This Week on MNN: Tales of might, tales of fright, and tales of great delight
Happy Monday, everybody! What a week we’ve got ahead for you on MNN. Watch as “The Woman’s Connection” features an inspiring talk with a Stage 4 breast cancer survivor, and “Gotta Run with Will” guest host interviews the oldest woman to ever finish the New York City Marathon. “The Facts” continues its October music series, and speaking of music, how about dancing along with the Thriller NYC Zombie Dancers on “GingerNewYork?” Plus, we’re proud to announce our latest MNN premiere—“Makilala TV,” the first Filipino-American talk show, this Friday on MNN2.
A little bit of fright, a whole lot of might, and as always, many shows of great delight—all this week on MNN.
