Mountain Mysteries

Stories from the Smokies

Welcome to the Gatlinburg Podcast

The Gatlinburg Podcast is a program produced from Gatlinburg, Tennessee and featured on Gatlinburg Radio.

While the station sits in the Smoky Mountains, the stories we explore travel far beyond one town. This podcast follows the spine of the Appalachian Mountains — from the ridges of the Great Smoky Mountains to communities, trails, and legends found all along Appalachia.

Each episode looks at the people, history, folklore, and mysteries that have shaped life in the mountains for generations.

Some stories come from local history.
Some come from old Appalachian folklore.
Some come from the strange and unexplained stories that have traveled the ridgelines for decades.

From mountain families and forgotten towns to the deep woods and long paths of the Appalachian Trail, the Gatlinburg Podcast explores the voices and experiences that define Appalachia.

The program is part of the growing lineup on Gatlinburg Radio, where stories, music, and voices from the mountains are shared with listeners everywhere.

Gatlinburg may be our home base — but Appalachia is the story.
