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 9 A Different Love. The Story of Caroline Part 2
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Caroline Fenwick didn’t live a life that made headlines — but she lived one that quietly carried the weight of duty, sacrifice, and endurance.
In Part 2 of The Story of Caroline, we continue the deeply human account of a Southern Maryland woman whose life was shaped not by romance, but by responsibility. From her early years to a marriage defined by work, silence, and obligation, Caroline’s story unfolds against the backdrop of farm life, Pax River Naval Air Station, and a world that often asked more of women than it gave back.
This episode explores the unseen labor of caregiving, the cost of staying when leaving isn’t an option, and the kind of strength that rarely gets celebrated. Caroline’s honesty — especially when asked whether her marriage was happy — cuts straight to the truth of a generation that believed in doing what had to be done, no matter the personal cost.
This is not a story of fantasy.
It’s a story of grit.
Of showing up.
Of survival.
