This session of the radio show shares the conversation with my Franklin TV & Radio colleague Frank Falvey. We are joined by Franklin’s Recreation Director Ryan Jette who wears 2 more hats for this discussion. Ryan plays as a member of the South Street 6 band scheduled for Franklin’s PorchFest, June 1. Ryan is also on the PorchFest Committee.

Our conversation starts with South Street 6, gets into PorchFest, meanders along to other cultural events in Franklin during the summer, and then comes back to finish with PorchFest. 

We met to record this conversation in the Franklin TV & Radio studios on Tuesday, May 21, 2024.  

PorchFest is a free event supported by the Franklin Cultural District. 

The conversation runs about 27 minutes. Let’s listen to my conversation with Frank and Ryan.
