WABE Studios will premiere four new podcasts on the NPR Podcast Network during the month of February.
From news stories to a look back at the history of Atlanta’s cuisine, the shows have a little something for everyone. “Savoy Stories” started Feb. 14, where hosts Chef Asata Reid and Akila McConnell will take a look at the culture of Atlanta through its food. The first episode can already be found online.
The next show, called “What’s Good, Atlanta?”, begins Feb. 16 and will be released on Fridays. Comedians Mark Kendall and David Perdue will spend the episode highlighting their favorite Atlanta news stories. “The Podcast Where They Read Stories” starts Feb. 20 and will be released twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This show is geared at younger listeners and will feature notable Atlantans reading classic and contemporary children’s books.
The final podcast, called “Social Impact Leader,” will run on Wednesdays and starts Feb. 28. Produced by Plywood People, the show will feature interviews with pioneers in business, sports, activism and entertainment. Upcoming guests include Heisman Trophy winner and philanthropist Danny Wuerffel and Emmy Award-winning documentarian Rudy Valdez.
WABE also has a few more shows coming in March. A podcast where Chef Max Hines of Breaker Breaker has open conversations about what it’s like to work in the food industry in Atlanta is coming to the platform on March 5. Another of WABE’s podcasts, “Wake Up and Create,” is expected to return March 18.
