Discover the food, fashion, linguistics, culture, holidays, and traditions of the American South with Viral sensation and TikToker Landon Bryant (@LandonTalks). If there’s one thing Landon knows, it’s the South. His anthropological dissections of customs and traditions celebrating all things Southern are a mix of humor, history, and head nodding.
