Summary

For some, life on the Gulf Coast is a religion, and now, we've got our very own Bible of sorts: Saints of Old Florida, a gorgeous new lifestyle book by Emily Raffield, Melissa Farrell, and Christina McDermott. Emily and Melissa chatted with Annie and Chris about life on the coast, their favorite coastal memories, and why collecting our Southern stories is so important. For more information about Emily, Melissa, Christina, and their new book, visit their website, Saints of Old Florida. The book can be purchased online or through several locally-owned shops in and around the coast; a full stockist list is here. Melissa's shop in Port St. Joe is called Joseph's Cottage. In this episode, books and podcasts mentioned include: + Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert + Ecology of a Cracker Childhood by Janisse Ray + Garance Dore's podcast, Pardon My French
