Life slows down on the porch. The boards creak, the mugs steam, and the talk runs easy until memory drifts someplace hard and true. That’s where Thorne Wilder and Brogo Mann live between coffee and consequence. Each story from the porch carries the dust of what they’ve seen and the weight of what they won’t forget.
