In this episode of The Travel Wins, I sit down with Gale Bird, one of Charleston, South Carolina's most compelling rising bands—known for their harmony-rich intimacy, electrifying stage energy, and storytelling rooted in Lowcountry life. If you're a fan of southern Americana, indie rock warmth, and authentic artistry, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Gale Bird is a trio with a rare balance: powerful enough to lift a roof with full-band rock-and-roll, yet intentional enough to quiet a packed room with soft, layered harmonies. Their performances feel big and cinematic one moment, and then suddenly personal—like you're hearing a song in your living room with old friends.Their sound was shaped by longtime friends Joshua Gale and Sean Monahan, who began writing songs together in their early twenties while attending college in Charleston. After years of life, travel, and creative growth, they reunited with a mission to finish what they started. The missing piece arrived right at home: Joshua's wife, Melissa, whose vocals and presence added the dimension they didn't even know they needed. Together, the three created Gale Bird's signature warmth, chemistry, and character.Signed to Charleston's own Holy City Music, the band writes with honesty, soul, and a clear-eyed look at love—its commitment, flaws, and the conversations between the two. Their songs feel lived-in, weathered, coastal, and heartfelt, shaped by the Carolina coastline they call home.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland dress up for Huluween on this jam-packed episode - and you can see the video version of COJ Cinema on your LUNASHARK Premium dashboard later this week.  We unpack a wild week of contradictions in South Carolina's justice system — from the Murdaugh: Death in the Family series' chilling portrayal of Alex Murdaugh's unraveling, to the shocking arrest of Beaufort County deputy Billy Squires, caught on video holding four teens at gunpoint, to the ugliest of fat cats suckling at the taxpayer trough for frivolous investigations.  The conversation first touches on the emotional aftermath of Murdaugh: Death in the Family and Patricia Arquette's nuanced portrayal of Maggie Murdaugh, revealing how addiction, control, and silence intersected in the family's downfall. The team discusses how privilege continues to shape accountability in the Lowcountry — how law enforcement officers are “held to a higher standard” only when it benefits them, and how political connections often mean the difference between a perp walk and a polite summons without all the trimming every other person.  And finally, we're shining a light on one of the biggest threats to our state's fiscal security… lawyers like Mark Moore gobbling up HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of taxpayer dollars for fishing expeditions with little to no actionable results...

This week we finish up Artober on CP, in conversation with artist, Mary Jackson, a renowned sweetgrass basket weaver known for combining traditional methods with contemporary designs.  Based in the Low Country of South Carolina, Mary is the descendant of generations of Gullah basket weavers. Born in 1945, in 2008, Mary was awarded a MacArthur Foundation fellowship (“Genius Grant”) for "pushing the centuries-old tradition in stunning new directions”.  From the 1970s through to the early 2000s, Mary became something of an accidental Gardener, environmental restorationist, and economic driver, when she recognized the dwindling supply and access to the signature native sweetgrass that her cultural art and tradition relied on. This diminishing resource was due in part to booming development along the U.S. Southeast coasts, the fragmentation and destruction of delicate coastal ecosystems, and the increasing exclusion of Gullah basketmakers from traditional harvest sites. Mary took it on herself to organize the basketmaking community, and working in collaboration with this community and Robert DuFault, of the Clemson University Department of Biological Sciences, her initiative led work to secure sustainable availability and access to native sweetgrass (Muhlenbergia sp.) for the traditional basket makers, and future of this traditional art, craft, and cultural symbol. Gullah Sweetgrass baskets are an over 400-year tradition in the U.S. Southeast, first as a highly prized skill and centuries, if not millennia-old, passed-down knowledge of enslaved West Africans being brought to the colonies. These skills and knowledge directly contributed to the success specifically of rice farming in the region, where highly developed and precisely crafted utilitarian baskets were used for everything from carrying, harvesting, winnowing, to fine household tasks.  Gullah Sweetgrass Baskets are a continued symbol of the City of Charleston, South Carolina, and for over a century, these skilled artists and their basketry have been an economic and cultural mainstay in the region. All depending on healthy and abundant native sweetgrass, palmetto, and loblolly or longleaf pine ecosystems and supply. The “access” Mary catalyzed in response to this contraction of the health and supply of sweetgrass ultimately included: research into successful germination of sweetgrass at scale and teaching basket makers how to grow sweetgrass at home; the enventual introduction of Muhlenbergia species to the plant and garden trade, making it now a staple of the ornamental grass and native plant movements; large-scale plantings of the grasses on private and public grounds with permission for basketmakers to harvest and tend; and, finally, Army Corps of Engineers and coastal developments working to replant and restorate inter-tidal beach dunes with the stabilizing native sweetgrass.  All of this from one woman's impulse to cultivate plants with an eye to protecting the legacy of her people, and the future of their craft. Now an elder, Mary agreed to be one of the interview subjects of our 10 Cultivating Place Live events in 2024 and 2025. For the CP LIVE events, which will be included in the final Cultivating Place: The Power of Gardeners documentary film series, Jennifer interviewed Mary Jackson, Robert Dufault, and next-generation artist and Sweetgrass basket leader, Corey Alston in front of a public audience in Theodora Park, Charleston, SC. This week's podcast conversation was an interview with just Mary and Jennifer filmed and recorded live by EM EN in Mary's Studio, on John's Island, outside of Charleston. Enjoy!

“Mama” Orchid Paulmeier, the owner of One Hot Mama's, has been serving up Southern barbecue that's been a staple here since 2007. But Orchid's talents go way beyond Hilton Head. She's competed on The Next Food Network Star, and just this summer, she was back on national TV in BBQ Brawl. She's also been honored as a South Carolina Chef Ambassador and even cooked at the legendary James Beard House. From opening a brand-new One Hot Mama's location to bringing her flavor to festivals and big stages, Orchid keeps the spirit of Southern barbecue alive while making the Lowcountry proud. 

We're highlighting one of Hilton Head Island's most meaningful traditions: the Hilton Head Island Community Thanksgiving Dinner, hosted each year at Hudson's Seafood House on the Docks. What started in 1999 as a way to bring neighbors together has grown into a cherished event that welcomes over 1,000 guests each year. Volunteers from every corner of the island come together to share the day with others, ensuring that no one spends Thanksgiving alone. The Community Thanksgiving Dinner has become a true reflection of what makes the Lowcountry special—hospitality, generosity, and a deep sense of connection. Andrew Carmines, the owner of Hudson's, and Lesley Kyle, one of the organizers of the event, join us to talk about the history and mission of the event.

In this remastered episode of the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, producer David Moses revisits the fall of 2021 — a turning point for the investigation and for the people demanding accountability in South Carolina's Lowcountry.  In this episode, listeners rediscover how Gloria Satterfield's case cracked open the Murdaugh empire and set the stage for a national reckoning.Mandy Matney's original reporting and Eric Bland's fiery pursuit of justice unfold alongside reflections on how these moments inspired Hulu's original series Murdaugh: Death in the Family.It's not just a look back — it's a reminder of why persistence, community, and a little bit of “pesky” journalism still matter.Let's dive in...

Before Murdaugh: Death in the Family became a Hulu Original Series, there was a podcast — and one episode that changed everything.In this remastered edition of Episode 10: “What Happened to Gloria Satterfield — Part One,” investigative journalist Mandy Matney exposes how a decades-long pattern of deception surrounding the Murdaugh family reached a heartbreaking turning point. What began as a mysterious “trip and fall” at the Murdaugh home unraveled into a shocking financial conspiracy — one that stole from a grieving family and revealed the first cracks in a powerful Lowcountry dynasty.With new commentary from producer David Moses and never-before-heard reflections, this remaster revisits the moment when Mandy's relentless reporting shifted from true crime storytelling into a fight for systemic accountability. Featuring the first-ever interview with attorney Eric Bland, this episode marked the beginning of a collaboration that would help bring sunlight to South Carolina's “good old boy” network — and ultimately inspire Hulu's Murdaugh: Death in the Family.As Mandy says, “I don't know…” — the phrase that opened every episode — wasn't just a hook; it was a declaration of truth-seeking in real time. This is the story that made the world see the Murdaughs not as a mystery, but as a mirror reflecting corruption, loyalty, and betrayal.Let's dive in...

The shocking courtroom finale: Dr. Phil dissects Alec Murdaugh's trial, lies, and life sentence, the collapse of a dynasty built on power, privilege, and deception.   In the final episode of The Murdaugh Murders: Inside a Deadly Dynasty, Dr. Phil unpacks the high-stakes trial that ended a century-old reign of influence in South Carolina's Lowcountry. From the haunting autopsy testimony that exposed the horror of Maggie and Paul's final moments to Alec Murdaugh's desperate courtroom performance and guilty verdict, this episode explores what drives a family annihilator, how addiction and arrogance intertwine, and why even dynasties can't outrun the truth. Dr. Phil breaks down the psychology, the manipulation, and the reckoning that followed. Justice was delivered but the questions still linger.

Hulu's Murdaugh: Death in the Family promised a gripping retelling of the Lowcountry's most disturbing crime saga—and it delivered drama. But how much of it is grounded in the ugly, sprawling truth? In this episode, we compare the streaming series to the real events behind Alex Murdaugh's meteoric fall—from murder and financial fraud to the implosion of a legal dynasty that ruled South Carolina for nearly a century. We dissect what the show nailed—from the 911 call and cell phone video to the boat crash and Gloria Satterfield's death—and where it pulled punches. What's missing is just as important: the cover-ups, the privilege, and the decades-long abuse of power that made it all possible. The dramatization touches on the chaos, but the real story is darker, more calculated, and far more disturbing. This isn't just about a man who murdered his wife and son. It's about a system that let him steal, lie, and manipulate for years without consequence. Watch this before you believe the screen version is the full story. Because what Hulu left out? That's where the real horror lives. #MurdaughMurders #HuluSeries #DeathInTheFamily #AlexMurdaugh #TrueCrimeComparison #FactVsFiction #TrueCrimeTV #MurdaughTrial #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeBreakdown Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

As Hulu prepares to premiere its original series “Murdaugh: Death in the Family” on October 15th, investigative journalist Mandy Matney and the LUNASHARK team revisit the pivotal cases that have gripped the Lowcountry and the nation. This special release is part of a curated collection of 40 episodes, remastered and re-released over the next eight weeks, offering listeners a fresh perspective on the reporting and real events that inspired the Hulu series.On this very first episode, released on June 22, 2021, Mandy Matney discusses the Murdaugh family's history and recent tragedies, including the 2019 boat crash involving Paul Murdaugh, the 2015 death of Stephen Smith, and the 2018 death of Gloria Satterfield. We detail the double homicide of Paul and his mother Maggie on June 7th 2021, noting the involvement of SLED due to potential conflicts of interest with local law enforcement. At this point in time, Alex Murdaugh, the family patriarch, is a person of interest but provided an alibi that would later implode due to good police work and some dogged reporting holding those agencies accountable.In order to understand the double homicide investigation of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh, we need to understand the Murdaugh family, their power in South Carolina and the three mysterious deaths tied to them...

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell shine a light on the viral incident now known as Squires-Gate where kids were held at gunpoint by a cop on Hilton Head Island When off-duty Beaufort County Sheriff's Deputy Billy Squires pulled a gun on a group of teens and dragged them across the street, uproar led to silence from officials. Sheriff P.J. Tanner has not addressed the misconduct, and the system seemed more interested in protecting its own than protecting children. Mandy and Liz walk listeners through the chilling footage, the sheriff's troubling response, and the tangled web of “good ole boy” networks that have kept the Lowcountry under the grip of unchecked power for decades. But beyond the headlines and hashtags, this episode centers the victims — the terrified teenagers whose trauma has been met with indifference by those sworn to serve and protect. Plus a little update from Horry County on (38:58) Weldon Boyd....  So much to cover, so let's dive in!

The rise of the powerful Murdaugh family dynasty and the cracks beneath the surface that would lead to scandal, suspicion, and murder. For over a century, the Murdaugh family ruled South Carolina's Lowcountry, wielding power in the courts and influence in the community. But behind the polished facade were whispers of privilege, protection, and patterns of tragedy. In this opening episode, Dr. Phil traces the dynasty's history, the fatal 2019 boat crash that killed Mallory Beach, and the events that foreshadowed the night Maggie and Paul were murdered. This is where the dynasty begins to crumble.

Few people beyond South Carolina's Lowcountry knew of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston—Mother Emanuel—before the tragic events on the night of June 17, 2015. Although the shooter had targeted Mother Emanuel to agitate racial strife, he could not have anticipated the aftermath or the out­pouring of forgiveness from victims' families. Kevin Sack is a veteran journalist and Jacksonville native who has written about national affairs for more than four decades and has been part of three Pulitzer Prize–winning teams. His debut book, Mother Emanuel, is a sweeping history of the first AME church in the South and a profound story of courage and grace amid the fight for racial justice.  A native of Jacksonville, Florida, and a graduate of Duke University, Kevin Sack spent thirty years on the staff of The New York Times, where he specialized in writing long-form narrative and investigative reports, often related to race. He also has written for the Los Angeles Times and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and his work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine. He was a 2019 Emerson Collective Fellow at New America.  Interviewer Isaiah Oliver is the third president of The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida, Florida's oldest and one of its largest community foundations, established in 1964. He leads a seasoned 30-person team that manages more than $700 million in assets and distributed over $85 million in grants in 2024. Isaiah's commitment to community leadership is evident through his service on the Jacksonville Civic Council and as Co-Chair of the Jacksonville Transformation Coalition. Nationally, he serves as Chair of the Board of Directors for CFLeads and holds board or advisory roles with the Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy, ABFE (Association of Black Foundation Executives), Independent Sector, and the Council on Foundations Public Policy Advisory Committee. A Fellow of the inaugural class of the Civil Society Fellowship—a partnership of the AntiDefamation League and The Aspen Institute—Isaiah is also a member of the Aspen Global Leadership Network.   --- Never miss an event!

This week, Big Chief heads to the Lowcountry to sit down with Burnt Church Distillery President Chris Crowe and Head Distiller Peter Thompson in Bluffton, South Carolina. Together, they dive into the traditions of Carolina grains and the bold vision behind one of the Southeast's most exciting craft distilleries. The tasting kicks off with Johny Fever Small Batch, a four-grain whiskey that immediately caught the Big Man's attention with its balance and character. From there, they raise the bar with Anita's Choice, a six-grain whiskey layered with depth, complexity, and a flavor profile that demands respect. In the second half of the show, Big Chief pours a truly unique expression: Bluffton Whiskey, an American rice whiskey crafted with Carolina Gold rice. Its striking character is unlike anything else on the market. The journey ends with Palmer's Stretch, a dark, rich, chocolaty rye whiskey that leaves a lasting impression on the palate and the soul. This episode is more than a tasting, it's a celebration of Southern heritage, bold innovation, and the people who are shaping the future of whiskey in the Carolinas. And just like Burnt Church Distillery, Big Chief believes in the power of freedom of speech, the freedom to create, and the freedom to let your voice be heard. Whiskey tells a story and this week's episode proves that when you have the courage to be creative, the stories only get stronger. So settle in, take the ride, and remember—whiskey is best enjoyed when you sip it slow and easy. Let the flavors tell their story, let the moment breathe, and let the journey be just as rich as the pour in your glass.
