Those crazy Bubbas are back!
In the words of author Meg Barnhouse, "We're sort of the smart-aleck liberal chapter of Bubbas." In a sequel to their fabulously successful first book, The Best of Radio Free Bubba, they are at it again. The Return of Radio Free Bubba is chock-full of that unique Radio Free Bubba wisdom that they shared with public radio listeners on a dozen stations throughout the Carolinas.
This time, Meg, Pat Jobe and Kim Taylor weigh in workout videos, bug zappers, bad dogs, possum babies and much more. They introduce us to Abraham Jesus Frog, describe the Mind Wash technique and share some Yard Sale Religion, all with that loving Bubba brotherhood touch.
The second time around is a charm for Radio Free Bubba. In the words of a reviewer from Rapid River magazine, "These people are mad-and I mean British, Queen's English mad!"
