Saint Mary's SOCO
Welcome to St. Mary’s SOCO, the podcast where Southern Maryland’s oldest stories find new life. Hosted by KT Harris, this series explores the rich history, folklore, and characters of St. Mary’s County — the southernmost tip of Maryland, where legends linger and the past still echoes across the Bay.
From oyster wars and Civil War prisons to ghost stories, watermen, and back-road characters, each episode dives deep into the heart of SoCo. Some stories are fact, others are local lore — but all are uniquely Southern Maryland.
Pull up a stool. Pour a drink. And settle in for a trip through time, tide, and tales.
