Each week the show's hosts, Kamel King (Visit Mississippi) and Germaine Flood highlight well-known and unknown places in Mississippi with the best food, parks, music and arts.
They’ll not only tell you what’s going on in your neck of the woods but also share the history and people behind the markets, sporting events, concerts, fairs and festivals all over Mississippi.
