Honored to have a new short story out at Salvation South today. If you're looking for a story about a trailer in Newport where they have an crockpot of chili that hadn't been unplugged since the 80s, you're in luck. Also if you want to read about tender Southern masculinity.

This here's a good ’un, about how, when you're a kid and your friends have better stuff than you do, it can fuck up your head. And how wisdom about that only comes later. salvationsouth.com/sunday-fatback…

“King Coal” airs Monday night at 11 p.m. on GPB-TV. For @ChuckReece’s conversation with director Elaine McMillion Sheldon, listen to Salvation South, available wherever you get your podcasts. bit.ly/48jjDJE

The weirdest, creepiest man alive. “Trump Declines to Back Away From ‘You Don’t Have to Vote Again’ Line” nytimes.com/live/2024/07/3…

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

This week on the radio, I talked about how to be decent and not be an idiot. Thanks to GPB News. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sal…

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 Chuck Reece thinks that perhaps the time has come to rethink that method. bit.ly/3SK0Emm

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.” Chuck Reece believes the music we embrace when we're young can change us forever. bit.ly/3WNn4EK
