In 1983, an 18-year-old in Damascus met Atticus Finch on a videotape and crossed an ocean to the country he thought "To Kill a Mockingbird" promised him. This week @Karim_S_Basha sat down with Scout herself.

Hey, @nytimes. Millions of people across America are in the streets and we have to scroll past three other headlines to get to the story? WTF?
Yeah, I'm outta here, too. Fuck you, @elonmusk.
Find me on Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/chuckreece.…
This place once was fun.
But now we're on the run.
We're now for certain #twitterquitter.

Sometimes, Salvation South has to follow the news cycle. Read Grace Buckner's dispatch from the flooded banks of the French Broad River and our pairing of poems that answer the Apalachee High School shootings with words of healing and challenge.

Martin Luther—not Atlanta’s own Dr. King, but the sixteenth century priest—wrote, “Next to the word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world.” @chuckreece believes the music we embrace when we're young can change us forever. bit.ly/3WNn4EK

For years, young boys have tried to prove they are men by imitating the so-called “manly” behaviors modeled by earlier generations. "Salvation South" editor @chuckreece thinks that perhaps the time has come to rethink that method. bit.ly/3SK0Emm
This week on the radio, I talked about how to be decent and not be an idiot. Thanks to @gpbnews.

Hey, @realDonaldTrump. You’re really old and incoherent. When are you going to drop out of the race?

In this episode, proud to welcome @domflemons, @revJeffMosier, and others to unravel some banjo 🪕 history.
On this episode of "Salvation South Deluxe," @chuckreece goes deep into the complicated history of the banjo, from its origin on the shores of the Caribbean and West Africa to its rise as a ubiquitous icon of Southern "hillbilly" culture and beyond. bit.ly/4dhxy5A
