OST Full Show: Pitbulls, White Supremacy, Playist Refresh, Choloteca

Pitbulls: they’re the dog that “America loves to hate,” and Jason
Flatt is devoted to saving them. We learn how tragedy and
depression transformed Flatt, and how a puppy saved his life. Now,
he spends his time saving the most neglected — and least wanted —
dogs that come across his foundation, Friends to the Forlorn. Three
north Georgia men were arrested last week in connection to a white
supremacist group called "The Base." We’ll unpack the details of
the arrests and how extremism has grown in Georgia as well as in
the nation. Are your music playlists still cycling through last
year’s hits? We asked Atlanta’s Paste Magazine to help keep us up
to date with fresh tunes. We hear about both highly anticipated and
under-the-radar record releases to expect in early 2020. Since late
2016, a group of young Latinx people have been throwing a monthly
dance party. It’s called La Choloteca, an effort to reclaim a slur
used against people of indigenous origin. It bills itself as “a
party with a mission”: to create a safe and inclusive space for all
identities and anyone who wants to jam out to Latin tracks.
Producer Pria Mahadevan went to a “Choloteca” and brought back this
audio postcard.
