Dudley Mayor Jason Locke goes Slightly Off The Record with Kyle Dominy, Clay Reynolds and Payton Towns III for a wide-ranging conversation covering everything from Little League baseball and softball to upcoming sewer improvement work. He offered an update on those much-needed repairs, which are just underway, to some critical sections of the city's aging infrastructure, and how they fit into opportunities for future growth. But here at the height of the summer, Dudley Little League – whose all-star teams are currently in the thick of postseason play – was the first order of business. He explained his vision in founding the organization back in 2011, and how its growth and success over 15 seasons has been tied as much to the community's family- and faith-based environment as it is to sports. Further reflections about life in this quintessential small town led to some perspective on what gives Dudley a sense of home for so many, including those in the tight-knit Locke family who were hit hard by the unexpected passing of his older brother Bobby just over a month ago. He shares some memories of the former ballplayer and dedicated DLL volunteer, as well as another member of the league's family whose loss, just as suddenly a few years ago, has inspired a fitting memorial in the form of a weekly concession stand special featuring his favorite menu item.

Max Brown Pharmacy owner Al Purser goes Slightly Off The Record with Kyle Dominy for a conversation about the local business, its long history serving the community and why that strong relationship will only continue in a new location less than a block from its original home on North Jefferson Street. The Cochran native shares about his over three and a half decades working in retail pharmacy (almost all in Dublin after he originally moved back to the area to help establish the local K-Mart store in 1991), how his experience at both corporate and independently-owned stores has shaped an appreciation for personal connections and family values that are not only the lifeblood of a successful small business, but also the heart of former owner Max Brown's legacy of customer service that he's vowed to carry on. He also explains the needs that prompted their recent move, why it was important to remain in the same area of town and the new business opportunities they've been afforded in the drastically expanded space.

Longtime Middle Georgia photojournalist Jason Vorhees goes Slightly Off The Record to talk about his three decades covering the area for The Telegraph and GTLN's Macon Melody. He shares about his approach to the craft, philosophy on storytelling and love for newspapers, as well as the favorite shots and most memorable assignments that stand out as highlights of his career. We also discuss the passion for sports that first sparked his interest in photography and what it's like sharing the name of a well-known slasher movie villain.
