Why we’re pulling up a chair

We love this place.
We still have questions.

Some stories get passed down. Others get buried, overlooked, or lost along the way. We want to find them—and share what we’re learning.

Rocking Chair Radio is a place for forgotten history, unexpected connections, and honest conversations about being Southern. The things we love. The things we wrestle with. The things we’re still trying to understand.

You don’t need to know all the history. Neither do we. That’s why we’re here.

01 / LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER

The stories we missed.

Forgotten people, hidden histories, and the details that change how we see a familiar place.

02 / PULL ON A THREAD

See where it leads.

A name, an old letter, a question. Sometimes the smallest clue opens up a whole world.

03 / LET’S TALK ABOUT IT

Being Southern.

Belonging, family, tradition, and change. There’s a lot to love, a lot to untangle, and plenty to talk about.

On the horizon

We’re just
getting started.

The first stories are taking shape. This is where you’ll find episodes, conversations, and a few more things to think about when the listening is done.

FIRST SERIES / IN DEVELOPMENT

Follow That Cotton

A journey that begins along the Red River and follows the connections outward. People, places, and ideas—and stories that reach farther than you might expect.

Curious where a story comes from? Episode notes will include sources and further reading, so you can keep following the thread.

There’s a chair for you here.

Bring your curiosity.
We’ll make room.

For the stories we haven’t heard.
For the questions we haven’t asked.
For a conversation worth having.

New episodes coming. Stay curious.
