In 2018, accessAtlanta released 44 episodes that gave listeners a front-row look at the best things to do, see, eat and experience in the city.

Our reporters chatted with Olympic athletes, world-famous entertainers and local entrepreneurs. Members of our team attended former president Jimmy Carter's Sunday school class, Atlanta's star-studded Black Panther premiere and live musical performances that don't allow talking—or texting.

Our team visited a chimp sanctuary, provide food and beer guides, and kept you updated on "Hollywood of the South."

We covered every corner of entertainment in Atlanta.

In this episode, AJC senior editor, Nicole Smith takes a look back to discuss her favorite episodes of the last year—the first year of the accessAtlanta podcast— and what to expect in 2019.
