Atlanta's best culture, curated by one of the city’s best storytellers. 🎙️🏛️

For this week’s segment of Beats, Bites, & Sites, Atlanta regional producer and host of Atlanta Bushwick Bookclub Katina Pappas-DeLuca took us on a personal journey through three spaces holding down the soul of the city:

🎵 THE BEAT: Eddie’s Attic — the legendary Decatur listening room where storytelling meets songwriting.
🍔 THE BITE: Talat Market — a masterclass in "Georgia Thai" innovation in Summerhill.
📍 THE SITE: aKAZ! — an incredible diasporic art space bridging Sweet Auburn to contemporary African creators.

Go behind the curtain of Atlanta's creative ecosystem. The full weekly video episode with Katina is streaming right now on YouTube and Spotify Video (Audio on Apple Podcasts).
