INTERVIEW Buckwild’s Shain Gandee addresses Senator Manchin’s letter, tells how he got on the show
MTV looks to have a hit on their hands with their new Dionysian hillbilly reality series Buckwild, and the clear breakout star is Wolfpen Holler good ol’ boy Shain Gandee. Buckwild has a cast of six young women and three young men from in and around Sissonville, West Virginia, but Shain is without question the hardcorest hillbilly of the bunch, eschewing such technological nonsensibles such as cell phones and Facebook in favor of more basic lifestyle accouterments like four-wheelers, beer, and tater guns. Keep reading for a radio interview with Shain (just don’ t tell him it was internet radio!) in which he talks about how he got on the show and what his reaction is to the now-infamous letter to MTV from West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin saying he was repulsed by the show and wanted the network to cancel it before it even aired.
