Brown Water Banter is a Gulf Coast show about fishing, hunting, business, politics, and the people who live here. Long-form conversations with the charter captains, biologists, business owners, and local characters who actually work these waters — from Bay St. Louis to Pascagoula. Snapper season and DMR regs one week, one of the people who makes this place what it is the next. No script, no polish, just people worth listening to and good bourbon. Hosted by Jared Seymour and Joey Cates.
