Chicken Fried Women: Friendship, Kinship and the Stories that Made Us this Way. The South is full of two things: stories and storytellers. The Chicken Fried Women podcast brings you both. These are the stories told around kitchen tables, church pews and front porch swings. They are the tales we laughed at growing up and that have been repeated down through time. Welcome to the friendships, the kinships and the stories that made us this way.
