In Episode 27 of Swinford Media’s podcast on all-things local, our crew celebrates Christmas with some weird tales and some off-key singing. Who won our favorite song contest, a Donkey or a Reindeer? And what is Bill smoking, anyway? We also hear about a new mural near Tower Square, a roundup of recent happenings in downtown Marion and a trip to a Herrin Italian market that scored some childhood favorites for Bill, Monica and Tom. Don’t miss this episode, so good we recorded it twice! “Squared Up!” Is a weekly podcast featuring Bill Swinford, Monica Daniels and Tom Mann, who bring you the best of Southern Illinois.
