoying with some honey butter biscuits and crunchy potato tacos.

To podcast listeners – as part of our strive for excellence we eliminate, “um’s, ah’s, likes, pops, long pauses, and lip smacks.” We also have a policy of no food or drink in the studio. This section here is an example why. Dan Savage was once berated by listeners for this and Billy takes that as a queue that listeners care about their aural experiences.
