Donor of the Month
General Perry Smith
General Perry Smith is a former military analyst for CNN and adjunct professor teaching Executive Leadership and Strategic Planning for several colleges in Georgia, including Emory University and Augusta University. He is a frequent op-ed contributor to the Augusta Chronicle.
Do you remember when you first donated to GPB and why?
I first donated to GPB in 1990. We had just moved to Augusta. I was watching all the time, so I thought now that I’m here in Georgia I need to contribute. My move to Augusta is what triggered my first donation.
How has GPB’s programming improved your life?
It’s helped me in many ways. I do a lot of teaching at the university level as well as lecturing with civic groups like the Kiwanis and Rotary and small group discussions at churches. I teach across a broad spectrum of folks. I have to know what’s going on in the world (and locally) especially for answering people’s questions. GPB is my best source for information.
What drew you to GPB?
My interest in GPB began with television and national news coverage. In 1991 during Desert Storm, I was a commentator for CNN but I got a lot of my information from GPB and PBS.
How do you use/engage or enjoy GPB content?
I’ve been featured on PBS News Hour. I particularly enjoy watching interesting interviews on PBS News Hour and finding out who the experts are.
Why is GPB important to life in Georgia and/or to your community?
All citizens need to understand what’s going on domestically, internationally as well as at the state and local level. Having an informed citizenry is incredibly important for making decisions and voting. GPB does the best job for unbiased information. My wife Connor and I would like to encourage everyone to follow our lead and double their contribution to GPB.
A Word from President & CEO
Bert Wesley Huffman
Dear Friend,
As I write this, we are only days past the July 4 holiday, a time when we celebrate the birth of our nation and the American ideals of service, unity and appreciation of our history. I had many friends and family members reach out to me over the holiday and share how thankful they were for GPB’s coverage of the Fourth festivities in our nation’s capital. I’m always so thankful when people see the value of public media in offering a true reflection of the very people we serve.
But that thankfulness and joy is tempered a bit since we are only days away from the July 18 deadline for the Senate to act on a rescission package request to Congress to take back $1.1 billion previously approved for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) for FY 2026 and FY 2027. By the time you’re reading this letter, we will know the results of the rescission process. Regardless of the outcome, I assure you GPB will remain steadfast in our mission of service and our vision to Unite and Uplift Georgia.
We, along with public media stations across the country, have worked tirelessly over the last several months to retain this vital funding that constitutes about 12% of GPB’s overall budget. We’ve reached out to decisionmakers, community and business leaders and called upon you, our steadfast donors, to voice your support for public media’s value and what its loss would mean to the American people.
While it’s been a challenging time, my GPB colleagues and I have been honored to take part in the unprecedented grassroots national effort to save and sustain public media’s federal funding. Each vocalization that we’ve heard about GPB’s personal meaning to our audiences has strengthened our resolve to serve Georgians from all walks of life.
With each issue of NEXT, we’re proud to showcase our local journalism and storytelling efforts, educational programming and all the ways we’re looking out for our communities through public safety initiatives and beyond. That’s because GPB is more than a media company. It’s a part of the fabric of Georgia, keeping children safe and educated, keeping families safe and informed and reminding us all that there is great value in programming that uplifts us. We’re excited to continue that service with an even stronger resolve.
Warmly,
Bert Wesley Huffman

Welcome Back to Marlow:
A New Season of Sleuthing in MASTERPIECE’s Coziest Crime Drama
Season 2 of The Marlow Murder Club premieres
Sunday, August 24 at 9 PM
By Rachel Buchman
The fall season is almost here, and with it comes another roster of British dramas on Sunday nights. While some are new (see future issues of NEXT for more on that), the season kicks off with several returning favorites, including the MASTERPIECE hit of 2024, The Marlow Murder Club. Adapted from Robert Thorogood’s novels (you may recognize him as the author behind the popular series Death in Paradise, also adapted for television), we pick up in Season 2 with Judith (Samantha Bond), Suzie (Jo Martin), Becks (Cara Horgan), and their contact-turned-friend at the police station, Tanika (Natalie Dew), for three new cases, including an adaptation the second book, Death Comes to Marlow, uncovered over the course of six episodes.
However, we cannot forget about the fifth main character of the cast: Marlow itself. Thorogood is deliberate with his setting choices when writing The Marlow Murder Club, with various locations in the real-life Marlow appearing both on the page and the show. It not only gives the series an element of authenticity, it inspires viewers, myself included, to want to visit the small town on the Thames where welcoming boutiques and cozy cafes reign supreme, the river is alive with fishing, swimming, and rowing, and the community is close-knit. From services at All Saints Church to the annual Marlow Town Regatta, friends and neighbors take time to reconnect, share gossip, and in the context of The Marlow Murder Club, investigate murders.
Judith Potts stars as Samantha Bond.
While the murders are best kept to fiction, the rest of Marlow’s charm is undeniable. For an inside look, I turned to my friend Jonathan Sweatman: while he has spent four decades living in the USA and now calls Atlanta home, he was born and raised in the UK, spending much of his adolescence in Marlow. Over cups of English Breakfast tea, he was pleased to share memories of Marlow and his recommendations on getting the most out of your own visit.
“[The film production] put a lot of energy and effort into the establishing shots of the iconic architecture of Marlow,” Sweatman was quick to share when I asked what resonated with him the most when watching Season 1. “The bridge in particular, and All Saints Church right there by the bridge.” The High Street and the background shots featuring swans were also attention-grabbing, and accurate to the Marlow he grew up in and now visits whenever he can with his family. The swans, he mentioned, are maintained by a group that works for the British Crown called Swan Uppers. “Every year, they start at one end of the Thames and they essentially row wearing traditional uniforms, capturing every young swan in order to put a ring around its foot in order to monitor population growth and health.”

Sweatman’s parents chose to move their family to Marlow in 1967 after previously living in Birmingham and Kent. “That part of the country had a completely different education system. But I’m really enormously proud to be from there. It was an idyllic little town,” Sweatman emphasized: there’s a fondness in his expressions as he recalled his memories of Marlow. “Kind of the way it is portrayed in The Marlow Murder Club. But it was very insular, very monochromatic.” It wasn’t until Sweatman had nearly graduated from the British equivalent of high school that out of 550 boys, his school admitted their first pupil of color.
“I’m really enormously proud to be from there. It was an idyllic little town.”
-Jonathan Sweatman
Still, some things about Marlow stay the same: the buildings, for one. “The buildings themselves you cannot touch,” Sweatman shared as he illuminated upon some of the changes of Marlow: cities like Marlow, like many across Great Britain with any history in them at all, are subject to very strong architectural protection rules. While the retail businesses change, the buildings themselves are protected. “There was a store on the High Street that was a butcher shop since the 17th Century and remained that way, passed down through the same family, right up until Mad Cow Disease, and then it became a jewelry store. But the buildings themselves must remain the same.”
Another tradition that remains the same and is featured multiple times on The Marlow Murder Club is the propensity to enjoy the Thames: from Judith’s swimming to rowing and sailing, Sweatman was eager to confirm for me that rowing especially was, and still is, a popular pastime for Marlow residents and visitors alike, thanks to a Marlow celebrity who put the town on the map before Robert Thorogood: Sir Stephen Redgrave. “Rowing was huge in Marlow when I was there because of Sir Stephen Redgrave. Sir Stephen Redgrave rode at Marlow. He won the gold medal in five consecutive Olympics.”

made in Marlow are formed to last. When Sweatman’s father passed away, a former Mayor of Marlow and previously a part of the Marlow Town Council, he reached out to the Town Council for help in honoring his memory, resulting in a ceremonial procession through the High Street with as many current and former mayors and council members walking behind the hearse as they could fit. The mayor at the time? An old school friend of Sweatman’s.
The Mayor of Marlow also factors into The Marlow Murder Club, though presumably not until Season 3 which will likely cover the third book in Thorogood’s series, Queen of Poisons. In the story, the fictional Mayor of Marlow is an important character, and I couldn’t resist asking Sweatman his opinion about what the series should include in order to really bring the role to life. “To try to bring some development to the town without changing the character,” He answered decisively. “It’s not uncommon to see a celebrity walking up and down the High Street in Marlow. When celebrities make their millions and move out to the country to buy the farm, there’s a lot of that around. There is a strong effort to preserve the old look and feel, so my father would work on plans during his time in the town council and as mayor not to change the road systems and frontages of the buildings.”
I wondered if he’d visited any towns in Georgia that reminded him of Marlow, and for a moment that seemed to have stumped him. But finally, he gave me his recommendation for where Georgians can get a similar feel to Marlow at home. “I would say the closest would be somewhere like Savannah because of its history and the layouts of the streets and river. And of course, the preservation efforts.”

GPB‘s Education and News Teams Provide Important Lessons for the Student Voices Collective Initiative 2025-2026 School Year
Students Will Study the Difference Between Journalism and Opinion Pieces
By Mandy Wilson
In mid-June, GPB kicked off Student Voices Collective for the 2025-2026 school year with an immersive one-day, in-person workshop at our Atlanta headquarters.
Led by Tracey Wiley, GPB’s director of education outreach, the Student Voices Collective project is a joint effort involving members of the education and news departments, including Kristi York Wooten, director of digital news.
Wooten, who works with GPB’s radio and digital news teams as an editor, writer and producer, is a veteran journalist whose work has appeared in The New York Times, The Economist, The Atlantic, Newsweek, Rolling Stone and others.
“As part of GPB’s goal to work inter-departmentally, I think Student Voices Collective is a great example because we really did have to jump in together,” said Wooten.
First launched for the 2024-2025 school year, the goal of Student Voices Collective is to help educators and students develop expertise in narrative construction, journalistic ethics and media production while gaining a better understanding of the complex media landscape and civic responsibility.
This year, nineteen participants representing student journalists from 16 school districts, one private school and two universities attended the kick-off workshop, which included a comprehensive training covering mobile journalism, podcasting, on-site recording and editing among the topics.
The workshop, Wooten adds, was an opportunity to “flip the script” and serve as a teacher to the educators in attendance. One of the most important considerations for educators instructing students who are used to documenting nearly their every thought and move through social media is the difference between opinion and journalism.
“We want to give students the opportunity to learn journalism skills versus just being able to share their opinions on video,” said Wooten. “We’re still letting them do that with some parameters, but that’s not journalism. That’s opinion. A lot of adults don’t know the difference. “
“We want to give students the opportunity to learn journalism skills versus just being able to share their opinions on video.”
-GPB Director of Digital News, Kristi York Wooten
As part of the project, GPB is providing instructional materials that will help the students develop stories.
“We’re requiring a written story with everything, and I think that’s the only way we can show students what we do at GPB,” explained Wooten. “We want to make sure that if we can help students in any way, they know how to write a story, how to fact check the story and how to make sure they haven’t gotten material that they didn’t source themselves. Once they go through that process, it’s full of learning experience.”
During the 2025-2026 school year, student journalist projects completed through the Student Voices Collective will be showcased at gpb.org/education/student-voices

Robbery, Inc. Podcast Digs Into the 1974 Robbery of the Cobb Exchange Bank in Marietta, Georgia
By Mandy Wilson
Aglance at the mugshot of Morris Lynn Johnson accompanying his listing on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives List in 1976 physically reminds me of Peter Fonda’s character Wyatt in the 1969 classic Easy Rider. But as I would soon learn, Johnson’s real-life criminal escapades could easily rival the character’s.
His involvement in the 1974 robbery of the Cobb Exchange Bank in Marietta, Georgia, carried out by tunneling up to the bank vault and blowing it up, is the subject of the new 8-part podcast Robbery, Inc. produced by GPB in conjunction with the Marietta Daily Journal.
Johnson’s mugshot.
Written and hosted by Marietta native Madison Elizabeth Hogan, Robbery, Inc. is aptly titled given Johnson’s status as a career criminal.
“We both really want to represent local stories,”
- Madison Elizabeth Hogan
“He would steal to the point that he would get out after posting bond and go rob another bank so that he could pay his lawyers,” said Hogan, who was working as the lifestyle editor for the Marietta Daily Journal and the editor of Cobb Life Magazine, when she learned the story from her editor, J.K. Murphy.
However, they were not aware that it was Johnson who had masterminded the crime.
“We went into it thinking this crime was unsolved with the hopes we could help solve it,” said Hogan.

Johnson and his accomplices had rented space in the lower level of the building that now houses the Mystic Owl Tattoo, across Roswell Street from the bank under the guise of opening a salon.
“Once I’m interested in something, and there’s something to solve, I love the digging and researching part of the story,” said Hogan. And there was certainly a lot of digging on Johnson’s end as well she found, as she read about the stacked boxes of dirt occupying what was supposed to be the salon space.
Many people thought of the whole thing as a joke because it was first reported that the criminals only got away with about $1,000, but as it is later revealed the robbers were also able to profit from the contents of the safety deposit boxes inside the bank vault as well.
“We both really want to represent local stories,” said Hogan of the partnership between the Marietta Daily Journal and GPB to bring listeners the fascinating details behind the caper. “There’s always national pieces that captivate your attention, but I think what connects people to hearing these stories is these places that they’re frequently seen.”

GPB Partners with GSU to Support Aspiring Filmmakers
By Brooklyn Lynch
At GPB, collaboration and community are at the heart of what we do. Earlier this year, GPB partnered with Georgia State University (GSU) on a new initiative designed to support and uplift the next generation of filmmakers. Through this collaboration, GPB production staff provided professional critiques of student films, offering intuitive and constructive feedback that bridged the gap between classroom instruction and real-world media standards.
Students were selected to showcase their films at a Student Film Festival. GPB staff got together to evaluate each piece based on a set of criteria. As GSU professor Matt Rasnick explained, the goal was for “students to have an opportunity to showcase their work and gauge audience response.” This hands-on approach aligns closely with GPB’s vision to unite and uplift Georgia and produce and distribute high-quality content that is educational, informative and enriching to communities across Georgia.
“I certainly hope they learn from our notes and continue to develop their own creative vision and career path,” shared GPB Videographer/Editor Will Nunnally.
For 65 years, GPB has been committed to mentoring young minds and investing in emerging talent.“It was wonderful to receive feedback from the professionals at GPB,” said GSU student Ranjith Mohan. “Being part of such a professional team was truly an honor.”
With plans to return next year, the partnership with GSU is not only about film: it’s about growth, mentorship and building the future of storytelling in Georgia.
