Snuffy Smith: A Lighthearted Take on the Hillbilly Stereotype - This podcast episode delves into the history and impact of the beloved comic strip character, Snuffy Smith. Created in 1919, Snuffy initially appeared as a sidekick in the Barney Google strip, but quickly became the star with his backwoods charm.

The strip has evolved over the years, with artists like Fred Lasswell and currently John Rose, all while staying true to its roots and proving its enduring appeal.
