The Other Side of The "G": Episode 1

georgiadogs.com

Recently we partnered up with Professor Vicki Michaelis and her multi-platform journalism class at UGA’s Grady College, to produce a series of feature stories focused on sports.  We challenged the students to seek out information that went beyond the playing field, to explore more than just the box score or individual feats of athleticism….we invited them to go to a place we like to call, The Other Side of The G. This first episode starts thousands of miles away, where one athlete dreamed of a better life.

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.
