COVID-19 cases are rising in Georgia and across the country. To find out what’s happening and what we should do, WUGA’s Martin Matheny sat down with Spencer Fox, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology & Biostatistics at the University of Georgia.
The Chattahoochee River is one of Georgia's great natural treasures. Today, much of the river is a beautiful place to hike, bike, and explore, but that wasn’t always the case. That the river is healthier and cleaner is due in part to decades of work by Chattahoochee Riverkeeper and their founding riverkeeper Sally Bethea (beth-AY).
Bethea is also the author of Keeping the Chattahoochee: Reviving and Defending a Great Southern River, released earlier this year by the University of Georgia Press, and she’ll be visiting Athens for an author event and book signing on Tuesday, September 5 at 7pm at the Athens-Clarke County Library.
Recently, WUGA’s Martin Matheny sat down with Bethea for WUGA’s upcoming new podcast, Paged, to talk about the river, her work, and her book.
