What's Good is Georgia Tech (feat. Joe Alterman, Jessica Luza, Osahon Tongo, and Buzz)

Mark and David are live from Georgia Tech in the heart of Atlanta! Two Tech alums join the show to drop all kinds of knowledge: actress Jessica Luza and director-producer-writer Osahon Tongo reflect on their careers in the film and television industry, as well as their time at Tech. Joe Alterman and the Joe Alterman Trio sit in for the evening, setting up our new favorite segment "Rough Headlines, Smooth Jazz." Special Homecoming Correspondent Buzz gives their thoughts on Tech traditions in a can't-miss audio interview. And of course, we catch up on news: Tech's undefeated season; Coach Brent Key's super-spooky house, a Tech student winning the GeoGuessr World Cup, and local impacts of the federal government shutdown.

Special thanks to our performers at the live show, Lace Larrabee and Adán Bean. As well as to GT Arts and the Ferst Center. And to everyone who came out to the show! And you, too (why not?)! See photos and read more about the evening here.

Our next live show will be our Season Finale at Dad's Garage on Tuesday, December 2nd. Check the details and grab your tickets now!
