Ken McElrath, founder of Chattanooga tech startup Skuid. Meet a bagpiper near UTC; Carpetbagger Comedy Night. Coming to the Wanderlinger Festival: the band Eleusis. These voices - and more - on this edition of “Scenic Roots.”

(aired Mon 5/02/22) Most weekdays, you might hear the notes of bagpipes emanating from the Citizen Cemetery near our campus, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. The bagpiper works for UTC as a senior instructional designer - and you can trace his family back to Scotland.
