Show Notes

In this episode of the Athens News podcast, we delve into the heart of Athens, Georgia. We examine the aftermath of Laken Riley's tragic death and the heated debates it has sparked in our community. We also discuss the controversial House Bill 1105 that targets undocumented immigrants and how it could impact our city.

A bizarre road rage incident on Prince Avenue raises concerns about safety, while social media reactions to a representative's gesture to honor Laken Riley reveal a divided public opinion.

In the midst of these turbulent times, we find a ray of hope as Mikhayla Robinson Smith, a local author and educator, steps up as the new Poet Laureate. Join us as we navigate through these compelling stories shaping our community.
