Front Porch Views: a Podcast by Lauretta Hannon

True Southern stories. Some funny. Some heartbreaking. Some a bit of both. Short commentaries on everyday encounters turned extraordinary. Encouraging, uplifting stuff, mostly. Equal parts grit and grace.

 

Draw up a chair. Lean in. Listen close. 

 

Lauretta Hannon is a commentator for WRGA in Rome, Georgia. Her radio stories are compiled here in the Front Porch Views podcast.
