During this trip I made the most pleasant discovery, which made the drive quite delightful.  MPB (Mississippi Public Broadcasting) Radio archives past program airings into podcasts available for free on their website.  I have never been a big podcast person but I love public radio, especially The Gestalt Gardner and Creature Comforts.  I was overjoyed once I realized I could plug my iphone into my FM transmitter and listen to my favorite radio programs through my car’s speakers.  We learned so much about gardening and animals in Mississippi.  Both of these shows are informative and hilarious. Oh and I even named the alligator that lives in the bayou behind The Boxer and the Barrel, Felder after The Gestalt Gardner’s Felder Rushing.

Creature Comforts on MPB

Our favorite Creature Comfort podcasts include:

  • Thursday, 30 September – Big Cats (This podcast discusses Black Panther/Cougar sightings in MS and reminds me of an episode of Monster Quest.)
  • Thursday, 26 August – Flies (The expert on flies is hilarious!)
  • Thursday, 15 July – Birds of Prey with Falconer David Hall
  • Thursday, 19 November – Bear (This podcast is awesome!  I learned so much about our bear population in MS.)

The Hi-Tone Bathroom wall

I carry around at least one marker in my purse at all times because I enjoy writing on bathroom walls.   It is really cool that someone actually saw something I wrote!!!

Unhappy Hipsters the debate

The debate — whether the ubiquity of suburban neo-modern developments was really an upgrade from new-money McMansions — ended in a standoff, mired by the generation gap. (Photo: David Lauridsen, Dwell, July/August 2008)
