About the Show

The Round Table

Radio Big Muddy started because we thought it might help with marketing. That's the honest truth. But it turned into something else — a place to sit down with interesting people from the Deep South and just talk. About music. About food. About why this little town on the Mississippi River keeps pulling people in and never letting them leave.

We record at the round table in the parlor of The Big Muddy Inn. The same room where Amy plays piano for guests, where the Blues Room shows happen, where everyone ends up at the end of the night. If you've been here, you know the room. If you haven't — come visit. You'll end up at the table eventually.
