0:00.0	Hi, it's Annie. This is our final special episode before I return next week for our regularly
0:07.6	scheduled program, an episode with Hunter where we give our reading resolutions for 2022.
0:14.0	On today's episode, though, you're going to hear my interview with Joe Piazza and Christine
0:18.9	Pride, authors of We Are Not Like Them. The book is about a lifelong friendship between
0:24.9	Riley and Jen, a black woman and a white woman navigating a close knit but fraught relationship
0:30.6	during an unthinkable but all too timely and relevant crisis. I read this book last fall and

0:42.5	And I had the opportunity to interview Joe and Christine and chat with them about what it was like

1:36.1	Welcome to From The Front Porch, a conversational podcast about books, small business, and life in the south.
1:52.3	Part of our friendship of any relationship, really, is the tacit agreement to allow a generous
2:03.8	latitude for flaws and grievances, a trade-off that goes both ways, glasshouses, and whatnot,
2:09.7	and besides, if you start holding your friends accountable for all their flaws, if you let the
2:14.1	annoyances add up on a mental spreadsheet, the whole thing could come toppling down. Christine
