Getting to the Bottom of It

On this week’s episode of Getting to the Bottom of It, podcast co-hosts Lizzie Jensen and Max Porter discussed D.C. officials' plan to clear a homeless encampment in Triangle Park on Virginia Avenue between 21st and 22nd streets on May 15. They spoke with Shelly Byers and Kurt Johnson, who live in the encampment, and Yannik Omictin, a member of a local governing body that opposed the cleaning, to learn more about how locals have responded to the news.
