Hey, Pios! Welcome back to The PioPod! We have some juicy stories to share with y’all today. We will be talking with the Editor in Chief Nic Nerli about LC’s current budget crisis, and listening to News Editor Venus Edlin interview LC Alum Matt Wuerker, a Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist and founding staff member of Politico. We are also chatting with staff writer Nathan Oakley about the salary freezes LC faculty and staff are experiencing. Given the complexity of our main segments, this episode will not feature any voicers, but be sure to check out our next episode for those stories. Things may have changed by the time you hear this.
