Mississippi Public Broadcasting’s television series Mississippi Roads jumps from the screen to your ears in the new Mile Marker podcast available Saturday, August 1.
Twenty episodes will be released for on-demand listening pleasure and are less than 20 minutes per show. In Mile Marker, you will still be able to explore Mississippi’s unique landmarks, attractions, culture and people while practicing physical distancing measures amid the current pandemic.
Locations covered in this first season of the Mile Marker podcast include the Central Mississippi Turtle Rescue in Florence, Mississippi and a visit to the Mississippi Art Colony — one of the oldest artist-run colonies in the country.
Mile Marker also dives into Mississippi history with features outlining how some of the unusual town names of the state came to be. Listeners may even use the podcast to plan their next outdoor adventure after hearing the episode on zip-lining in Winona, Mississippi or visit the state’s last drive-in movie theater in Iuka, Mississippi.
