Thacker Mountain Radio was the brain child of two Southern Studies graduate students, Caroline Herring and Bryan Ledford, in 1996. Since then, with great support from Square Books’ Richard Howorth, our Thacker family, and the Board of Directors, the show has grown in scope to be syndicated statewide, supports a full-time executive director and produces nearly 30 shows each year in Oxford and various cities across the state.
