I'm Aisha Roscoe and this is The Sunday Story from Up First.
The new cycle moves fast and is often focused on what's happening in Washington,
like cutting federal workers, tariffs, things like that.
But how are the headlines playing out for everyday people?
For the past several months,
NPR reporters Debbie Elliott and Kirk Sigler have been fanning out from Mississippi to Montana to see how President Trump's early actions are affecting Americans.
And they're joining us to take a little radio road trip to hear some of that reporting.
Welcome to the podcast.
Hey, Aisha.
Great to be here.
Hi, Aisha.
Thanks for having us.
So, you know, I do love a good road trip.
As long as I'm not driving, you know, I have some Doritos, a Coke, and I control the playlist.
But for this road trip, this reporting road trip, where are we headed first?
Well, I want to take you first to Tupelo, Mississippi.
How does that sound?
That sounds good.
Okay, so Tupelo is up in the north central part of the state.
It's not that far if you're making a road trip, say from Memphis.
