Listen "Surviving outside when the temperature dips below freezing"
Episode Synopsis
Middle Tennessee experienced a handful of sunny days this week, but this weekend, there's the possibility of snow. The temperature drop is a mild inconvenience for most residents, but it can be deadly for those who are unhoused.
In this episode, you'll hear from people who have experienced harsh weather when they didn't have stable housing and take a trip to one of Nashville's cold weather shelter.
Also in the show, WPLN News reporter Paige Pfleger discusses her recent coverage of the Southern Poverty Law Center's "Year in Hate" report.
It's Friday, which means host Khalil Ekulona is riding shotgun! He's in the passenger seat of Bekah Raye Cope's car as they chat about vintage shopping.
Guests:
WPLN News reporter Paige Pfleger
Terry Warren, previously unhoused
Vicky Batcher, previously unhoused writer
Alex Smith, outreach worker who was previously unhoused
Brian Haile, CEO of Neighborhood Health
Cathy Jennings, director of The Contributor
