Atlanta Is... | iHeart From the underground clubs that birthed music that took over the world, to the hustlers who made the city a mecca for filmmaking, and the churches whose pastors influence politics, “Atlanta Is…” tells...

For the past year, I've been working on a show about the city I call home. That show is called "Atlanta Is...," and it is a truly stacked production ... starting with who's narrating our trailer: www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...

i pre-ordered the UY SCUTI vinyl assuming it would be good (i was wrong) and what arrived is a totally different tracklisting with a bunch of new songs…it’s a short, mediocre, weirdly tender thug record as opposed to the 75+ minute datadump that’s on streaming

In this age of celebrity chatcasts, all I want is an updated Red Bull Music Academy lecture with Metro Boomin and Young Dro

On ‘Martin,’ Pam and how we talk about art we love Ari Lennox's recent comments pave the way for an important conversation

I wrote about the recent “discussion” about how Martin treated Pam and how it bums me out that so many of us just flat out refuse to have conversations about stuff we love anymore. Stan culture and anti-intellectualism about *art* is ruining us.

My friends at documentary studio Rap Portraits have been putting out a zine that features an essay by music journalist Yoh and reader submissions that are equally as thoughtful.

Literally jumped at the chance to copy edit the latest edition. Read and download it here: rapportraits.substack.com

“This isn’t going to work anymore” Atlanta roasters reconsider how much a cup of coffee should cost

How much should a cup of coffee cost in the age of climate change, supply chain issues, and likely tariffs? I asked Atlanta roasters Portrait Coffee and Tanbrown Coffee for the Cost of Living Project and @canopyatl.bsky.social www.costoflivingatl.org/post/this-is...

Two entertainment profiles I would have loved to see from Atlanta publications: the TV return of people's champ Nicole Paige Brooks, and how Le Castle Vania went from MJQ to John Wick (and now Ballerina)

I'm in the market to hire freelance writers in Atlanta, looking at stories others are ignoring, particularly where business and politics cross paths.

I'm looking to fill the gap, because subscription revenue means I can write where the AJC and the Atlanta Business Chronicle are both compromised.

Looking to speak to someone in Atlanta who's had to change their coffee-buying habits amid recent price increases. Let me know if that's you -- would love to chat for a story!

WABE’s Lois Reitzes Announces June 2025 Retirement from Weekday Radio Hosting The longtime host of CITY LIGHTS and SECOND CUP CONCERT will conclude her 45-year career as one of Atlanta’s signature radio voices this summer.  ATLANTA (March 6, 2025) – WABE […]

Oh wow. Bottom of the Map --- and with that, my career in podcasting --- would never have existed, had City Lights not invited me and Regina on to talk Childish Gambino's "This is America."

Grateful to the OG Lois Reitzes and the 45 years she's been on the air. www.wabe.org/wabes-lois-r...

I also appreciate For Keeps Books for curating books by Black authors who I wouldn't otherwise find

Oh, hey neighbor!

Queenie's consignment in the same shopping center is *fantastic*.

I've been wanting to shop more consignment too, so this is perfect. Thank you!

JB's is great! I also love Ella Guru record shop, up in the North Druid Hills area. They have great pricing and new stuff comes in very regularly.

Oh great, looks like I'll need more vinyl shelving sooner than later. Thank you for this!

Oh, good! I was bummed when Bound to Be Read shut down in the same area

Bookish in East Atlanta is another great independent bookstore!

📌 have enjoyed my radio roasters beans but happy to hear there are other good ones out there! #SoonBeaning also sorry for the quote this doesn't make a lot of sense out of context

Absolutely! I have proudly supported my local groceries and bakeries. There are also plenty of little mom and pop shops that sell everything else I need/don't need. Buy local! Support small business. Let the big boys suffer until they decide to play nicely with us.

Yay! Also, HI!

Oh good, I'm glad you're into it! I didn't know who'd be interested, but selfishly I also want to compare notes with other folks who live here

Apologies if you see me post this thread elsewhere – I'm still trying to figure out where people are at in this post-Twitter world. But I'd love to hear from you about other small businesses I should support, especially in this economy 💸

And finally, the woman who sold me the vintage men's kimono I'm wearing in my professional headshots is in southwest Atlanta: www.adornmetreasures.com

SHOP Swan Space warmly invites you to visit our brick-and-mortar artisanal boutique, where we offer a distinctive, locally curated shopping experience. As an independent local business we are dedicated to ...

Home | JB's Record Lounge

My favorite place to go crate-digging, bar none, is JB's Record Lounge. It's been especially great for all types of jazz, from Ahmad Jamal to Bob James, Ramsey Lewis and Sadao Watanabe. jbsrecordlounge.com
