✦ Since 2010, The Goat Farm has served as home to artists of all types in Atlanta. After a brief period of renovations, it reopened in 2024 and is now bigger and better than ever. You can see it in all of its glory at this year's second annual SITE festival. Sprawling over the whole 12 acres of the Goat Farms property will be exhibitions and installations of all kinds. City Lights Collective producer Josh Thane spoke with the goat farms' design and creative director, Allie Bashuk, about the upcoming SITE festival. ✦ City Lights Collective member and award-winning Atlanta comedian Joel Byars is one of the hardest-working people in the business. He hosts many comedy events around town, and his podcast, "Hot Breath Pod," aims to uplift his fellow comedians. Byars joins us weekly to share his picks for this week's must-see Comedy, and today his mix includes an Atlanta version of "Mom's Unhinged" and two nights of Josh Johnson at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center. ✦ Harriet Tubman was more than just the operator of the Underground Railroad. She also led a Civil War raid that freed more than 700 enslaved people in a single day. That dramatic chapter of the war is the focus of "COMBEE," the Pulitzer Prize–winning book by historian and Emory alum Edda Fields-Black. The author is back in Atlanta on Monday, September 29, at the Georgia Center for the Book. Fields-Black recently spoke with "City Lights Collective" member Alison Law about the Pulitzer Prize and bringing COMBEE's untold stories to life. ✦ And I'm Kim Drobes. It's time now to hear from our artistic community In Their Own Words. This is where they tell us who they are, what they do, what they love, and a few things you might not see coming. What things? Who knows, there's only one way to find out. Today, we shine a light on the band Solid State Radio. ✦ In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, which began on September 15, The Gallery at Abernathy Arts Center presents "Caminos Compartidos."

Guests: Oronike Odeleye and Allie Bashuk A very timely discussion about feminism, using the online realm for organizing, hashtag activism, and local grassroots philanthropy with Oronike Odeleye of the #MuteRKelly campaign & Idea Capital, and Allie Bashuk of many endeavors, including founder of the Dream Warriors Foundation. Host: Shannon M. Turner
The Dream Warriors Foundation is a lot more than your typical women's empowerment group. And they recognize that it takes a heck of a lot more than just money to make the world go round. Co-founders, Allie Bashuk and Haley Carlson, believe that providing accessible financial support to a community of like-minded women, femme-identifying, and non-binary individuals inspires a stronger, more innovative local economy. In particular, they raise money for marginalized individuals. They’re on a mission to raise funds for grant making and spread the word that supporting good inspires change.
