The Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre in Marietta is holding auditions for A Christmas Tradition on Sept. 8-9, from 6 to 9 p.m. This high-energy Christmas revue, directed by Shane DeLancey, runs Dec. 12-21 and features live music, classic holiday hits, and plenty of sparkle.

Dozens qualify for Cobb’s local elections  Cobb’s municipal elections are heating up as more candidates throw their hats in the ring. By Tuesday, seven new names joined the races, adding to the dozens who qualified Monday. In Marietta, the mayor’s seat and all seven City Council and school board positions are up for grabs. Incumbent Mayor Steve “Thunder” Tumlin is seeking a fifth term, facing challenger Sam Foster. Meanwhile, council races are drawing a mix of familiar faces and fresh contenders, like Kenneth Wright, who’s challenging Ward 5’s Carlyle Kent. Over in Mableton, Cassandra Brown joined the District 4 race, while Austell and Kennesaw saw new challengers emerge for key council seats. STORY 3: Lockheed's C-130J wins "Coolest Thing Made in Georgia" competition  Lockheed Martin’s Marietta-made C-130J Super Hercules just snagged the title of “Coolest Thing Made in Georgia” in the Georgia Chamber of Commerce’s first-ever competition. And honestly? It’s hard to argue with that. Rod McLean, Lockheed’s VP of Air Mobility and Maritime Missions, was thrilled. “This aircraft has been a game-changer for decades,” he said. “To see it recognized like this—it’s incredible.” The C-130J, built by a 5,000-strong team in Marietta, has logged over 3 million flight hours and serves 28 operators worldwide. It even beat out an air taxi in the finals. Not bad for a 70-year-old legend. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

At the same time, Royster’s black Nissan Sentra was traveling south on Mars Hill. They collided in the intersection. The Chevy hit the Nissan’s left side, sending it off the road.

STORY 5: Cobb officials discuss ICE, mental health, crime prevention Immigration, public safety, mental health, and crime—big topics tackled at Tuesday night’s forum hosted by the Cobb County Democratic Committee at Switzer Library. Local law enforcement leaders, including Sheriff Craig Owens and Marietta Police Chief David Beam, fielded tough questions from both moderators and the audience. One hot-button issue? ICE raids. Owens made it clear: “We don’t know when or where they’re happening. They don’t tell us.” Beam echoed that sentiment, adding, “We’re not involved unless there’s an emergency.” Mental health also took center stage, with officials highlighting crisis intervention training and outreach programs aimed at prevention. “It’s about partnership,” Beam said.

We're switching it up a little bit this episode, as the Booker Prize Long List has just been released and it's fun to talk about what they've chosen — plus, the judges this year are really interesting! These are "chosen from 153 submissions, celebrates the best works of long-form fiction by writers of any nationality, written in English and published in the UK and/or Ireland between 1 October 2024 and 30 September 2025." Some of the books we've read, some we've just heard about, some we have no idea about. Play along!  Here's the list as we tackle it: - "Seascraper," by Benjamin Wood, which is not available in the U.S.  - "The Rest of our Lives," by Ben Markovitz, which is not available in the U.S. (though Ben is from the U.S. and used to be a professional basketball player) - "Audition," by Katie Kitamura, which is so out there that Hannah legit doesn't know how to talk about it. No one seems to know what's happening with this book.  - "Endling," by Maria Reva, which we talked about quite a bit in EP92 (not 94, as Sam says on the pod, for no good reason), and is a substantive, interesting, weird novel, but maybe not Sam's favorite.  - "Flashlight," by Susan Choi, a National Book Award winner, which Hannah started out super excited about, but then her fervor sort of faded... There's some great stuff in here about Japan-Korea history and the immigrant story, in general.  - "The Land in Winter," by Andrew Miller, which Hannah hasn't read, but she does remember that "The Optimists" was big and she meant to read it.  - "Love Forms," by Claire Adam, who was published by Sarah Jessica Parker, who also happens to be a judge! But we're sure it's a coincidence. "Like a Claire Keegan novel written by Elizabeth Strout," apparently. - "Universality," by Natasha Brown, which we know is short and is all about words and meaning.  - "Misinterpretation," by Ledia Xhoga, which is similarly about words and meaning. We don't know much, really. But there seems to be a theme here.  - "The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny," by Kiran Desai, who has a Booker Prize under her belt. This book is going to be big.  - "One Boat," by Jonathan Buckley, which is about a murder and a love affair on a Greek island.  - "The South," by Tash Aw, which is this year's young gay love story, Hannah thinks, though she's not sure, but it is the first of a quartet of novels, "a reimagined epic for our times." - "Flesh," by David Szalay, which is a stylish Hungarian novel, a coming-of-age sort of thing.

From playing the oboe in northern Minnesota to casting spells as Ginny Potter on Broadway, Sarah Killough's story is anything but ordinary. In this episode, Sarah chats about her early musical roots, growing up surrounded by theater in a creatively rich family, and the pivotal decision to attend Interlochen as a teenager. She shares how she carved her path through school, summer stock, and eventually New York City—where a survival job as an audition reader turned into a backstage pass to the industry and a surprising pipeline to major roles. Now captivating audiences eight shows a week in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Sarah discusses the emotional weight of the role, the fandom surrounding the show, and what it's like to portray a character as iconic as Ginny. She reflects on being part of casting processes from the other side of the table, the joys and challenges of working in a high-tech, high-stakes production, and what it means when fans tell her she is the “book Ginny.” Full of heart, humor, and a few tales of audition room mishaps, this conversation showcases the magic behind Sarah's grounded presence on stage and off. Sarah Killough is an actor, musician, and dialect coach currently starring as Ginny Potter in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway. Her stage credits include Leopoldstadt, The Lehman Trilogy, Travesties, and Long Day's Journey Into Night. A Minnesota native and graduate of the Hartt School, she also serves as a trusted audition reader for major casting offices in New York.

Katie Kitamura joins Adam Biles to discuss her remarkable novel Audition. Centred on a middle-aged actress whose settled life is upended by a young man claiming to be her son, Audition blurs the lines between performance, identity, and narrative certainty. Kitamura reflects on the novel's dual structure—a “rabbit-duck” ambiguity—and her fascination with roles we perform in relationships, particularly within marriage and family. The conversation explores the mutability of identity, the ethical power of embracing contradiction, and the unique capacity of the novel to hold multiple truths simultaneously. Kitamura also discusses craft, genre, and the challenges of maintaining ambiguity without sacrificing narrative tension. An essential listen for readers drawn to fiction that resists easy answers and revels in complexity.Buy Audition: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/audition-3Katie Kitamura is the author of five novels, including Intimacies, named one of the 10 Best Books of 2021 by the New York Times. It was also one of Barack Obama's favourite books of the year, and was longlisted for a National Book Award and a PEN/Faulkner Award and was a finalist for the Joyce Carol Oates Prize. Kitamura's novel A Separation was a New York Times Notable Book. Her work has been translated into more than twenty languages and is being adapted for film and television.

Better grab something to write with before you hit play on this one. In this extra-long episode, we dive into a variety of horror sub-genres and each pick a title that we think defines that category. Not necessarily the best film, but one that captures the essence of the sub-genre in a meaningful way. To help us take on this ridiculously huge (but fun) challenge, we've brought back Aaron Christensen—aka Dr. AC—to join the conversation. If you're new to the genre, this one's especially for you.  If you've been around a few years (or decades) we think the conversation is still worth your time, and we hope that you consider giving a few of these a revisit.  Time to start that new watchlist!  All set? Notes ready? Coffee or energy drink in hand? Then hit play!
