      <title>Maria Taylor</title>
      <description>Before heading to Paris to cover the 2024 Summer Olympics, the tables turned on “The Monica Pearson Show” as master interviewer Maria Taylor takes the hot seat. She answered questions about her life as a former athlete, sports journalist, and mother. 
 
As the lead host of NBC’s Football Night in America, and a correspondent for events like the French Open and the Olympics, Taylor is known for getting exclusive scoop from big names. Taylor divulges her ‘secret sauce’ for interviews and shares who has inspired her career (Monica made the list).

      <title>Chuck Leavell</title>
      <description>When it comes to Atlanta’s most prolific musicians… Chuck Leavell is top of the list. He is known as “the 6th Rolling Stone” because of his decades-long touring gig alongside Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. In this special, extra-long episode, Chuck talks family, music and forestry in this episode of “The Monica Pearson Show.” 
 
He has much to be proud of: adventures with the Allman brothers, Eric Clapton, and George Harrison. He is an inductee of both the Georgia Music Hall of Fame and the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. But his advice to young people? “I don’t have a clue, man.”

      <title>Shanti Das</title>
      <description>Music industry veteran Shanti Das knows the ins and outs of the music industry. She tells Monica what it’s like to work with Atlanta’s biggest names, like Usher, Outkast, TLC and the late Rico Wade. But, her work at major record labels only scratches the surface of her success. Shanti launched Silence the Shame, a nonprofit with the mission of normalizing discussions of mental health within communities of color. She shares how she handled her own mental health crisis and the profound impact Senator Warnock had on her mental health. 
 
Shanti Das is a music mogul, a writer, a philanthropist… and a podcaster herself!

      <title>Kristian Bush</title>
      <description>Monica knows how to make a conversation sing—literally. Kristian Bush sits down with Monica to talk about Grammy-winning country act Sugarland and his own solo projects. They also “drink happy thoughts” together as Monica convinces him to perform. 
 
Throughout their chat, they unpack Kristian’s childhood growing up in Appalachia and his journey to stardom, complete with a hug from Dolly Parton. But as the faces of country music keep changing, Kristian makes one thing clear: he loves it. Bring it on, Beyonce.

      <title>T.I.</title>
      <description>T.I. is certainly guilty of one thing: keeping Monica on her toes. In one of his songs, he claims he’s the “King of Da South,” but T.I is a man of many titles. He’s a rapper, father, director, philanthropist, producer, and entrepreneur. His success didn’t come easy, and T.I. shares the reason he became a drug dealer at age 14 and how those experiences and hard-fought lessons fuel his trap music.
