Colin asks friend and fellow Civil War scholar Dr. Chris Graham to stop by to talk about two things that are often on their minds: Confederate monuments in Richmond and the Alabama band Drive-By Truckers. As it turns out, these seemingly unrelated topics have a lot in common: the currents of southern history that flow from the mid-19th century to the early 21st. Also, drumming great Ginger Baker stops by the studio to offer some words of wisdom.

Interested in more talks related to Drive-By Truckers? Check out Colin’s interview last year with Truckers artist, musician, and Richmond native Wes Freed.
