The Undercurrent – 2/17/19 – S11E4 – Costs and Benefits
February 19, 2019
This week on the Undercurrent, host Cole Tunningley presents stories about costs and benefits.
First, we hear from Robert Jenkins, a local comedian who just released his second album, Attempted Salvation. Later this month, Robert is appearing at a Planned Parenthood benefit show at Mac’s Bar.
Then, reporters Sophie Sagan and Nick Saba find out what is happening to Michigan State students’ tuition costs next year.
Sagan speaks to folks in administration working to implement the new policy. Then, Saba speaks with MSU students who will be affected by this change.

Sophie is a senior at Michigan State majoring in social relations and policy and minoring in documentary production. She has been at The Impact in one way or another since 2016. Her current position is News Director and host of the Undercurrent, WDBM's weekly news and storytelling podcast.

I am a junior biosystems engineer here at MSU. I was a volunteer at the Impact for 2 years before becoming the Undercurrent producer. I now hope to create interesting and topical stories to share with everyone around Michigan State.
