About this Podcast:
Welcome to The Foxfire Dispatch—where small sparks ignite big change toward a better South. Founded by Gina Baxter and Liz Purvis, two left-of-center Southern women who aren't afraid to mix sass, substance, and soul, this podcast is your front porch conversation for politics, poetry, and everything in between. Pull up a chair as we unpack political headlines, amplify voices often left unheard, and spotlight stories of resistance and resilience from across our communities. Expect bold ideas, authentic storytelling, and a good dose of humor as we navigate the complexities of Southern identity and activism in real time. Whether you're deep in the heart of the South or just want to understand it better, join us as we prove—one dispatch at a time—that change down here isn't just possible, it's already happening.
