Show Notes

Georgia’s allergy season officially stretches from early spring to late fall. However, according to Atlanta Allergy & Asthma's Pollen counter, pollen has started to spike as early as February this year. Emory School of Medicine Assistant Professor Pedro Lamothe discusses the severity of pollen season, the health risks and what Georgians can do to guard themselves for the rest of the season.

 

Plus, we air WABE education reporter Juma Sei’s feature from the “Young Business” series. The story spotlights how a young entrepreneur's passion for music led him to create a pop-up record shop.

 

Lastly, on the morning of what will be the very last Face/Off at the current MJQ Concourse location, Rose talks with DJs Rasta Root and Jah Prince.
