Throughout the summer, we are developing a brand new podcast with a new name and a new sound that will launch in late summer. In the meantime, we’ll be revisiting some of our favorite shows from our first four years while still keeping you up-to-date on things to do in and around Atlanta. In 2021, Melissa Ruggieri spoke with Jeff Richmond, one of the creators of the musical comedy “Girls5eva.” There is so much inherent joy in the Peacock series. From the pitch-perfect skewering of ‘90s-era pop groups to the goofy charms of the now-foursome who comprise the group, “Girls5eva” was one of the best new shows of 2021. The glossy sitcom’s second season debuted in May 2022 and “Mean Girls,” the musical based on the movie written by Richmond’s wife Tina Fey and featuring his music, makes its Fox Theatre debut next week on July 19. Find the conversation at ajc.com/podcasts and at the Apple Podcast store.
