    Before Myrtle Beach Was Famous: The Untold Story of the Grand Strand - Coasting Podcast EP#9
    Mar 17 2026
    Did you know Myrtle Beach played a role in World War II? Most people know Myrtle Beach for its beaches, boardwalks, and summer vacations. But the real story of this coastline goes much deeper. In this episode of Coasting, historian Kathryn Hedgepath—founder of Myrtle Beach History Tours—joins us to uncover the hidden history of the Grand Strand. We explore how Myrtle Beach first came to be, the fascinating music culture that shaped the coast, and the surprising role this area played during World War II. From early settlers and railroad expansion to legendary musicians and wartime airfields, Kathryn shares the stories that reveal how this quiet stretch of coastline became the Myrtle Beach we know today. Because sometimes the most fascinating thing about a place… is the story that came before it. 👉 Recorded live on the Tea Patio of the Franklin G. Burroughs – Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum in Myrtle Beach, SC. Chapters:

  • A Living Work of Art: The Story Behind Brookgreen Gardens - Coasting Podcast EP#8

    A Living Work of Art: The Story Behind Brookgreen Gardens - Coasting Podcast EP#8
    Mar 3 2026

    Some people travel across the country to experience places like Brookgreen Gardens. For us along the Carolina Coast, it’s right here in our backyard. In this episode of Coasting, I sit down with Lauren Joseph, VP of Marketing for Brookgreen Gardens, to explore what makes this such an extraordinary place—and why it’s one of the greatest daily-life luxuries of the Grand Strand. From world-class sculpture and breathtaking gardens to wildlife, history, and the brand-new conservatory, Brookgreen is more than a destination. It’s a living, breathing experience that locals often forget is truly rare.

    This conversation is about slowing down, appreciating what’s right in front of us, and realizing just how lucky we are to call this place home.

    👉 Recorded live on the Tea Patio of the Franklin G. Burroughs – Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum in Myrtle Beach, SC.
