The Christmas season over, we thought it'd be fitting to take a retrospective look at toys so that we may have perspective about personal enjoyment and community development as we enter the New Year. It's important to hear Toy Stories as narratives not glamorizing collective gluttony, but introspectively about their importance in the cultural food chain. But, we promise, we won't get too serious. Toys are fun after all, and for us they are the topic of this month's show, the passion of our guests. We hear from Chris Burn who is the editor of Time To Play magazine, director of Atlanta's Toys for Tots program and Chief Warren officer A.T Wilson and Maxine, a 10 year old!
When we think about Thanksgiving we reflect and give thanks for friends, family, football, turkey, and on November 28th, 50 million of us nationwide will tune in our appreciation for the always-spectacular Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. For the past 86 years the parade has thrilled and entertained us, becoming as traditional as sweet potatoes, cranberry, and pecan pie.
Skateboarding was at one time relegated to misguided perception and city streets. Participants were counter-culture kids considered misfits constantly on the run from authority. Well, those misfits are grown up, and they're still running. However, now they're running businesses, charitable foundations and the town. This month we recognize and explore the personal expression and cultural development that skateboarding so righteously offers both fans and communities.
Over the past 3 years, weve interviewed over 150 colorful guests representing the very best in a cultural continuum thats shaping the world around us. Weve sat down with artists, urban planners, educators, administrators, architects, preservationists, and peregrine falcon keepers. Weve chatted with chefs, farmers, directors, designers, leaders, luminaries, and in one case a guy who carved a tree in to an owl. Its been a journey of great learning, and were so glad youve joined us for the ride.
In 1917, an enormous fire ravaged 75 blocks of Atlanta, leaving 1 mile of destruction in its wake. To replant the seeds of commerce, the city of Atlanta created an open-air market (1918 – 1923) in what is now the Sweet Auburn Historic District. The gathering became so popular, a permanent structure was demanded and the Womens Club of Atlanta raised money to help make it happen. The Municipal Market of Atlanta, as its officially titled, opened its doors in 1924, selling produce, meats, and products to consumers of the day. The market was in many ways egalitarian, meant for people of all classes and color, but not everyone was allowed inside. The African American shoppers had to buy their goods from carts on the curb, prompting a nickname that still stands nearly 90 years later; today we affectionately call it “The Curb Market."
This month we sit down with three unique guests to talk about the gravity and gravitas of the world’s largest piece of exposed granite, Stone Mountain. A memorial to the Confederacy, this several trillion-ton landmark stands as a complex example of both physical and cultural geography, of civil and natural significance. Our guests today are: (1) PAUL HUDSON, a professor of history and author of "Atlantas Stone Mountain: A Multicultural History" (2) cultural geographer, JOHN ALLENSWORTH, and (3) JAY DAVIS, an expert birdwatcher and board member of the Atlanta Audubon Society.
Barbecue fans, this show's for you. This month we take a spicy, sweet, saucy, smokin' good look at the history, art, science, position and passion for barbecue in our Southern society and beyond. Our guests today are: (1) ANNE QUATRANO, James Beard Award-Winning Chef of Bacchanalia (2) BOB TOWNSEND, food writer and columnist of "Beer Town" (3) JIM AUCHMUTEY journalist and author of the upcoming illustrated history of barbecue.
