On this episode of The Heirloom Podcast, filmed at The Heirloom in Laurel, Mississippi, hosts Josh Nowell and Jim Rasberry sit down with 98-year-old WWII Navy veteran Jimmy Bass.

Season 1, Episode 6 | The Heirloom Podcast
Artist and Home Town contributor Adam Trest joins Josh Nowell and Jim Rasberry to talk creativity, small-town life, and how legacy often starts with a sketch. From murals to dinnerware, his work proves that art can shape a town—and outlive its maker. Recorded at The Heirloom Hotel in Laurel, Mississippi.
On this special Mother’s Day episode of The Heirloom Podcast, Erin Napier, Mallorie Rasberry, and Emily Nowell—three mothers and leaders behind Laurel, Mississippi’s revival—join us to talk about motherhood, memory, and the kind of legacy that’s built in everyday life, not on camera. As we say in this episode: you don’t teach legacy by talking about it—you teach it by living it.
Before Home Town and HGTV, six friends—Ben and Erin Napier, Jim and Mallorie Rasberry, and Josh and Emily Nowell—believed Laurel’s story wasn’t finished.
In this episode of The Heirloom Podcast, we revisit the early days: forgotten streets, late nights, small acts of faithfulness—and the belief that hard work without knowing the outcome can change everything.
In this episode of The Heirloom Podcast, we sit down with our good friend and fellow Laurel native, Ben Napier—builder, storyteller, and co-star of HGTV’s Home Town. But this isn’t about television or fame. It’s about how stories shape identity, build culture, and create a lasting legacy.
Ben reflects on growing up Southern, learning to build with his hands, and honoring the men who came before him. We t...
