Our friends at Big Car Collaborative are celebrating Indiana poet and activist Mari Evans' birthday today, and you can join them!

“An Audio Family Album” is a three-part audio series focusing on what was most important to Evans: family. You can catch it on Big Car’s radio station, 99.1 WQRT and it's also available on their website and other podcasting platforms.

If you don't have time to tune in today, there will be encores on 99.1 in the next several months.
