Customer Reviews
I never knew, but I'm glad I know now...
So I help contribute to NPR as a whole, but always felt like I wanted to know about my local news here in Atlanta/Georgia....
This provides and gives so much more with the same passion of NPR offering both sides of the information, but with the charm that only these hosts can provide... I'll keep sharing
High recommend for ATL residents
A quick and informative podcast that keeps me up to date on local news
