A Gulf Coast storytelling project uncovering the layered history of Dauphin Island and the Mobile Bay region.
About the Dauphin Island Diaries podcast
Dauphin Island Diaries is a narrative storytelling podcast exploring the layered history, people, cultures, and coastal rhythms that shaped Dauphin Island and the wider Mobile Bay region. Each episode blends careful research with reflective, island-paced storytelling—inviting listeners into the enduring world of Alabama’s Gulf Coast one compelling moment at a time.
From Native peoples and early explorers to French forts, hurricanes, shipwrecks, fishing families, bird migrations, and the modern communities who call the island home, this podcast uncovers the stories often overlooked in textbooks yet carried quietly in the tides, marshes, and forgotten corners of the coast.
The goal is simple: to make Dauphin Island’s history vivid, meaningful, and alive—whether you’re a lifelong local, a returning visitor, or discovering the island’s stories for the first time.
