From juke joints to jazz festivals, barbershops to beach towns, these are the places that shaped the story of Charlie’s Place and the community that surrounded it. Some are still thriving, some preserved in markers and memories, but all carry echoes of music, resistance, and resilience. Plan your visit, explore the map, and follow in the footsteps of legends.
Charlie's Place is a podcast series co-produced by Atlas Obscura and Rococo Punch in partnership with Pushkin Industries and Visit Myrtle Beach. Hosted by filmmaker Rhym Guissé, the show uncovers the hidden history of a legendary Black nightclub in Jim Crow-era South Carolina—and the people who made it a symbol of culture, resistance, and community. Starting July 21st, binge the entire season early and ad-free by subscribing to Pushkin+. Sign up on the Charlie's Place show page on Apple Podcasts or at pushkin.fm/plus.
