The Porch Swing
Series produced by WFHB
A weekly showcase of true stories told by real people
Our stories are our lives. Stories bring us together. They reveal our differences and celebrate our common experiences. We share ourselves through stories as we gather with friends, family, and strangers around kitchen tables and campfires, in backyards and on front porches. Have a seat on The Porch Swing for true stories told by real people.
