Athens-Clarke County commissioners decided this week to postpone a vote on a third round of bond financing for the Classic Center Arena – a move that one official called a grave mistake. At the same time, the project’s contract with its master developer is in doubt. WUGA’s Martin Matheny sat down with Paul Cramer, President and CEO of the Classic Center to talk about the arena project and what’s next.
In Georgia, more than half of us have a pet in our home. And most of us consider that animal a member of the family. At the University of Georgia’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital, a veterinary social worker helps clients deal with the stress of having a sick pet and the grief of having one die. Graduate students from the UGA School of Social Work are interning there and learning about the human-animal bond.
WUGA’s new podcast, Aquathread, illustrates the connections in our world from land to water to people, and everything in between. The podcast works to bring you new voices and often underrepresented perspectives on many intertwined topics.
