News You Can Use

Welcome to episode 8 of News You Can Use, a podcast by PA Stands Up.

On today's episode, it's a they-kover! (a he/they/they/he takeover). Temp host Ashleigh Strange (they/he) is joined by Alec Walker-Serrano (he/they), a Scranton Activist and NEPA Stands Up volunteer leader with NEPA’s LGBTQ+, comms, and labor teams. We learn about what's happening in the forests of NorthEastern PA and in the deepest depths of the ocean. Spoiler: we're team Orca all the way.

Welcome to episode 7 of News You Can Use, a podcast by PA Stands Up.

On today's episode, we're Voting Yes For Jess! Host Pele IrgangLaden abandoned us to get married so Ashleigh Strange steps in to interview Berks Stands Up endorsed candidate Jess Royer for Berks County Commissioner. He talks about making the shift from mild-mannered librarian to rabble-rousing activist and how his time in boring zoning board meetings made him a better candidate. Not officially sponsored by Smokey the Bear, but we plug his sacrifices anyway.
