Join Melissa Carter for this week's Athens News podcast, where we delve into the latest local news, from crime to economics, and even some bizarre incidents.
In this episode, we discuss a series of shoplifting incidents at an Athens Walmart involving young children, a dangerous domestic dispute that led to a man defending his home with a kitchen knife, and Georgia's promising economic outlook for 2024 despite an expected slowdown.
We also cover an unusual story of a woman who accidentally shot herself during an MRI test due to a concealed firearm.
On a brighter note, we highlight the outstanding community service of the Athens Free Clinic, which has been honored with the 2023 Star of Community Achievement award.
Finally, in our sports segment, we celebrate the achievements of our local athletes, including Sedrick Van Pran's recent honor and the Bulldogs' upcoming Orange Bowl game against Florida State.
Tune in for these stories and more on the Athens News podcast, brought to you by Drake Realty.
