36: Grappling With Jeff Foxworthy

It's our mid-season decompression episode and we got a special guest who actually knows what they're talking about. Gabe Bullard from The Bitter Southerner joins us to talk bout the history of rural comedy and the lasting effects of the Corncob County era of TV. We're talking Hee Haw, King of the Hill, and the dogwhistle-racist origins of The Blue Collar Comedy Tour. Oh yeah, and there's some Andy Griffith talk in our Andy Griffith podcast.
