This week, I’m joined by author Chris Skates to talk about his historical novel, Moonshine Over Georgia — inspired by true stories from his grandfather, who served as a revenue agent during Prohibition right here in West Central Georgia.

Chris dives into the real history behind the book, talks about our local legends that shaped it, and reflects on what makes our town so special. He brings the past to life — and his love for Pine Mountain really shines through.
