In the first episode of this 6-part series, Aleck and Broderick introduce themselves and their hometown of Athens, Georgia. Growing up they could see that segregation didn't simply disappear after the 1960s civil rights movement. So, they ask a question that a lot of people ask about the places where they live: why is our town so "boxed" up? In Athens, the history of Hot Corner promises some answers.

Episode 2: Back in the Day

The 6-part audio documentary, Hot Corner, is a story of what one block in Georgia shows about the dividing lines in our lives, and what Black communities have built in the spaces between. It is also a contribution to ongoing efforts to document and share the history of Hot Corner, the famed Black business district in downtown Athens, Georgia. The project was created by Alexander Stephens and Broderick Flanigan, in partnership with Enlighten Media Productions and in consultation with the Hot Corner Association.
