The Atlanta Local Unplugged Podcast is the audio companion to the Atlanta Local Unplugged online magazine—made for culturally curious locals and visitors who want more than the same old lists. Each week, host Riley Bennett spotlights the best of Atlanta’s live music, festivals, neighborhood food finds, gallery nights, maker markets, and wellness pop-ups, with smart curation that helps you plan faster and explore deeper.

Expect quick, useful segments: a curated Weekend Shortlist (can’t-miss picks and why), Hidden Gem (an off-the-radar venue or event), Neighborhood Bite (standout eats, pop-ups, or chef notes), Local Sound (a band/DJ/venue spotlight), and Meet the Maker (bite-size chats with artists, chefs, and organizers shaping the city now). Whether you’re building a date night, a friends’ outing, or a full weekend itinerary, Riley Bennett guides you to the experiences that feel most like Atlanta.

Episodes run 20–30 minutes—refreshingly no-fluff, always local, and packed with voices from the city’s creative community. Plug in on your commute, unplug from the scroll, and discover Atlanta one neighborhood at a time.
