A leadership decision can look “done” before it officially begins, and that’s where we start. We break down the Mississippi University for Women president search, including what we heard from the public listening sessions and why the insider versus outsider question matters for MUW’s identity. We talk about the excitement around a well-connected MUW alum and seasoned public figure.
From higher education politics to local government accountability, the conversation shifts to Columbus City Hall and the escalating dispute involving the city’s public information officer role.
Then we welcome our guest, Charles Yarborough, the new Columbus Fire Department fire chief. He tells us why he came out of retirement, why he says a fire chief has to be a “politician” and a firefighter, and what he’s changing right away. As bonus content, we also talk with Betty Bryan about Columbus’ historic Pilgrimage and the work of telling a more inclusive story that includes African American history alongside the architecture.
