Southern Fried Gossip, Grit & Grace with Kelly Swanson
Funny Southern stories that make you laugh — and sneak up on the soul.
Welcome to a storytelling porch where humor meets heart, sass meets sincerity, and the ordinary moments of life turn into stories about courage, compassion, and the messy, beautiful business of being human.
Some stories unfold in the beloved town of Prides Hollow — a small Southern place with big characters and bigger hearts. Others step outside that world into real-life moments, personal reflections, and tales gathered from the road. Different settings, same promise:
💜 You’ll laugh first. You’ll feel something second. And somewhere in between, you’ll see your life in a whole new story.
Part comedy, part comfort, part quiet whisper of hope — these stories remind us that we’re braver than we think, kinder than we know, and never as alone as we feel.
Settle in.
Take a deep breath.
You’re among friends now.

Prides Hollow Short: Bra At Buster's Bait and Tackle
Another hilarious moment in Prides Hollow when they find a brassiere in aisle three of Buster's Bait and Tackle. Right near the egg salad sandwiches and the bait - where my cousin's water broke last year. Place your bets on the owner of the bra. Pot is up to $200. Things are never boring in this tiny town with the big heart - where the people stay but the gossip travels. Just remember, you didn't hear it from me.
