One of the most famous locations in Southern hip-hop history can be yours for the renting. The music production outfit known as Organized Noize’s homebase, the Dungeon, is available for rent on Airbnb.
What Is The Dungeon In Atlanta?
The Dungeon is where the hitmaking studio of Organized Noize was located. In the 1990s, the home was the residence of Atlanta producer Rico Wade. In the basement of that home was the Dungeon.
That’s where hit acts like Outkast, Goodie Mob, and Organized Noize formed the music collective known as the Dungeon Family.
In a video shared by Outkast member Big Boi, you get to see the interior of the Dungeon.
Three years ago, Big Boi purchased the property, showing it off on social media. Back then it still had many of the markings from its hey day.
But now, the spot has been renovated. Here’s a look inside:
Organized Noise’s Dungeon is one of many Atlanta homes on the popular platform Airbnb. These homes are getting national attention.

WarnerMedia is a major company hiring out of Atlanta, Georgia as well as New York, New York. if you want to work for the popular company, read on.
WarnerMedia is a relatively new brand on the entertainment scene. The company took over Turner assets in 2019 after the original brand was sold to AT&T. Since then, the company has focused on solidifying its place in the media landscape.
If you’re looking for a job at WarnerMedia in Atlanta, this article will show you how to get hired.
How To Get A Job At WarnerMedia: What You Need To Know
WarnerMedia is a company that is basically sectioned into three divisions: Warner Bros, Turner and Home Box Office.
I should know. I used to work there for seven years before leaving the company. Before you fill out an online application, you should consider this questions:
Why Do You Want To Work At WarnerMedia?
Although that sounds like a great interview question, it’s something you need to consider before you apply.
If you’re looking for a job or internship at WarnerMedia, the first question you need to ask yourself is why do you want it What is your motivation?
Do you just want to put a big-name company on your resume, or do you want to make a difference? Getting a job at WarnerMedia can add considerable skills to your development.
How Do I Apply For A Job At WarnerMedia?
If you want to apply for a job at WarnerMedia, their employment portal is located online at WarnerMediaCareers.com.
Take a look at the jobs and don’t forget to filter them based on your interests and experience. Once you find one, upload your job application.
Once you’ve submitted your application, be on the lookout for an email from the company. The email will be sent to the same address you entered when signing up on WarnerMedia’s career page.
If someone at the company likes your resume, expect a WarnerMedia recruiter to reach out to you either through email or via phone.
From there, you’ll get an interview scheduled. If it’s via video, here’s how to ace it.
Is WarnerMedia A Good Company To Work For?
WarnerMedia is a relatively good company, but is solidly run due to its inheritance of Turner Broadcasting’s management structure and staff.
In early 2021, AT&T announced that WarnerMedia would merge with Discovery to become one of the largest media companies in the world.
Also because of how large the company is, the hiring process can take several weeks or even months. But if they call, it’ll be worth it.
How Many Employees Does WarnerMedia Have?
According to 2022 statistics, WarnerMedia currently employs about 25,000 people, with the majority of them working in Atlanta and New York.
Final Word
WarnerMedia is just one of many Atlanta companies currently hiring workers.
It goes without saying that it doesn’t hurt if you happen to know someone who works for the company.
But if you don’t know anyone, there’s no need to feel like you don’t have a shot. The most important thing is to:
- Have a resume that stands out
- Apply for jobs that you’re qualified for
- Ace the interview process
Don’t have any connections? Make some by building a network on LinkedIn. Once you get a connection, quiz them on the company’s strengths and weaknesses, including what they like about their job.
Again, Turner has been known to take months to get back to you after you apply for a job. If you don’t hear anything within the first few weeks or months, try to be patient.
We currently have job articles that show you high-paying jobs, those close to downtown and even side hustles you might like.If you’re looking to get hired in Atlanta right now, there’s a very real possibility that you can land your dream job. -

Take a good look at your local gas stations and you’ll see it: Gas prices are rising. And affordable gasoline is getting hard to find not only in your local area, but nationwide.
As of right now, 24 states have average gas prices that have risen above $4 a gallon, according to AAA. You may wonder what those prices have to do with what’s going on at the pumps in Georgia: This article will tell you that as well as why now is a good time to fuel up.
Why Are Gas Prices So High In Atlanta Right Now?
Gas prices are high in Atlanta and other major metropolitan cities currently because of the stresses on the world oil market caused by the war in Ukraine.
Although it is true that crude oil prices have fallen over the past week or so, gasoline prices usually take several weeks before they follow suit. That means Atlanta motorists are in for more pain at the pump.
What Affects Gas Prices?
Factors that affect gas prices include how much the OPEC nations charge for oil. As you know, the OPEC nations are a cartel of nations that set and regulate oil prices around the world.
Another thing that affects gas prices is the weather and global crises like COVID-19 and in this case the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
All of that is why now is a good time to fill up your vehicle with petro. Gas up now so that you won’t be paying higher prices in the near future.
Where Is Cheap Gas Near You?
To save time, you can use Google to find cheap gas. Visit this link to find cheap gas near you.
Here’s How You Can Save Money On Gas
If you’re wondering what it takes to save money on gas, here are three suggestions you can put to good use.
- Use a Gas App
- Pay With Cash
- Join A Rewards Program
Last Words
One misconception that may be costing you money is assuming that buying a higher grade of fuel will help your car to run better. That’s not true in every case!
To find out what kind of gas benefits your car, refer to the owner’s manual. If it says that premium gasoline is recommended, then by all means please use that.
The truth is that cheap gas may work find for your vehicle. The type of gas you use will affect your engine’s performance and fuel economy, so always follow what’s written in your car’s manual.
