Welcome to Headlights! In our first episode, Jesse Mayshark — the founder and publisher of The Progressive South — introduces the podcast and project. What do we mean by “progressive”? What do we mean by “South”? And who are we, anyway? Then he takes to the streets of Knoxville, Tennessee, to hear from some of the thousands who came out earlier this month to protest the actions of the billionaires at the top of the federal government — including a Navy veteran, health care workers, union members and more. And in an arts & culture segment, he notes a milestone for Florida native Ethel Cain — the first openly transgender artist to hit the top 10 of Billboard’s album chart.
