- History Comes Alive
I enjoyed this podcast so much. It felt like I was sitting on the porch listening to the elders talk about their lives. I tend to forget they were young once & their history matters. The host did a phenomenal job. I visited Myrtle Beach for the first time in July & I wish I’d known this then so I could have swung by Charlie’s Place.
