In This is Atlanta, PBA30 expands its Telly Award-winning series of mini-documentaries into a full-fledged monthly magazine show. Alicia Steele hosts this fascinating look at the people who make Atlanta an exciting place to live. We’ll explore society, history, and creativity— sometimes all at once! This is Atlanta visits one-of-a-kind locations in the metro area, dives in to some unusual hobbies, and brings you performances by some of the city’s most compelling artists.
