In this episode, Rikki interviews Jason Thrasher, who has an upcoming book about the Athens music scene: Athens Potluck. 

Currently the subject of a fundraiser on Indiegogo, "ATHENS POTLUCK is a 'stream of consciousness' journey through the wildly diverse music scene of Athens, Georgia. Photographer Jason Thrasher chose the first of 33 musicians to be photographed at home, with each subsequent artist choosing the next, creating a rare glimpse into the interconnected and often private lives of Athens musicians."

Visit the Indiegogo page for more information about Athens Potluck.
