Coulda been five
Really enjoyable listen, but the host’s slang attempts made me cringe every single time.
EVERY.
Awesome!!
Being an Atlanta native, I thoroughly enjoyed this perspective and it’s cool that he’s not from Atlanta so he could learn from a pure slate. Yes, corny, but I absolutely LOVED listening. I’m sad it’s only 1 season. 😱💔
5/5
Listened for a Morehouse college project, enjoyed the corny aspect makes me laugh especially with the author embracing the fact that he is a black yankee from Michigan and him aiming to truly understand and get to know the culture he wasn’t able to be exposed to. Touched on many enjoyable topics from the history culture of atlanta, auc, and the many inspirational events for black culture that occurred.
