"Beneath the Salt Line" with Breck Pappas is a storyteller's podcast rooted in a singular truth: Life is different in lower Alabama. Everyone here knows it but can't seem to find a way to express this inkling in words. Everyone, that is, except for Mobile author Eugene Walter: "I come from that stretch of the Gulf Coast South which is another kingdom. Mobile is a Separate Kingdom. We are not North America; we are North Haiti. Because we are so different from the rest of the United States ... Someone driving southward will note a change about 50 miles before reaching the coast; a change in vegetation, a whiff of something in the air. It's called 'the salt line' ... it's the idea that attitudes change, life is different, when you cross over the salt line." In this special series, come along as we delve into the stories of the people and places that could only exist beneath the salt line.
