Ain't is a Word - A Southern Podcast
Ain’t Is a Word is a Southern storytelling podcast from longtime newspaper columnist Toby Nix. After more than a decade of writing about family, small-town life, law enforcement, getting older, and the occasional bad decision, Toby finally bought a microphone. Some episodes revisit old columns and the stories behind them. Others are whatever happens to be on his mind that day. And every now and then, a friend pulls up a chair and joins the conversation. Funny sometimes. Serious sometimes. Southern pretty much all the time. And yes, ain’t is a word.
