TO KAREN BROWN'S INTERVIEW

WITH ENGINEER BOB BUIE

In a continued effort to provide relevant, interesting and engaging programming to our state audience of listeners, the News and Public Affairs Department of MPB recently launched a new weekday, 30 minute program. “Mississippi Edition,” hosted by Karen Brown, airs weekday mornings at 8:30 and features, not only the latest news of the day, but the opportunity to delve into some of those news stories with the people who are making the news themselves.

We’ll tackle everything from state government to education….from Medicaid to social security. Plus we’ll tell you about little towns and the big cities. We’ll even introduce you to famous native sons and your not so famous neighbors.

So tune in to MPB Think Radio weekday mornings at 8:30 to hear Mississippi Edition. And please keep checking back to our website as we continue to add new and engaging content. Thank you for listening and supporting Mississippi Public Broadcasting.
