#OSTinSAV: Live From Savannah, Day 2
Primary Content
It's the second day of On Second Thought's live show in Savannah for the opening of the annual Savannah Music Festival. A live audience watched the show from Savannah Coffee Roasters as local musicians Kristin King and Jackson Evans performed throughout the hour.
We started the show with a conversation with Grammy-nominated jazz singer René Marie, who's performing at the festival with fellow jazz musician Freddy Cole. Marie's forthcoming album contains all original material, a rare feat in jazz music. It's called "The Sound of Red." She told us about some of the challenges and frustrations jazz artists face of having to conform to a more mainstream sound.
In the next segment, On Second Thought producer Sean Powers introduces us to a Savannah teenager who is overcoming bullying with the help of a service dog. Bonny O'Donnell, 17, attends Savannah High School. She attends classes with her service dog, Carson. Carson is trained to help Bonny cope with post-traumatic stress caused by bullying she faced at her previous school. The school district initially rejected Bonny's request to bring a dog to school, but that changed once Carson was trained as a service dog.
Finally, we have a very special Savannah edition of the Breakroom. The panel assembles to talk about the week’s headlines, including public perception about the city of Macon, the relevance of saying ‘ma’am’ in everyday speech, and the economic cost of Georgia’s religious liberty bill.
The Breakroom gang joins host Celeste Headlee to talk about the week’s headlines.
