We are talking with Atlanta architect and housing technology expert Patrick Chopson about what the 21st…
Many of us spend our lives caring for others. We care for our children, our spouses, our parents, our friends and neighbors. But what happens when the person you've always depended on begins depending on you? More than 100 million Americans now find themselves serving as caregivers for a loved one, many because of Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia. It is a labor of love but it can…

Jackson joins us to discuss her newest middle-grade mystery, Ghost in the Night, a thrilling adventure set in historic Savannah that…
It's hard to believe, but the first day of school is just around the corner.

Artificial intelligence is changing almost every aspect of our lives - everything from how we work and learn to how businesses make decisions and even how we communicate. Some people are excited. Others are nervous. But one thing seems certain: AI isn't coming. It's already here. Today we're talking about what that means for all of us and how organizations and individual can thrive in what some…
As America grows older, a new report suggests our biggest challenge may not simply be adding years to life — but adding life to those years. The 2026 America’s Health Rankings Senior Report paints a complicated picture for older adults nationally and here in Georgia: encouraging gains in preventive care and access in some areas, but troubling increases in behavioral health concerns, social…
As America marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, there’s celebration, reflection, and for many people, some difficult questions. Who gets included in the American story? Have we lived up to the promises written into our founding documents? And is patriotism something to reclaim, redefine or reject? My guest today says the American Revolution isn’t just history ...…
We have two very special conversations to share. First, as we move toward Independence Day and America’s 250th birthday celebration, we’re revisiting one of the most quoted—and perhaps least understood—documents in our nation’s history. You know the words: “We hold these truths to be self-evident…” But what did the authors of the Declaration of Independence actually mean? What promises did the…
