Chattanooga is a place for homegrown and hyperlocal podcasting. A story in Monday’s edition of The Chattanooga Times Free Press sampled a variety of local podcasts. Among them: "Amigos Unidos," a Spanish language podcast hosted by Jose Otero.
On March 19th, 1906, a violent mob lynched Ed Johnson, a young Black man, on the Walnut Street Bridge here in Chattanooga. In 2021, the Ed Johnson Memorial was dedicated near the bridge - and two series airing on WUTC told his story: "We Care Now," by podcasting students at UTC, and "The Ed Johnson Conversations" on "Scenic Roots."
