My guest this go around is Will Bearden. If you\u2019ve ever been curious about history in Memphis or the Mississippi delta, odds are you\u2019ve seen one of his videos, or perhaps come across one of his books. He\u2019s a southern gentleman who loves telling stories. He documents the people who\u2019ve made history in the South so that they may live on, and my hope also is so that he can live on amongst them. Enjoy this chat with Willy.<\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\"><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/whyamipod\/episodes\/Why-Am-I-Willy-Bearden-e19t85e\">Podcast episode on Anchor here<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/whyamipod\/embed\/episodes\/Why-Am-I-Willy-Bearden-e19t85e\" width=\"400px\" height=\"102px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\">Youtube version here:<\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wDZEaxUJ8bk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\">\n<div class=\"DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"97ugl\" data-offset-key=\"b0nt9-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"b0nt9-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"4q350-0-0\">Please show them some love on their socials here: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/willybearden.com\/\"><span data-offset-key=\"4q350-1-0\">https:\/\/willybearden.com\/<\/span><\/a><span data-offset-key=\"4q350-2-0\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/williambearden\/\"><span data-offset-key=\"4q350-3-0\">https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/williambearden\/<\/span><\/a><span data-offset-key=\"4q350-4-0\">.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"97ugl\" data-offset-key=\"3di9q-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"12otu-0-0\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">If you want to <\/span><strong style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">support the podcast<\/strong><span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\"> you can do so via <\/span><a style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/whyamipod\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/whyamipod<\/a><span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\"> (this gives you access to <\/span><strong style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">bonus content including their Fantasy Restaurant!<\/strong><span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">)<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, I&rsquo;m Greg Sowell, and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I have conversations with interesting folks to try and trace a path to where they find themselves today.
