No tall tales!

February 11, 2013 By cottonr

tales 2

“Tales from the South” is a showcase of writers reading their own true stories. While the show itself is unrehearsed, the literary memoirs have been worked on for weeks leading up to the readings. Stories range from funny to touching, from everyday occurances to life-altering tragedies.

“Tales from the South” is uniquely Southern, in that while we don’t require that stories are set in the South (though a majority are), writers must be either originally from the South or live here currently, and the distinct Southern art of storytelling rich in language, detail, and voice is alive in all of them. Contributors are from all walks of life and include professional writers as well as those who have never been published.
Along with the storytelling, we also have live music by different Southern musicians who continue the storytelling tradition and play everything from folk to blues to bluegrass, and more. Musicians play during dinner. Acclaimed blues guitarist Mark Simpson plays the blues live each week during the taped portion of the radio show.

Listen up!

We air on Thursdays at 7pm on KUAR (FM 89.1) in Central Arkansas, and you can hear the show worldwide via streaming audio at www.kuar.org Our show rebroadcasts at 9am CT Sundays (UTC 5) on World Radio Network (www.wrn.org) on the WRN English Europe channel.
