Two Cat Town

In this episode of Pine Mountain, Then and Now, we’re celebrating one of my favorite kinds of small-town stories: the cats in the stores. Meet Arnold, the delightfully plush “Boss Cat” at The Cat’s Meow, and Bob, the black-and-white hardware store pro with his own red T‑shirt, a loyal fan club, and very firm opinions about dogs. It’s funny, sweet, and 100% Pine Mountain—proof that sometimes the best local characters have four legs and run the place.

Pine Mountain and Me

Episode 30 is here, and this one’s a little different. I’m sharing a bit about myself and a whole lot about why I love Pine Mountain—the people, the stories, and the sense of home you can’t quite put into words. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to listen and celebrate this special milestone with me.

The Feud That Shook Chipley

This week on Pine Mountain, Then and Now, we travel back to 1895 — when Pine Mountain was still called Chipley — and a moonless summer night turned sinister. What began as a small-town dispute over firecrackers exploded into one of the most infamous feuds in local history.

Listen as I share the true story — with a few dramatic twists just in time for Halloween — of pride, vengeance, and a scar that never faded.

Featuring voice performances by Phil Evans and Andy Cunningham.
