Savannah Stopover on Georgia Public Broadcasting — lots of audio

Savannah Stopover got some excellent coverage this year from Georgia Public Broadcasting, especially the hour-long weekday talk show On Second Thought, hosted by Celeste Headlee.

Headlee and her team even came to Savannah so OST could broadcast live from the festival, with support from the folks at GPB Savannah. Now that Stopover is over, I finally had the chance to catch up on all the coverage (or much of it, sorry if I left something out). While I listened, I copied and pasted the Soundcloud embed codes, so below are segments from On Second Thought plus Sarah McCammon’s GPB Savannah coverage and one podcast too.
