    Creating a Destination: How Conway, SC is Defining its Own Identity - Coasting Podcast EP#14

    Have you BEEN to Conway, South Carolina lately? Because if you haven’t… you might not believe everything that’s happening there.   In this episode of Coasting, we sit down with Adam Emrick, City Administrator for the City of Conway, to uncover how this historic river town is transforming into a true destination — on purpose.   From turning downtown into “Halloween, SC” each October to reimagining holidays year-round and driving new energy into local businesses, Conway has created a vibrant identity that stands on its own.   We also explore what it takes to tell that story to the world, how the city earned recognition as an All-America City, and what’s ahead — including plans for a waterfront hotel and the redevelopment of the former Santee Cooper site into a new inland beach, marina, and outdoor destination.   Because what’s happening in Conway isn’t by accident…it’s being built with intention.   👉 Recorded live on the Tea Patio of the Franklin G.

    Built to Remember - Coasting Podcast EP#13

    Some stories are too important to forget. In this episode of Coasting, we sit down with architect Jessica Wise and retired Air Force Colonel Buddy Styers to explore the story behind the new Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Myrtle Beach — and why it matters so deeply to this community. For Colonel Styers, this isn’t just history. It’s personal. He shares memories of growing up here in Myrtle Beach — playing baseball with friends who would later go off to Vietnam… and never come home. Those stories are part of what makes this memorial different. We also talk about how a space like this is designed — not just as a structure, but as a place for reflection, connection, and remembrance. From the symbolism behind its elements to the voices that helped shape it, this is a project built with intention. Because remembering isn’t just about the past… it’s about making sure those stories are never forgotten. Short Version (Spotify / Apple) Some stories are too important to forget.

    No Windows, No Doors, Everybody Wants One: Golf Cart Life in Myrtle Beach - Coasting Podcast EP#12

    No windows. No doors… and yet somehow, everybody wants one. If you’ve spent any time along the Grand Strand, you’ve probably noticed them everywhere — cruising down side streets, heading to the beach, or rolling through neighborhoods on a Friday night. They’re not just for golf courses. In this episode of Coasting, we sit down with Chris Graul, General Manager of Gone Coastal Golf Carts, to explore the golf cart lifestyle that has become a defining part of life in Myrtle Beach. From understanding the different types of carts and pricing options to learning where you can (and can’t) drive them, Chris breaks down everything you need to know — including the rules, etiquette, and what makes this mode of transportation so popular with locals. We also dive into the fun side of golf cart culture — from neighborhood cruising and parades to fully customized, “tricked-out” carts that turn heads wherever they go.   It’s not just a ride. It’s your new lifestyle.   👉 Recorded live on the Tea Patio of the Franklin G. Burroughs – Simeon B.

    Guardians of the Shore:The People Keeping Myrtle Beach Safe - Coasting Podcast EP#11

    There’s nothing quite like a day at the beach.   The sound of the waves, the warmth of the sun, kids playing in the surf… and for most people, not a care in the world.   But that peace of mind doesn’t happen by accident. In this episode of Coasting, we sit down with Nick Jackson, part owner of Myrtle Beach Surf Rescue, to uncover the story behind the lifeguards who make that experience possible.   From training young lifeguards and managing an estimated 70 blocks of coastline, to creating a safe and welcoming environment for millions of visitors each year, Nick shares what it really takes to protect one of the busiest beaches in the country.   Because while you’re enjoying the ocean…someone else is watching it for you.   👉 Recorded live on the Tea Patio of the Franklin G.

    An Unexpected Ingredient: How Culinary Innovation Is Changing Myrtle Beach - Coasting Podcast EP#10

    With more than 2,000 restaurants along the Grand Strand, Myrtle Beach is home to one of the largest hospitality scenes on the East Coast. But where do the next generation of chefs learn their craft? In this episode of Coasting, we step inside the International Culinary Institute at HorryGeorgetown Technical College with Executive Director Chef Joseph Bonaparte — the chef helping shape the future of food along the Carolina coast.   From training aspiring chefs and championing sustainability to redefining what a true farmers market should be, Chef Bonaparte shares how culinary education can elevate an entire region’s food culture.   We also explore the ways the public can experience the Institute firsthand — from Flights & Bites events and weekly Breads & BBQ to the student-run Fowler Dining Room, where multi-course meals sell out quickly.   Because sometimes knowing the secret ingredients of your new hometown make you feel like you belong at the table.   👉 Recorded live on the Tea Patio of the Franklin G.

    Some people travel across the country to experience places like Brookgreen Gardens. For us along the Carolina Coast, it’s right here in our backyard. In this episode of Coasting, I sit down with Lauren Joseph, VP of Marketing for Brookgreen Gardens, to explore what makes this such an extraordinary place—and why it’s one of the greatest daily-life luxuries of the Grand Strand. From world-class sculpture and breathtaking gardens to wildlife, history, and the brand-new conservatory, Brookgreen is more than a destination.
