Stick With It Stories: Greg Jackson Faces Regional Accents on 'History That Doesn't Suck Podcast
Our \u201cStick With It\u201d conversation series on the Top of Mind podcast continues with historian Greg Jackson\u2019s story of committing to get the regional accents right on his podcast \u201cHistory That Doesn\u2019t Suck.\u201d A few years ago, his audience had grown so large that he was immune to most listener criticism. But a message from \u201cLucy in Tennessee\u201d about the Southern accent Jackson affected in his storyteller cut through the noise. Jackson chose to stick with the discomfort of that criticism and step up his accent game. His podcast is better for it.\n\nPodcast Guest:\nGreg Jackson, host of \u201cHistory That Doesn\u2019t Suck\u201d podcast, professor at Utah Valley University\n\nTop of Mind would love to hear your Stick With It story.
