On today’s “Closer Look with Rose Scott,” the Public Religion Research Institute is going beyond the protests and rhetoric to understand just how deep America’s political divides are. We discussed their 16th annual American Values Survey with PRRI CEO Melissa Deckman.

 

Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, Private Practice, Bridgerton, and the list doesn’t stop there. The creator behind each of those beloved programs is Shonda Rhimes. The executive producer and screenwriter is celebrated within her industry and by fans as someone who creates moving, thrilling, and heartfelt stories where everyone feels represented. While on her “Year of Yes” 10th Anniversary book tour in Atlanta, Rhimes spoke to Scott about what keeps her inspired, her outlook on AI, and the future of entertainment. 


Some of music’s most legendary artists, including some local icons, will hit the stage at Piedmont Park this weekend for the ONE Musicfest. The lineup for the music festival includes Future, Dungeon Family, The Roots, Ludacris, Mary J. Blige, Busta Rhymes, Doechii & more. Ahead of a weekend of exciting performances, “Closer Look” took a tour of the outdoor event as it was being set up and learned more about what the 30,000 attendees can expect. One Musicfest Director Josh Antenucci led the tour.
