Step into the heart of local comedy with a live podcast taping of What's Good, Atlanta? (WABE) with local icons Mark Kendall and David Perdue. This special event is dedicated to the art of bringing a sense of place to comedy, capturing the authentic spirit and unique character of communities through laughter. This will be an unforgettable evening where our hosts will explore how humor can reflect, celebrate and honor the essence of different places, with a special spotlight on the vibrant culture of Atlanta.
The taping will be followed by a candid conversation and Q&A surrounding the importance of being rooted in a sense of place, maintaining strong perspectives and having an authentic identity in all types of media – whether that be a podcast, a documentary or a YouTube channel – and how to sustain that even if your ambition is to grow bigger.
