Tales from the South 40

Signs and omens--words, items, and incidents that give us pause, give us a funny feeling that something is just not right. Buck Marsh has a bad feeling when his commander tells him to empty his pockets in "Snow Patrol". Clay Arnold recognizes an ominous pattern setting up before him in "Beware the Third Mule", and Dida Gazoli struggles to keep under wraps the word that has been haunting her for years in "What Death Told Me".

Tales from the South is a 29-minute weekly radio show recorded in front of a live audience at Starving Artist Cafe' in the Argenta Arts District of North Little Rock, Arkansas. Each week, everyday Southerners read their own true story, unrehearsed and live. Local musicians play during dinner, and blues guitarist Mark Simpson plays on the show. Stories range from funny to sad, to enlightening to touching. Writers are all from the South. Although the show itself is unrehearsed, the literary memoirs have been worked on for weeks leading up to the recording. All stories are true and told by the Southerners who lived them.
