We open our 2nd season with a live show from our home-away-from-home Dee's Lounge — with special guest Elizabeth Cook, music outlaw and all-around badass woman.

We celebrate the new season with not only our regular audio podcast, but also a Elizabeth-Cook.com for more, especially about her upcoming film The Easy Kind and a new album, too!

Pull up a chair, grab a drink, and join us on our audio front porch for a terrific conversation and food for thought. Cheers, y’all!

Kelli and Sue host a festive holiday edition of Front Porch AF with family, friends, and remote guests sharing favorite traditions — from tractor Christmas displays and eggnog recipes to St. Nicholas boots and gumbo. Plus a Bonus Video of the gang singing “Blue Christmas” — Front Porch AF style.

Of course, there are Neighborhood Notes, listener mail, a Snack Friday Cookbook, and, challenging “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” for Sue’s new favorite Christmas song: Jason Quicksall’s "Git Off My Ass This Christmas”!

And we plan how to invite our fellow North-of-Nashville neighbor Pete Hegseth to join us on the Front Porch.

Happy All The Holidays!

Hosts Kelli and Sue welcome Lauren Egan of The Bulwark to discuss the high-stakes Tennessee District 7 special election between Democrat Aftyn Behn and Republican Matt Van Epps, the effects of gerrymandering, and why national Democrats are pouring in resources.

The conversation covers campaign strategy, cultural messaging, the role of social media and rising Democratic figures, the impact of the Epstein files, and Lauren’s reporting background from Washington to Ukraine — plus light neighborhood stories, DoorDash mishaps, and local happenings.
