They define much of what we think of as Southern culture, and they say a lot about our past, our present, and our future. Each week, Sid Evans, Editor in Chief of Southern Living, sits down with musicians, chefs, and other Southern icons to hear the stories of how they grew up, what inspires them, and why they feel connected to the region. Through honest conversations, Sid explores childhood memories, the family meals they still think about, and the intersection of food and music in their lives. Always surprising, always engaging, Biscuits & Jam is a celebration of the South—and the people who are moving it forward every day. New episodes every Tuesday.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-15T16:18:07.251790+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/biscuits-jam-408368"},"episode":{"title":"Ashley Cooke Is Ready to Tell the Truth","slug":"ashley-cooke-is-ready-to-tell-the-truth","published_at":"2026-08-04T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/biscuits-jam-408368/ashley-cooke-is-ready-to-tell-the-truth","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/biscuits-jam-408368","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/MERE3951310084.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/MERE3951310084.mp3","summary":"Ashley Cooke grew up in a family that moved around a lot, from Wisconsin to California to Florida. But wherever she lived, music was always a constant, and she developed a passion for songwriting at an early age. She eventually ended up in Nashville for college, where she got to know both the city and the music industry up close. After a string of successful singles and signing with Big Loud Records, she reached a new level with her 2023 hit, \"Your Place.\" The song became a country radio favorite, was certified Gold, and earned her the Breakthrough Female Video of the Year award at the 2024 CMT Music Awards. On August 14th, she'll release her self-titled album, led by the single \"Baby Blues,\" which she’s turned into a social media moment by singing to guys she picks out of the crowd. Sid talks to Ashley about why her songs draw directly from her own experiences—even her therapist’s office—and the exciting moment women in country music are having right now.
