About

The goal of the Mad About Town podcast is to prove that the internet is the perfect medium for doing audio interview and music shows.  If only someone had thought of doing this on the radio.

This is our team:

Sarah Vakili

I am a sophomore at UGA majoring in Philosophy and Public Relations. My activities include being a member of Alpha Chi Omega, mentoring at Barrow Elementary, and serving as Recruitment Chair of ugaMiracle. I've lead a typical suburban life thus far: never lived outside of the Atlanta area, attended public schools, oldest of three girls, and hung out with my friends all the time. One day I hope to work on campaigns and live in D.C. or New York in a lovely modern home with a giant dog (one as big as me, if not bigger).

My hobbies include wasting away my life on Facebook, TFLN, and Slate, ordering late-night delivery, and trying to figure out something significant to do with my life. I find great pleasure in excellently made turkey-sandwiches, filling in the "other" bubble under Ethnicity on standardized tests, and finishing my to-do lists.

Len Neighbors

I came to Athens in 1991 for college, and never really left.  Now I am a partner in a web development firm in town called Boxkite Media, teach Speech Communication classes at the University of Georgia, and help the Georgia Debate Union integrate new technology into competitive debate.  I like watching movies in the theater, and I am thinking of switching back to vinyl but am a bit afraid of the commitment. 

I'm not a musician or a music critic, so this podcast is my way of participating in the local music scene I have enjoyed for so many years.

About Us

We're a podcast that features musicians from Athens, Georgia.  We interview the musicians.  They bring some of their own music, and records from their collections to play for us.  Then we put it on the internet.
