Backwoods 'n Forwards
from A Generational Thing · host Natalia Latham and Angela J Latham
Send a text Natalia and Angela, two country gals with big city aspirations, talk about how places shape us. They celebrate and critique their own "backwoods" origins in an episode packed with riffs on rural life and art: country music, political signs, woodsy adventures, red-neckery, church, tractors, even Andrew Wyeth! The girls have questions, so many questions. Are we mostly just a big cluster of all the places we've been? Is living just shapeshifting––becoming who you are, where you are, then figuring out how to adapt everywhere else you go? Can we ever really feel at home again once we leave "home" behind? Don't expect answers to these hard questions! Do expect to encounter wild, wonderful, and not-so-wonderful examples of country life plus some shoutouts to a few of the girls' favorite "backwoods 'n forwards" heroines.Episode notes: Carrie Chapman Catt/League of Women VotersKimberle Crenshaw/IntersectionalityJoyce Sutphen, "Girl on a Tractor"Despoina Tsoli, “Andrew Wyeth’s ‘Christina’s World’: A Closer Look” Timothy Egan, Fever in the Heartland: The Ku Klux Klan's Plot to Take Over America and the Woman Who Stopped Them (Madge Oberholtzer)Blaire Erskine (Instagram) Images: Photographs referenced on this episode are available to view on Instagram: @agenerationalthingpodcast and at A Generational Thing Podcast on FacebookAGT and Nat and Ang on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/agenerationalthingpodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/natalia_latham/ https://www.instagram.com/angelajoylatham/Logo by Kara Joy Schrock: https://www.instagram.com/kjreliquaries/Technical consultant, Tim GodbyMusic (for regular episodes):"Curious Documentary" by Jon Presstone (intro and transitions)"I Feel Fire" by we20fifty (outro)
