Show Notes

In this week's episode, Rex sits down with Porter Briggs to talk about his new book "South, Towards Home: An Unexpected Love Story."

Porter, a Little Rock native, says he considers his adult life to have started when he arrived at his Army unit in Germany, citing a 4km trek using a map and compass in the extreme cold.

Porter also talks about his life growing up in Little Rock, his 1958 high school graduation and his time at Vanderbilt before joining the Army.
