Welcome to the first official episode of North Augusta On Top! Host Joseph Stanek introduces listeners to the podcast’s unique format: each episode benefits a different charitable industry in North Augusta to help support the city’s burgeoning growth. To begin the series, he takes listeners on a journey through North Augusta’s rich history, starting with a discovery of his own that will go down in the history books from now on. Local historian Mr. Milledge Murray from the North Augusta Arts & Heritage Center joins the podcast to provide listeners with a timeline of events and valuable insights from the Augusta metropolitan area’s past. Main topics include the Augusta National Exposition of 1888, North Augusta founder James U. Jackson, the ill-fated Hampton Terrace Hotel, North Augusta’s early brush with fame as the city that was almost “Hollywood”, North Augusta’s once-famous swimming attractions (including the opulent North Augusta Natatorium), and more. This is a philanthropic podcast the world has never seen.
