Dissident Mama, episode 53 - Buford T. “Big Hoss” & Ellen McWhorter

The Dissident Mama Podcast

With more than 15 years in the entertainment and radio business, Buford T. “Big Hoss” hosts the live radio podcast “Buford T. America Bluegrass and Country Show” Saturdays at 7 p.m. Eastern at the website The Bluegrass Jamboree. Buford T. also believes in preserving heritage and advocating for the real history of the “War for Southern Independence.”

Ellen McWhorter is a member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and serves on the North Carolina Sons of Confederate Veterans Memorials Fund committee. She’s a member of the Madison County Election Board in Kentucky and has served on various political and civic boards and committees.

Together, Buford and Ellen are the hosts of the new podcast “The Road to Dixie” where they team up to bring listeners an informative and entertaining take on the South’s history, culture, politics, and people. In my first-ever interview with two guests, the three of us Southern partisans have a grand ol’ time. One thing’s for sure: Buford and Ellen ain’t skeered!

Be sure to check out The Road to Dixie and Buford’s Bluegrass and Country Show, also available on SoundCloud, especially Buford’s episode from January 29, in which he gives a sweet shoutout to the Dissident Mama podcast!

Note: Buford accepted my off-air invitation to return to my podcast some time in 2022. We plan on discussing his passion for classic country and bluegrass, which is something he happens to share with your humble host. We’ll talk all things roots music and see if we can’t find out a bit more about what makes Buford tick.

Ellen also agreed to write a guest post for my blog. The topic? Her pivotal trip to Scotland where she experienced peak anti-Southern hostility. Being that so many Dixians are descended from Scottish ancestors and that Scotland has many times throughout history sought independence from the United Kingdom (and came darn close to seceding just 10 years ago), you’d think they’d have a clue. But apparently not.

So keep an eye out for that sure-to-be thought-provoking essay by Ellen, a true Southern lady, as well as my forthcoming fun-loving conversation with the fine gentleman known as Big Hoss.
