TrueSouth: Season 9, Episode 5

9 - 5: Behind-the-scenes

The behind-the-scenes episode, a viewer favorite, returns. This time Wright Thompson and John T. Edge focus on the music, books, clothing, art and people that inspire TrueSouth. Billy Reid, whose clothing Edge often wears on screen, makes a cameo, along with Will Trapp, a principal in Single Lock Records, the Alabama label that has produced music for the show since season one. Joe York, who previously worked with Edge on Southern Foodways Alliance films, talks about how re-telling stories gives depth to narratives. Listen close and you'll hear a preview of season ten, which our crew is already scouting.
