Welcome to Season 2! Throughout 2023, the “Roots & Routes” podcast series will bring you conversations with special guests that explore the movement of people, both voluntary and involuntary, and its influence on the cultural heritage, natural environment, and modern makeup of Missouri. Join us as we look at how these movements have shaped Missouri and, to this day, weave a tapestry of diverse cultures that ultimately define and redefine this place. Season 1, "Eat, THINK, & Be Merry," was part of our 2022 Signature Series, and features “food thinkers” and other special guests with exciting, inspiring, and down-right delicious stories that consider the role food plays in shaping our society–how it connects us to each other, to our own pasts and identities, and to the world around us. LET US KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS! Take our survey: https://forms.gle/mdqsf9SrVNpyeXfV7
