The second episode in August is the show’s Back to school Special for the 2022-2023 academic school
year. The show is a encouragement to all students, educators and everyone associated with the different
school systems in the listening area who are returning to school for Fall. This includes UGA students who
return to classes the next Wednesday, August 17. In addition to school resumption, the episode shares the
announcement by the Clarke County School Districts of Dr. Robbie Hooker as the sole finalist for the
position of Superintendent, to replace Dr. Xernona Thomas who is retiring this year. The episode provides
