Day in the Life of Atlanta

On 12/12/12, WABE’s Atlanta Sounds declared an ambitious goal: We wanted to capture, in sound, a day in the life of Atlanta, with the help of submissions from you, our listeners.  

You responded—with scores of recordings.  

The two segments here represent two parts of December 12.   The first part begins at midnight. Part two begins with the sounds of a delivery room.   You can also hear some of the individual recordings on WABE’s SoundCloud page.Day in the Life of Atlanta on 12/12/12 – Part 1Day in the Life of Atlanta on 12/12/12 – Part 2

Thanks so much to everyone who sent in recordings.   Thanks also to our producers Aleck Ragsdale, Jenny Ament, Eric Durban, Scott Casavant, Kate Sweeney, Myke Johns and our editor, David Barasoain.
