概要

Back Porch Tales and Travels is a storytelling channel where folklore, history, and superstition meet the unseen side of human experience. We travel the back porches, museums, hidden corners, and haunted edges of the world — sitting with the curators, guides, folklorists, and quiet keepers of legend who have spent their lives standing close to the past. Here, you’ll hear the legends handed down through time and the personal tales that never made it into any catalog or archive. You’ll meet the people who carry them — and together, we’ll uncover the layers of memory, mystery, and truth that linger just beneath the surface. So come on up.

The porch light is on. The rocking chairs are waiting. The past isn’t finished talking — and neither are we. Hosted by bestselling author John W. Peace and Melanie Davis, founder of Triumph Press book publishing.

    Hog Killin’ Weather: How Rural America Put Meat Away for Winter

    Before refrigerators and freezers, rural Americans depended on cold weather, hard work, and good neighbors to put meat away for the winter. In Appalachia, they called it hog killin' weather, and it was as much a community gathering as it was a day of work.

    Join John W. Peace II on Back Porch Tales & Travels as we explore an old American tradition, from Appalachian smokehouses and Pennsylvania Dutch scrapple to Cajun la boucherie in Louisiana and limestone curing houses on the Kansas prairie.

    Along the way, there's a little mountain humor, some old-fashioned sausage-making wisdom, and a reminder of something rural communities once understood mighty well: when winter was coming, you didn't just make sure your own family had enough. You looked after your neighbors, too.

    A story about food, family, tradition, and the rural American spirit.

  • The Roots of Crossing Our Fingers for Luck

    The Roots of Crossing Our Fingers for Luck
    2026/10/13

    Did you know crossing your fingers has roots way older than you think? ✨ It's been around for centuries, starting as a wish for good spirits to help your dreams come true.

    Drop a 🔥 if you’ve ever crossed your fingers for luck!
    Turns out, it wasn’t just a superstition — it was a ritual where two people made a wish together, crossing fingers to boost the magic. Later, Christians adopted it as a sign of protection and blessing, and now, we do it solo.

    It’s wild how simple gestures carry so much history, right?

    Next time you cross your fingers before a test or a game, remember—you’re part of an ancient tradition.
