Street Roots
Episode 12: The longtime vendor talks about the future of Street Roots, the state and the planet
by DeVon Pouncey | 14 Oct 2020

On this episode of the Street Roots Podcast, longtime Street Roots vendor Dan Newth joined host DeVon Pouncey and discussed what it has been like to be able to return to selling the print edition of Street Roots after it was suspended in March.

“It was like reconnecting with myself, or a part of myself," he said. "I’ve been out there selling papers for a long time, and I am a part of the community where I sell. We missed each other. The community missed me, and I missed them.”

Dan also spoke about the recent wildfires, as he has great interest in climate change and its effects.

“These fires represented another acceleration of abrupt climate change," he said. "I wrote an article a year ago about what we were going to have to face with climate refugees. Here in Oregon, local, city, county municipalities need to plan for this because it’s coming. I didn’t realize they were going to be refugees from our home state."

Dan also discussed his mental health, what he envisions for the future of Street Roots, and more.
