Saint Mary's SOCO
Welcome to St. Mary’s SOCO — A Sound Off Creative Original, Narrated by K.T. Harris.
This is the podcast where Southern Maryland’s oldest stories find new life. Hosted by K.T. 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.

Episode 6 - Risky Whiskey
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this "spirited" episode of St. Mary’s SOCO Stories, we uncork the secret world of moonshiners in Southern Maryland during Prohibition. When the nation went dry, the back roads of Ridge, St. Inigoes, and beyond lit up with copper stills and bootleg liquor runs.
But this wasn’t just a local affair—some of that risky whiskey didn’t stop at the county line. Rumor has it, jugs and bottles filled with "good juice" from South County found their way into the hands of the powerful in Washington, D.C.
