  • The Less Desirables: August 5, 2026 – Gullah Whatchee?
    Aug 5 2026

    The Less Desirables Recorded in The Such-N-Such Media Studios at Liberty Plaza.

    Tim and Bethany return after a brief break to catch up on local happenings, summer adventures, and a few unexpected stories. They open with Winston‑Salem’s recent water‑main issue — the “water conspiracy of 2026” — and share firsthand experiences from the boil advisory and building shutdowns. Bethany recounts her Myrtle Beach trip, complete with a wasp sting, riverboat history tour, and lessons on the Gullah Geechee people, sweetgrass basket‑making, and Carolina rice plantations. The conversation blends humor with cultural insight and reflection on how history connects to the present.
