Episode 26: Katie Blomquist with Going Places

Sep 20, 2021

South Carolina this past week surpassed 10,000 ‘confirmed’ COVID-19 deaths. The grim milestone came just one day after the state reported one of its deadliest days during the pandemic with 138 new deaths. Christian talks about these latest numbers and the Charleston County School District declaring that any student who shows up to school without a mask will be forced to learn remotely. Christian then discusses Charleston City Council opting against making the city’s Special Commission on Equity, Inclusion and Racial Conciliation a permanent fixture. And, of course, Christian talks about the latest twists and turns in the Murdaugh drama.

 

Christian then spoke with Katie Blomquist, the founder and executive director of Going Places, a local nonprofit whose mission is to provide disadvantaged kids with their most basic childhood right - a right to joy.
