Welcome to another podcast and this one will start a new direction for the long-running podcast. After hearing comments from the listeners over the years, every time I seem to have drifted off course, you said you liked the more focused podcats where we talk about Las Vegas and some of the highlights. As well, many of you said you liked the shorter versions.

I agree. They are more timely, they can be more informative for the Vegas Tourist or those who just want to keep tabs on what’s all going on here. Throw in an occasional interview or guest and of course, my always unbiased (cough-cough) opinions. Mix that in and call it Mondays with Mark.

It’s Wednesday
I know, its called Mondays with Mark and I will try my best to get them out each and every Monday. If you know me or have followed the blog for very long, you know I don’t exactly have the best record on keeping to a publishing schedule. So occasionally one may not be posted on Monday! They will be weekly and they will be current Las Vegas updates. Plus maybe a couple of occasions non-Vegas updates as well.
I can promise you that 90% of them will be under 10 minutes. Easy to consume, to read, to listen to and to move on from.
