Welcome

Poet Maurice Manning brings you a podcast chock full of down-home humor, tall tale adventuress, old time music and a little bit of insight.

The show was created in rural Kentucky where Maurice and producer Steve Cody traveled the backroads for a year, searching out remnants of our past, such as a one room school house and Kentucky’s longest surviving general store, as well as hidden waterfalls and the amazing acoustic spaces of several historic churches. The final episode features a tragic tale involving a murder during the New Madrid earthquake. The poems are narrative, set in an uncertain time, far from the beaten path, and deliver a cast of warm, funny, heartbreaking and oddball characters.

There are currently ten episodes. Audience response will determine if there will be more, so please let your friends and family know about The Grinnin’ Possum, and as we always say,

KEEP IT IN YOUR POUCH!
