Old Cars
The Albritton Letters
Episode 16 – “Old Cars” – The golden era of the automobile! That’s what it was called; those years in the 5os, 60s and 70s when cars were made with “style”. Big engines, and sleek fenders, shaped like the speedy space ships they emulated. This episode is about some of those old cars and why they were so cool. Also, why they continue to be restored and live on. The Albritton Brothers don’t answer any big questions at all. They just talk about things! Have a listen, enjoy and share.

Segregated Funerals
The Albritton Letters
Episode 15 – “Segregated Funerals” – Since the Civil Rights movement began back in the 50s and 60s, most institutions have become more or less racially integrated. It has been a long process and even has further to go, but we have made much progress in this area in the south. Except for funerals and mortuaries! The Albritton Brothers take on a subject that it seems nobody wants to approach. Namely, the still mostly segregated funeral business in the south and possibly other places as well. Why is this? The Albritton Letters talk about it in this episode, but as always, they don’t try...

The Pursuit of Trivia
The Albritton Letters
Episode 14 – “The Pursuit of Trivia” – Why was the parlor game “Trivial Pursuit” so popular? In this episode Lloyd and Phillip address the phenomenon of “trivia”, and why our society seems so obsessed with knowing trivial bits of information. Are we just entertaining ourselves with this useless knowledge, or are we cluttering our minds with this stuff? An interesting topic, for sure, but do the Albritton brothers answer any of these questions, definitively? I think not. They just talk about them.

Sleep and Sleeping
The Albritton Letters
Episode 13 – “Sleep and Sleeping” – Do you know about circadian rhythms? Well, the Albritton brothers take on a rather somnambulistic subject for this episode; sleep. Joined for this episode by their oldest brother Ronnie Albritton, they talk a little about sleeping needs, what happens to us when we are asleep, why some people CAN’T sleep, and creatures that sleep during the daylight hours. All very interesting aspects of this topic. You must understand that much of what they say is pure speculation if not downright fabrication. But let’s just leave it at that. They never profess...

Guns, Pistols and Rifles

Johns And Johnsons
The Albritton Letters
Episode 10 – “Johns and Johnsons” – A short tribute to a couple of euphemisms that we all use at some point or another, how they originated, and a little about WHY.

This episode introduces another one of the Albritton brothers as co-host; Ronnie, the oldest brother of the group. All one has to do is listen to a few of these podcasts to know that these guys don’t ever really answer any deep questions. They just talk about stuff. Intro...

Of course, as always, they don’t attempt to solve anything. They just talk about it. Intro and background music from Jason Shaw at Audioanautix.com Post...

Exercising for Old People
The Albritton Letters
Episode 8 – “Exercising for Old People” – Since the Albritton Brothers are all now...ahem...OLD, it seems appropriate that Lloyd and Phillip talk somewhat about the subject of exercising for the old timers. Avis contributes his part as his last co-hosting gig with The Albritton Letters. At least for a while. He’s headed back to his family in the Philippines. And it goes without saying, but we’ll say it anyway; they don’t solve any issues, they just discuss everything.
