Good Day Atlanta viewer information: April 17, 2024

Atlanta - Here are today's featured guests and segments on Good Day Atlanta:

Paul previews "Sasquatch Sunset": There have been many movies about Bigfoot over the years — but we can definitively say that none of them have been like Sasquatch Sunset. The new off-beat comedy — very off-beat — is the latest project from directors David and Nathan Zellner, and traces a year in the life of a group of Sasquatches. Stars Riley Keough, Jesse Eisenburg, Christophe Zajak-Denek, and Nathan Zellner wore full Bigfoot costumes and makeup to portray the forest-dwellers, and spent plenty of rehearsal time channeling their inner-beasts.
 

Canton’s Nuevos Amigos Cocina Mexicana will host a Spring Festival this Saturday:  Restaurant owners Greg and Diane Hammond say they will give customers a chance to enjoy food, drinks, live music, and some special giveaways! If you’re a longtime Good Day Atlanta viewer, you’ll remember our previous visits to Nuevos Amigos, which opened in early 2019 and exploded in popularity during the pandemic due to its abundant outdoor space and gorgeous mountain views.

Podcast Second Act Stories: It’s an independent podcast that profiles people who have made major life and career changes and are pursuing a more rewarding life in a second act career. This is not a full-time job, and it costs us money to produce. Our guests have included Michael Strahan, Brian Quinn from Impractical Jokers, and fellow Atlantans Rick Beato and Stephanie Stuckey, among many others. We find ourselves in a shocking situation. Among thousands and thousands of entries, we’ve been nominated for a Webby Award, the single most prestigious award a podcast can win. And we’re the only independent podcast to have earned a nomination in the Advice and How-to category. Our competition is Michelle Obama’s podcast, Sarah Silverman’s podcast, and shows produced by industry titans TED Audio and Slate.

4 Tips For Managing/Reducing Stress

1. Exercise- Can help release your body’s natural mood and energy booster serotonin. Things like dancing, taking a walk or jogging for 20-30 minutes can be very helpful.
2. Meditation- Can give you a sense of calm, peace, balance, and inner peace. The great thing is it doesn’t have to be long, just a couple of minutes and it can be done no matter where you are. Things like yoga, guided or imagery mediation, mantra meditation and mindfulness mediation.
3. Unplug- Turn off the tv, radio and put down your phone and turn off your computer. All the information from these devices can become overwhelming. Take some time each today to unplug from what’s going on in the world and connect with what’s going on in your world.

       4. Talk to Someone. This can help you work through your thoughts or how you are feeling. This could be a friend, family member, or a professional.
