Last Friday, Jay Mathias and Rachel Parks, 2 UGA alumni, arrived in Athens after spending the past three days walking the 70 miles from Atlanta to bring awareness to racial issues and inequities at the University of Georgia. They join Chris Shupe to tell us more about the experience and why they did it.
Chris Shupe was the Program Director of WUGA from 2014-2022. Shupe may be best known as The Athens King, a tribute to Elvis Presley, which often included an 8 piece show band! After two years as a part-time announcer, Chris Shupe joined WUGA full time as the station’s Morning Edition Host and Assistant Operations Director. He was later promoted to PD in 2014.
