The episode we had planned was appropriately titled "Spirits Among Us." We didn't know then that one of our featured storytellers from our Grand Opera House season and a dear friend to all of Macon, Steven Fulbright, would end up leaving us far before his time last summer. We dedicate this episode and the refresh of our podcast series for its second season for Steven, on the day a memorial performance (a fitting one - a Broadway-style cabaret) takes place in the midst of Macon's Cherry Blossom Festival and a new spring for our city. We share memories from friends from different parts of his life before hearing his story, heard boisterously from The Grand Opera House stage. There is no spotlight that shined brighter than Steven, whose memory continues to be a blessing.

The Heartbeat of Georgia is hosted by Koryn Young and Julia Rubens and episodes are produced by Storytellers Macon based off of the limited stage series in partnership with The Grand Opera House.
