Gulf States Gumbo
New episodes every Friday
The Gulf States Gumbo is your weekly serving of stories from Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana — cooked up by the Gulf States Newsroom. We're a team of journalists working with NPR & local public radio stations (WWNO, WRKF, Mississippi Public Broadcasting and WBHM) to cover the issues that matter to you — from across the region.
Our reporters break down the news and bring you a mix of stories on everything from disparities in health care and high utility bills to the latest niche sports popping up in unexpected corners of the region.
New episodes are available every Friday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, iHeart, YouTube Studios and Pocketcasts. It also broadcasts on WWNO 89.9 FM on Saturday mornings at 9:45 a.m.
