About this listen

 True Southern stories. Some funny. Some heartbreaking. Some a bit of both. Short commentaries on everyday encounters turned extraordinary. Encouraging, uplifting stories, mostly. Equal parts grit and grace. WHO IS LAURETTA HANNON? Named the “Funniest Woman in Georgia” by Southern Living Magazine, Lauretta Hannon is the bestselling author of The Cracker Queen–A Memoir of a Jagged, Joyful Life (Gotham Books, Penguin) and has been a commentator on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered, where her stories have reached 25 million listeners. Her memoir was named “One of the Top 25 Books All Georgians Should Read” by the Georgia Center for the Book. A documentary about her story, Raised in the South of Normal, captured several dozen awards at film festivals across the country. She writes in a shed that was once the site of a moonshining operation.© 2024 Front Porch Views: a Podcast by Lauretta Hannon Art
