Urban One’s New Podcast Spotlights Altadena Wildfire Survivors In Los Angeles
URBAN ONE has launched ALTADENA: AFTER THE FIRE, a new podcast from THE URBAN ONE PODCAST NETWORK and the company’s newly formed philanthropic division, URBAN ONE CARES. The series will spotlight the aftermath of the GREATER LOS ANGELES wildfires.
Original episodes will air twice monthly through OCTOBER, with additional specials released intermittently. Episodes are available on THE URBAN ONE PODCAST NETWORK, APPLE PODCASTS, SPOTIFY, and YOUTUBE.
The podcast is hosted by URBAN ONE SVP/Programming Audio Division COLBY COLB TYNER and will focus on the impact of the fires on SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA’s ALTADENA residents and businesses, as well as the environmental and political dynamics behind the disaster.
TYNER said, “It is very important that we do not forget this tragedy. As national news coverage has slowly dwindled once the fires were extinguished, we wanted to be a voice for the residents of ALTADENA and keep the rest of the world informed of what is happening. We welcome you to join us as we document the journey of a community determined to rise from the ashes.”
URBAN ONE also unveiled a partnership with LOS ANGELES-based nonprofit BROTHERHOOD CRUSADE to support its WILDFIRE RELIEF FUND. Donations will assist survivors with housing, food, clothing, and personal care needs.
