OTLS: Season 3 Episode 1

Covering the data center debacle

Thumbnail image for episode 1 of season 3. I'm feeling parched just looking at it.

Summer is nearly over, boo! That means a new season of Over the Loud Speaker, YAY! Episode 1 is here, and we are covering what might be the most talked-about issue in Hayward (and definitely the most-read content here at the Hayward Herald), the data center! Can you believe it? Something has finally surpassed the loop in how much it is hated by Hayward residents.

We are joined by Naomi Powell-Ha, who has been covering the data center debacle for the Hayward Herald. She is the author of two articles, "Data Center Resistance Builds" and "Who Approved Hayward's Largest Data Center?". In an in-depth discussion, we cover who approved the data center and the recent town hall blow-up where residents came seeking answers from the Mayor and the city. As in every episode, we cover the headlines you might have missed and introduce two new segments covering Hayward news.

As always, let us know what you thought of the episode in the comments. If you have any suggestions for topics we should cover in the future, let us know that as well. If you would like to send the host of this podcast a new computer, reach out to him directly (the video quality is getting worse, y'all).
