If you're in the Cape Girardeau area of Southeast Missouri like me, this week's day trip is a long haul, at about a 2.5-hour drive. But holy Ozarks, is it worth every gas station bathroom that you have to brave.
On this edition of the show, we get an update on the latest happenings with SEMO Alumni Director George Gasser; Nancy Palmeri tells us about "Innovation Dock" and how it gets high school students on campus to learn about what SEMO offers students on the River Campus and Brady Barke provides an update on SEMO Athletics.
