Sounds of the South

Work continues in the Kinard Audio Studios on the pilot series for a new radio program called “S

ounds of the South”. All semester, MPD intern Nelson Griffin has worked with producer Joe York to create ten 3-4 minutes radio spots based on entries from the New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture Music Edition. 

Aside from providing production experience and internship credit for Nelson, the spots he’s creating will be the basis of what we hope will be MPD & UM;s widening presence on Mississippi Public Broadcasting. 

Check back later in the semester for examples of Nelson’s completed radio spots on such varied southern musical icons as Jelly Roll Morton, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Southern Culture on the Skids, and many, many more.
