The Midnight Citizen | Episode 269 | "Alabama Mud"

Join Mike for a drink outside on a Friday night, as he recalls the legendary crime fighting ex-wrestler-turned-cop of Corinth, Mississippi Buford Pusser, and the long-standing rumor that he ran out of town one of Alabama’s longest-serving and most-revered mayors. Is it true or bull-scat? Also, who else is opting out of watching the Olympics in favor of spectating its ugly-but-more-entertaining stepsister, The World Games? Later, I discuss odd rainbow myths, Thomas Pynchon and Elmore Leonard, and yeah…ughhhh…politics. “The Midnight Citizen” is a free, non-commercial podcast.
