Athens News Matters: 1/8/2021

This week on Athens News Matters:

Hundreds of millions of dollars, wall to wall TV ads, tons of mail, and two crucial Senate seats. Our panel looks back at Georgia’s roller coaster US Senate runoff elections. Also today, COVID-19 cases are skyrocketing around the state and the nation. We’ll talk to a public health expert about the state of the pandemic in and around Athens. Plus, how agribusiness is handling the pandemic economy.

He started at WUGA in 2012 as a part-time classical music host and still hosts WUGA's longest-running local program 'Night Music' which is heard on WUGA and GPB Classical.
