Welcome to the sixth episode of On the Scene: Reflecting on Mississippi's Top Stories! As we wrap up the year, we prepare ourselves for new promises, new beginnings, and new hopes. We also prepare ourselves with the turn of the year as we continue to live in a world struggling to function & survive during the pandemic. Since the start, policies have fluctuated frequently leaving many confused with what they are supposed to do to comply. In this episode, we aim to alleviate some of that confusion and get you up to speed with what you need to know about vaccine mandates. Over in Emma’s Opinion Corner, we discuss the pros and cons of final exams and Emma provides a film review of “Postcards from the Edge” (1990) streaming now on Hulu!
