After federal workers were fired in February, many warned it would be much harder to keep the over 3 million acres in the Bridger-Teton National Forest clean, accessible and safe this summer. We check in. Also, what the passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” may mean for rural hospitals like St. John's here in Jackson, a chat with a four-member bluegrass band from Victor and a high alpine lake in the southern end of the Wind River Range is the nation's poopiest.Mid-episode music this week is from the Balsamroots, a four-member band based in Victor, Idaho, that has been playing in and around the Tetons since forming in 2018.Jackson Unpacked airs locally at 89.1 FM or via live-stream Mondays at 7:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., and Fridays and Sundays at 12:30 p.m. Support Jackson's only nonprofit newsroom by becoming a member of KHOL today.

This week on the show, we say goodbye to our childhood heroes, Hulk Hogan and Ozzy Osbourne. Gone too soon, they will be missed. A new study shows that 1 in 5 NFL players use nicotine pouches. No wonder they are modern day gladiators. And speaking of gladiators, we break down the AFC West, possibly the best division in the NFL this season. All 4 teams over .500? We think so. Meanwhile…Scottie Scheffler dominates at the Open Championship, Brad Pitt breaks wind on the set of F1, Jimbo Fisher is alive, and Curt Cignetti is a coward. Are the Charlotte Hornets a dark horse to win the NBA Championship? Is the Big 12 too big for its britches?? Does Arch Manning not have any friends??? And is LeBron James pregnant????

Resilience is like a whitebark pine tree: When life tries to beat you down, you stand up strong in the face of adversity.  So what does that mean for those of us who like to go into the mountains? In this episode of The Fine Line, we step aside from our stories of rescues to have a conversation about resilience and the importance of mental health as a backcountry safety issue. Our guests for this show are: Josie McKee is a professional climber, mental health coach for climbers, a volunteer with Lander Search & Rescue, and the director of communications and operations for the Responder Alliance. Hunter Lee is a mental health coach and founder of Flourish JH. They sit down with host Matt Hansen to explain why resilience matters to mountain athletes and how backcountry users can be aware of how stress may impact their decision-making. The Fine Line theme song is by Anne and Pete Sibley, with additional music provided by Ben Winship. Original artwork by Jen Reddy Ink. Editing and sound by Melinda Binks. This interview was recorded in the studios of KHOL 89.1 FM. This episode is sponsored by https://arcteryx.com. For more on resilience and stress injuries, go to www.ResponderAlliance.com.

The most famous North Face in the United States... a terrible accident... a daring helicopter rescue... and some important lessons learned about risk and what it means to move on from chasing your dream. In this next episode of The Fine Line, climber Jim Dahle explains how a fall on the North Face of the Grand Teton left him unconscious, with severe head, neck, and facial trauma. His partner, Christian Feinhauer, was left to treat his longtime friend and call for help from the Jenny Lake Rangers. Ken Kreis, a year-round Jenny Lake Ranger, discusses how the rescue unfolded into a helicopter mission, where the blades of the ship were just feet from the cliff face. The pilot that day was Jon Bourke, from Teton County Search & Rescue, underscoring the critical partnership between TCSAR and the Jenny Lake Rangers. As Dahle says, “Not all heroes were capes. Some of them wear harnesses.” You can learn more about the Jenny Lake Rangers and how you can support them at www.gtnpf.org/jenny-lake-rangers. Story and interview by Matt Hansen.

On this week's episode: The print news scene in Pinedale is a one-woman show. We journey 80 miles to the Western outpost to see how a start-up radio station is trying to parch the news desert, and all the political challenges that come with the territory.

When climber Dave Black got a new lease on life after receiving a revolutionary treatment for Parkinson's, he wanted to once again stand on the summit of the Grand Teton. A lifelong climber with 15-20 ascents on the Grand, he invited two younger climbers to join him for a push up the Exum Ridge on July 16, 2024. The events that occurred that day revealed several complex layers of high consequence adventure: decision-making, preparedness, person-to-person conflict, and the effect of a disease like Parkinson's. In this episode, Dave is joined by Lexie Hunsaker, a seasonal Jenny Lake Climbing Ranger at Grand Teton National Park, who was inserted via helicopter short-haul—at about 12,800 feet up—to assist in the response.

The future is bright in OKC but if we've learned one thing during these NBA Playoffs, no dynasty is guaranteed, despite a low payroll and arsenal of draft picks.

KHOL's full conversation with local music teacher, Melissa Elliott AKA "Missy Jo". Her latest EP Talk to Me Baby was self released on April 29th, 2025.

Once upon a time, there was a heroic knight, the greatest of Charlamagne's famed paladins, and his name was Orlando (or Roland, depending on whom you ask.)  Among his many heroic deeds and great journeys was this: a quest to a magical isle to abduct the headstrong princess Angelica and steal the ashes of Melin (yes, that Merlin).  As his failure to win Angelica's heart leads him down the path to madness, we must ask: is there hope for this broken hero after all? Antonio Vivaldi, famed composer of The Four Seasons, is not widely known for his operas, however, he composed between 70 and 100 in his lifetime.  Join us for a discussion of this treasure of Baroque opera.

So you're saying there's a chance… What's crazier, the Pope being a White Sox fan or the Mavs winning the #1 pick in the NBA draft? Toss up! Unless Nico trades for Giannis, Cooper Flagg will become a Dallas Maverick. The lottery has spoken and the rigged system has rewarded the embattled GM with a generational talent. Deserving? Hell no. A worthy consolation prize for making the worst trade in NBA history? Sure. Meanwhile in the NBA Playoffs, the Thunder are in trouble, as they now head back to Oklahoma City for a Game 7 with the 2023 champion Denver Nuggets.

In the foreground for county electeds is public land, where workers who manage the vast majority of our county have been fired, rehired and grappled with resignations. Advocates say the impacts have only just begun. In town, we hear from workers laid off prematurely from the county's health department who helped people get vaccinated and navigate complex paperwork. And we hear from a team that mapped miles of fence on public lands east of Yellowstone near Cody to help wildlife while balancing the needs of working cattle lands. Jackson Unpacked airs locally at 89.1 FM or via live-stream Mondays at 7:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., and Fridays and Sundays at 12:30 p.m. Support Jackson's only nonprofit newsroom by becoming a member of KHOL today.

The 2025 NFL Draft is in the books and it was a pretty good time. Days 2 and 3 became much more interesting than in years past, with the freefall of Shedeur, the Mel Kiper meltdown, and a handful of prank calls to prospects. Shedeur, Abdul Carter, Tyler Warren, Kyle McCord…the list goes on. Meanwhile in the NBA, the Lakers are going home early. Third best record in the West to a gentleman's sweep at the hands of the Timberwolves. Coach JJ voices his disappointment with a shot fired at the team, “We have to get in championship shape." In the NHL, the Golden Knights, Maple Leafs, Capitals, and Panthers have moved onto the second round. Could the Stars and Oilers do the same?

Round 1 of the NFL Draft is in the books. Mostly business in the trenches on Thursday as the Guards, Tackles, and Edges ruled the night. The sexiest moves?
