Among the Sounds of the Southeast that we bring you weekends here on WUTC is “The Thacker Mountain Radio Hour.”

It’s a weekly live radio show - from Off Square Books in Oxford, Mississippi - that features authors and musicians from the places we call home.

“Thacker Mountain” airs not only in Mississippi, but also Alabama - not only in Memphis, but also here in Chattanooga on WUTC.

Jim Dees is the host - and thanks to sound engineer Jeffrey Reed and the rest of the Thacker team, we bring you a host-to-host conversation.

Listen to “The Thacker Mountain Radio Hour” - Saturdays at 3 PM - here on WUTC: 88.1 FM, wutc.org and the WUTC app.

Connect online with Jim and the show and Thacker backers everywhere at thackermountain.com - and on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
