Episode Summary:
Today’s bonus interview is with folklore expert Dr. Peggy Bulger, who led the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress for a dozen years. Before that, she served as Florida’s first state folklorist. But even before that, when she was doing her graduate research, Dr. Bulger had the foresight to interview Florida legend Stetson Kennedy about his work gathering Florida’s stories and songs. So, when we sat down with Dr. Bulger for The People’s Recorder, we knew she would bring a treasure trove of stories.
And now, for the first time, that conversation is available for you to enjoy.
