Project Details
The Gulf Podcast uses oral histories to tell stories of people and nature on the Texas Gulf Coast in a nonfiction audio storytelling format. Think of it as StoryCorps meets The Memory Palace meets campus radio. It's a bit of history and a bit of science, featuring important people and places of the Texas Coastal Bend. New episodes come out monthly.
