City of Fresno sanitation workers rake trash into piles for a front loader to scoop up and dump into garbage trucks on Sept. 4. Omar Rashad | Fresnoland

On this week’s Fresnolandia podcast, Jordan and Dani go behind the scenes with Fresnoland’s housing reporter, Pablo Orihuela, about his recent reporting on homeless encampment sweeps. He shared the varying perspectives in talking to unhoused residents facing new anti-camping bans – and nearby residents in the quiet residential neighborhood – as well as the overwhelming feedback from the community about the story.

They also reviewed the week’s headlines, from the ongoing Sierra Unified de-annexation saga to a potential lawsuit over Latino representation in Clovis elections to the Assemi family’s legal woes.
