Podcast for September 5, 2025: Charlottesville City Council briefed on anti-camping ordinance while many audience members heckle

There is a different gravity to holidays weeks as the routine is challenged in exchange for the illusion of a day off. Or at least, that’s definitely the case with this edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement produced at the end of a truncated week in which a lot seems to have happened. I’m Sean Tubbs, and if you’re a skeptic of the audio, I still recommend listening to the first story today.
