Hello listeners!
In today’s episode, I chat with local author Gerald Sliva about his compilation of short stories and musings, Barking from the Front Porch. We talk small towns, being Ukrainian, and good farm-grown Prairie food – Gerald’s book also includes a few great recipes! Gerald also reads a hilarious excerpt from his book – listen in on the fun!
