Charleston: 'Where Rivers Meet at the Holy City' from Beauty to Brutality & Everything In Between
from Wherever It Leads... · host LUNASHARK
We are excited to release a new kind of content at LUNASHARK... Pack your bags... and welcome to Charleston, South Carolina—the 'Holy City' where church steeples pierce the sky and cobblestone streets whisper centuries of secrets. In this episode of Wherever It Leads…, host and LUNASHARK Producer David Moses takes you beyond the pastel houses and shrimp and grits to explore Charleston's story—the magnificent and the uncomfortable truths. From the hallowed halls of Mother Emanuel AME Church, to Fort Sumter's cannons and how the Gullah Geechee people preserved West African traditions against impossible odds. SALT Training Fitness App Founder Jenny Fisherjoins David and journalist Mandy Matney to share her favorite local spots and experiences, emphasizing the importance of supporting local businesses and engaging with the city's history. We’re also touching on Charleston's challenges, including gentrification, traffic, and flooding, and how visitors can positively impact the community by shopping locally and respecting cultural traditions. Charleston is a city where beauty and brutality intertwine, where church bells toll for the Emanuel Nine, and where every brick holds a story demanding to be heard.
