SUMMER RE-RELEASE: Katharine Armbrester Talks Southern Stories & Strong Women

In this week's summer series, we bring back one of our top episodes of 2026. Since 2022, Katharine Armbrester has been a  a contributing writer and editor for Alabama Heritage magazine, sharing her passion for literary history.

From uncovering the life of writer Sara Haardt to spotlighting artists through the Alabama Makers department, Katharine shares how her love of literary history, folk art, and hidden Southern creatives has guided her work. Listeners will hear about her research adventures, her deep ties to Alabama's artistic communities, her involvement with the Jane Austen Society of Alabama, and her growing passion for exploring neurodivergence in the lives of artists. This is an episode you won't want to miss.

Coffee & History: A Conversation with Alabama Heritage is brought to you in partnership with the Poarch Band of Creek Indians.
