Maino and the Mayor

Whether it’s Influenza A or bad colds, these sicknesses are sticking around for more than a few days.

The show team agrees that it’s been a long week. Jim and John hit so many events over the weekend (and have a few coming up this weekend) that it feels like last week just continued into this week.

This week, it’s about Women’s Mental Health Awareness.
