  • News From Home

    I'm really happy MPBS started this as a podcast. I'm part of an old tradition in Maine of men who have to leave the state in order to support their family. When I'm gone, which is over half of the year, T.D.I.M. keeps me informed and a little closer to home. Barbra Cariddi rocks!
