Author: New Pod City | Frank and Christina Sasso April 3, 2025 Duration: 41:25

In the exciting debut episode of Brunswick Waves, hosts Frank and Christina Sasso sit down with Brunswick, Georgia's own Mayor Cosby H. Johnson.

As the city's leader, Mayor Johnson shares his vision for Brunswick’s growth, the challenges facing the community, and the exciting opportunities on the horizon.

From the historic charm of this coastal city to its modern-day revitalization efforts, this conversation offers a unique insight into what makes Brunswick special and the efforts to shape its future.

Tune in for an inspiring and thought-provoking discussion as we kick off this new podcast, bringing the voices of Brunswick to the forefront.


Tucked between the well-trodden paths of Savannah and Jacksonville lies a coastal community with its own distinct rhythm. Brunswick Waves is a podcast that rides that rhythm, hosted by Frank and Christina Sasso, a pair who traded New York City skylines for the live oaks and salt marshes of Georgia's Golden Isles. Their perspective as enthusiastic newcomers fuels a genuine curiosity about their adopted home. Each episode is less an interview and more of a conversation, pulling listeners into the stories of the people who shape Brunswick's character. You'll hear from longtime shrimpers, artists drawing inspiration from the marshland, chefs defining the local cuisine, and historians preserving the area's layered past. This podcast naturally avoids broad travelogue clichés, instead focusing on the specific textures of community life-the challenges of a family business, the legacy of a local legend, or the quiet beauty of a hidden spot known only to residents. It’s an auditory exploration of how a place is defined not just by its geography, but by the collective voices within it. For anyone interested in the soul of a Southern coastal town, Brunswick Waves offers an intimate, human-scale portrait, one conversation at a time.
