This is "The Living South," where journalist Billy Ball (that's me, y'all!) interviews game-changing Southerners. Each week, I'll talk to someone making a difference in their community. Southern artists, civic leaders, grassroots activists, chefs, writers, innovators, volunteers—it's all fair game.

I'm tired of people feeling negative and detached, including me. I want to help in the best way I know how, by telling stories about people who inspire and challenge us.

In this recording, I explain what I'm doing here. For the written version, click here.
