For this Word on the Street show we welcome Zina Zelter, a member of the Climate Action Leicester and Leicestershire, talking about the Leicester Local Government Pension Scheme and the impact it can have on climate change. On top of that we spoke with Oliver Lisle from the University of Manchester Rent Strike about the reasons behind this student strike, which is, now, withholding around half a million pounds of rent payment. We also went to campus to understand how student accommodation in Leicester is and if students are happy with their housing. Our artist spotlight in this edition is IZZO MNG, a London-based rapper. We also learn about the history of the Chinese New Year and its celebrations, and we ask our listeners for some weird facts and encounters they had in Leicester. Carolina and Leah are your hosts, Loryah is handling our social media channels, Leanne is driving the desk and Jinge is producing.
