The 12th Annual Homelessness Marathon, a national radio dialogue on poverty and housing in the US, will take place for 13 hours Monday night through Tuesday morning, February 23-24. Once again, WMBR will be among more than 100 stations airing this unique 13-hour program. Originating this year in Pass Christian, Mississippi, near the Ground Zero of Hurricane Katrina, the Marathon is a live, outdoor, broadcasting event featuring homeless people, advocates for the homeless and call-ins from the public. A broadcast booth is set up outside, with open mics for people who are out on the street in Pass Christian that night.
