  • The Ways of Waffle House
    The Bitter Southerner Podcast: The Ways of Waffle House Chuck Reece: 00:04 It's the Bitter Southerner podcast from Georgia Public Broadcasting, and the magazine I edit, the Bitter Southerner. Welcome to Episode Five of our second season. I'm Chuck Reece, and today we take you to a place that is familiar to every Southerner. The Waffle House. 00:21 (singing) Chuck Reece: 00:35 Yeah, we even sing about The Waffle House. (singing) And every Southerner has their Waffle House memories. Many are from late nights, and they might be blurry in the brain, because Waffle House is, after all, a place where the night owls go before they crawl in bed and hide from the sun. 01:14 (singing) Chuck Reece: 01:34 Many other of our Waffle House memories are from childhood, because every Southern kid will be taken to a Waffle House at some point. It took about five seconds for us to see this phenomenon one more time, on the day we walked into Waffle House store number 1000 in Avondale Estates, Georgia, with a bag full of microphones. Samantha Naik: 01:54 You want to answer some questions about The Waffle House? Chuck Reece: 01:56 This is Samantha Naik, and her daughter, Annika. Samantha Naik: 01:59 Well, she's only four, so she's been coming for four years, and I've been coming for as long as I have memories. Chuck Reece: 02:07 Sam lives around the corner from the very first Waffle House. It's now a museum and it's just down the block from the store that we're in today.

This dedication to the community is still witnessed today, and perhaps is most evident in the company’s philosophy toward hurricane response. In this case study, we detail the company philosophy and describe their preparation for hurricane season, their response process, and the lessons they have learned to improve the process through the years.

  • Southern Company Town Hall Webcast – Thursday, April 16, 2020 Rough Transcript
    Southern Company Town Hall Webcast – Thursday, April 16, 2020 Rough Transcript Operator: Welcome to the Southern Company town hall webcast on April 16th, 2020. Throughout today's recorded presentation, all participants will be in a listen only mode. After the presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. If you would like to ask a question via the web interface, simply type your question in the ask a question box and click send. If any participant has difficulty hearing the presentation, please submit your question via the same tool. I will now hand the presentation over to Tom Fanning, chairman, president, and CEO of Southern Company. Please go ahead, sir. Tom Fanning: Welcome, everybody, to this virtual town hall. I think in times like this, I love that phrase, communicate relentlessly. I don't think there's more we can do than keeping each other informed. And I think through the thought leadership of folks like Chris Womack and others, we decided this format may prove to be beneficial to us all. And to those of you who have not been on a call like this, this is going to feel like something we do about every two weeks. In fact, during the coronavirus, we've been doing it for a while every day, and then maybe three times a week. Now we're doing it about twice a week. This will feel like a Southern Company Management Council call with a little bit of an expanded universe. I know we have people all over the system listening, so let me just fill you in, roughly, on who's on the Southern Company Management Council.

Behind him was a dizzying array of earth-moving equipment, and he and two Coosa High classmates, Eric Vargas and Israel Domingo, had !sat in the driver’s seat and operated each one. “I’m speechless,” said a wide-eyed Tapia, an 11th-grader who was attending his first CEFGA CareerExpo and SkillsUSA State Championships. “I thought it would be something where you could look at a lot of things, but there are a lot of opportunities where you can actually work the equipment and really have a hands-on experience.
