October 09, 2020 Women's Suffrage
With Election Day under a month away, and the recent 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, there is no better time to discover the history of women's suffrage in Atlanta. Things went a little differently down South, and Georgia women did not vote until 1922, two years after the constitutional amendment. We'll talk about why, and the groups that fought for the women's vote and those that fought against it.

The Candler name is all across Atlanta, even when not expressly spelled out, there are many places with Candler connections you may have never realized.

This week, we’re talking about all the remaining Candler homes in Atlanta, their origin stories, dramatic tales and how you can see them.

August 21, 2020 Bonus Mini: 1897 Fulton Bag Strike
This week I pulled an episode that my Patreon supporters heard back in July. The 1897 Fulton Bag and Cotton Mill strike is all about the racial division between the working poor of early Atlanta. Instead of banding together, to strengthen their union and fight for higher wages, the white poor of Cabbagetown would rather strike than be pegged as equal to Black factory workers.

August 14, 2020 Epidemics - Part II
If you go back far enough, Atlanta has dealt with an issue. It's fascinating to see how people living a century ago handled the same worries and fears, but reading about historical mistakes and missteps that are also happening today, at the very least, gives me comfort. This week, we’re covering two more epidemics that affected Atlanta - diphtheria and the Spanish Flu.
