In episode 319, we sit down with 🎙️ Brandon Boudreaux, Executive Director of the Maritime & Seafood Industry Museum in Biloxi, MS. From working as a deckhand at just 15 years old ⚓ to now leading the museum, Brandon shares his incredible journey and deep family ties to the Gulf Coast’s maritime heritage.
We dive into the history of Biloxi as the seafood capital of the world 🦪, the cultural gumbo that makes the Coast unique 🌎, and the museum’s role in keeping those stories alive 📖. Brandon also talks about surviving Katrina 🌊, rebuilding the museum 🏛️, and how the schooners continue to serve as living history ⛵.
If you love Gulf Coast history, seafood culture, or just want to hear stories that connect generations, this is an episode you don’t want to miss 🎧
Also big thanks to Southern Magnolia Smiles, Forever Young Men's and Women Health, and Taylor and Cox Law Firm, for the support!
