Comedian Judah Friedlander is probably best known for his role as Frank Rossitano on NBC’s 30 Rock, but his new stand-up series Judah Friedlander: Future President takes a satirical look at America and its complicated place on the world stage. He performed in Atlanta a few weeks ago and joins On Second Thought to share his approach to stand-up.

On Second Thought for Friday, Dec. 6, 2019.

Authors Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera’s young adult novel, What If It’s Us, tells the story of two teen boys who fall in love over a summer in New York City. It’s a book full of meet-cutes and missed connections, much like Albertalli and Silvera’s own relationship. The authors join On Second Thought to talk about their novel and also share their recommendations for OST’s Southern Reading List.

Hear from travel writer Demetria Lucas about the enriching and challenging experiences of traveling abroad as a black woman.

It’s that time of year! The classic tunes from the beloved 1965 animated special, A Charlie Brown Christmas, comes to life when performed by a trio of musicians – Jeffrey Butzer on drums, T.T. Mahony on keys, and Mike Beshera on bass. Mahony and Butzer joined On Second Thought to talk about their performances across Atlanta this month.
