From the Emory Wheel, this is Wheel Talk. A new podcast focusing on news surrounding Emory University. Tune in to hear about the pertinent stories on campus, explained by Wheel journalists.
COVID-19 was a tough time for many, but others found inspiration in isolation. First launched in October 2020, Wheel Talk has covered stories all around Emory's campus, Decatur and all of Atlanta. From Covid-19 to classroom debates, from mummies to mayoral forums, we have interviewed dozens of individuals and listened in on their takes on relevant events.
For this episode of Wheel Talk, we say goodbye to the podcast’s founder and former Emory Wheel Digital Operations & Multimedia editor, Gabriella Lewis (23C). We talk about how the project started, some of the initial obstacles, and Gabriella’s hopes for the future.

The making of a union
In this week’s episode of Wheel Talk, we speak with News Editor Madi Olivier about the recent organizing efforts of EmoryUnite!, Emory’s grad student union. EmoryUnite!, a graduate student union founded in 2016, has been focusing on issues such as a living wage that corresponds with inflation, protection from unfair treatment, affordable and comprehensive healthcare, a legal contract and more.
Laney students’ stipends vary depending on their department, averaging at $34,595.63 during the 2022-23 academic year. Under the new increase, that average will jump to $36,637.53. However, the increased stipend still falls about $3,000 short of the living wage in Atlanta, which is about $39,374.40 for one adult without children.
