Our weekly program, Missouri State Journal, is a collaboration between KSMU Radio and Missouri State University. It's hosted and produced by MSU's Office of Strategic Communication, and it airs each Tuesday morning at 9:45 on KSMU.

Thomas Morris, assistant director of outdoor adventures at Missouri State University, offers some insight into what the Ozarks has to offer during the fall.
