Podcast: Athens Happens - Residents, students bring international climate strike to town

Athens Happens is a weekly news podcast brought to you by TNP reporters who are dedicated to explaining the nuances of Athens and state politics.

You can find new episodes every Friday right here on thenewpolitical.com. The show is also available on Spotify and SoundCloud, as well as on YouTube in a video format.

This week we discussed a large Uptown demonstration where community members protested to pressure local and world governments to combat climate change, why the Democratic National Committee chose to host the fourth Democratic debate in Westerville, Ohio — a suburb located north of Columbus — and opinion staff members’ opinions on how diversity affects the Athens community at large.
