Songs and conversation with Tom House (he's also on MySpace). A very social podcast in which we talk about politics, Southern Literature, the Nashville music scene in the 70s, poetry, books and record labels. There's a lack of ice tinkling in the background here, but we make up for it by popping open beer cans. Tom plays sort of traditional bluegrassy folk. He has an incredible old-timey sound and some very thoughtful well written lyrics. I think we could have spent several more hours just hanging out and talking to him. Tracks in this 'cast include (all Tom's original songs, unless otherwise noted):

The Last Desperate Man
Who Counts the Money
Sylvanie I Don't Want to Lose You
Here and Gone
Ft. Worth Blues (Steve Earle cover)
Georgia Queen
No Gala
Hungover and Haunted
