    <description>Welcome to the Savage South, where we celebrate all things beautiful, strange, and beautifully strange. It is a storied place where the past co-mingles with the present. A sultry siren call, and a lullaby daydream, and a switchblade hidden under peach orchard lace. 
Beneath the gentility and refinement lay a primitive heart. Cross her at your peril.
We love our music, and we love our stories. It’s more than tradition. It’s in our (wise) blood. 
Discover the wonders inside a magnolia bloom, and the mysteries of a sharecropper shack. There is no beauty without danger. Kudzu Godzilla will devour us all.
Cryptids, ghosts, true crime, and disasters, unusual animals, plants, and people, history, mythology, folklore, and religion, UFO encounters, literature, music, food, and culture. It’s all here. Become curious and be prepared to be shocked and amazed. Truth is stranger than fiction. Join us in our brave, bold quest, to get to the heart of the Savage South.

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode we talk about the sharks of the Gulf of Mexico. Well cover them all, from the bull shark, notable for attacks on humans, to the bonnethead, which has a mostly vegetarian diet. There are oddball sharks as well, such as the American Pocket Shark, and there are legends, such as Old Hitler, a great hammerhead shark with an evil reputation, a monster shark who has been featured in fisherman’s tales since World War II. Opening theme by Grumpy Nora, soundscapes by Christopher Hall.</p>]]>
