In mountain towns and plains communities, voters approach Tuesday's primary with a unique agenda. CPR has been traveling the state to hear what's on their minds. Then, Megan Falley, the widow of Colorado's late poet laureate, Andrea Gibson, reflects on loss and the possibility of an afterlife with Andrea Dukakis for "Searching for Jobie." A film of Gibson's final live performance with the Colorado Symphony premieres at Red Rocks on July 5. And later, the Local 303 celebrates Pride with local musicians ahead of this Sunday's parade and the Local 303 meetup on Monday. 

This episode recorded live at the Becker's Rural Health Leadership Summit features Dallas Killian, Chief Operating Officer, East Adams Rural Healthcare. He discusses guiding a rural hospital through financial challenges, the importance of transparency and community trust, and how empowering teams to help solve problems can create sustainable paths forward during times of uncertainty.

Farm viability depends on much more than what happens in the field. While we often focus on production and farm management, many of the biggest challenges farmers face are shaped by what happens. After harvest: processing, packaging, distribution, and access to markets. As processing facilities and post-production industries become increasingly consolidated, primary producers are left with fewer options for where and how to sell their products. Not long ago, much of this work happened on farms or through small-scale enterprises in nearby towns. These local processing systems allowed farmers to capture more value, reach customers more directly, strengthen rural economies, and create meaningful employment close to home. In today's panel, we'll speak with farmers and small-scale processors who are keeping these local industries alive while finding new ways to make them viable in an era of mass production and industrial consolidation. Together, we'll explore practical opportunities for adding value to raw farm products, the real challenges of setting up micro-processing operations, and the lessons learned from people already doing it. We'll also look at how farmers can start their own processing enterprises or collaborate with others in their community to transform their products, diversify income, and rebuild more resilient local food economies.

Cheaper farm down the road sinking your sales? It's not your prices. It's a skill gap, and it's fixable. In the final episode of our 4-part farm marketing foundation series, Charlotte breaks down exactly how to get customers to drive out of their way to a rural farm, keep them coming back season after season, and stop fearing the cheaper competition. You'll hear how one client, Valerie in Pennsylvania, 10x'd her farm stand sales in six months, with five other farm stands, six weekly farmers markets, and cheaper butcher shops all surrounding her, and a farm building you can't even see from the road. Inside this episode: Why relationship (not price) is what makes someone drive past five cheaper farms to get to yours The real reason customers don't come back after the first sale How to build your email list at community events, pop-ups, and partnerships Off-season email strategy that keeps customers loyal year after year How far in advance to market wedding flowers, CSAs, and seasonal products The 5-day launch framework that has farmers selling out in one week This is the long-game foundation that has farmers in the Profitable Farmer program selling out, charging their worth, and serving customers for an average of five years. If you're a farmer wondering why people aren't finding you, or why they're not coming back, this is the episode that ties the whole marketing foundation together.

Van Buren, Maine, had a problem no town wants: it owned more than half of its downtown buildings through tax acquisition. When Luke Dyer became town manager after a long career in law enforcement, he was facing vacant storefronts, deteriorating buildings, flood-damaged land, and a downtown that had lost traffic after the port of entry moved away from Main Street. In this episode, Dyer shares how Van Buren began putting buildings back into productive use, turning an underused ice rink into pickleball courts, growing trees for Main Street in a community greenhouse, and converting its old town office into a business incubator.

I've known Josie Manternach since she was roughly in first grade, and I still learned things about her in this conversation that I didn't know. Josie is an educator by trade, a military spouse, a mom, and now a community impact leader at the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque. But the path that got her there? It's the kind of story that is going to hit differently depending on where you are right now, whether you're holding tightly to a plan that's starting to unravel, or you're on the other side of a pivot wondering how all the pieces are going to fit together. She grew up in Cascade, fell in love with the ag room at Cascade High School, went to Iowa State to become an ag teacher, and had what she thought was her whole life figured out. Then came a retirement, a once-in-a-lifetime job offer, a Navy JAG program acceptance, a cross-country move, a pandemic, a baby, a thesis, and eventually... a path back home that looked different from the one she'd imagined. Every single step of it makes sense when you hear her tell it. What You'll Hear in This Episode: How the ag room at Cascade High School shaped Josie's entire career trajectory (and why belonging matters more than we think) The once-in-a-lifetime job offer that arrived at the exact same moment as her husband's Navy JAG acceptance What it felt like to leave the dream job she thought she'd retire from...at age 24 Life as a military spouse: navigating DC, Florida, a pandemic, a newborn, and starting over more than once How she learned to build community from scratch in places where she didn't know anyone Teaching middle school science in Maryland, working in higher ed in Florida, and what each season taught her Completing a master's thesis through Ohio State while working full time and raising a toddler Her current work at the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque: dyslexia tutoring, rural teacher retention, third grade literacy, and the grad partnership initiative The stat that stopped me cold: 47 students now receiving dyslexia tutoring weekly in Dubuque...where two years ago there were zero local options Resources and Links: Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque: dbqfoundation.org Rural Teacher Summit: coming this summer at Camp Little Cloud in Epworth Contact Josie directly through the Community Foundation website Listen and Subscribe: Spotify Apple Podcasts If Josie's story resonated with you, share it with someone who is in the middle of a plan that just got disrupted.

10 years ago, Mother Jones investigator Shane Bauer went undercover at a private prison in Louisiana. Disguised as a prison guard, he observed the violence and neglect at Winn Correctional Center in Winnfield, Louisiana. His report drew the attention of many, including President Obama, who stated the government would discontinue sending federal inmates to private prison, which was ultimately unfulfilled when President Trump took office.10 years later, Winn is still operating. Now it serves as a processing and detention facility for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Bauer spoke with Louisiana Considered's Alana Schreiber about how he's reflected on the ten years since his investigation, and the state of the private prison industry today. The Lafon Performing Arts Center in Luling, Louisiana has built a one-of-kind program that seeks to increase arts education among students in rural areas.

TRINITY VANDENACRE TALKS PUBLIC LAND WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT, AMERICAN PRAIRIE RESERVE, AND RURAL ECONOMICS ON RURAL ROUTE WITH TRENT LOOS Wildlife is thriving on private land and struggling on public land — and Trinity Vandenacre has the footage to prove it. The "Life in the West" creator joins Trent to discuss the best management of the natural resources.

Last month on the evening of 26 May a huge lightning storm centred over a remote wooded area on the Leicestershire-Rutland border where we had left the Lento box alone to record. From where we were staying about three quarters of a mile away we could see fork lightning. We were worried that our equipment might not survive. In our last episode (297) we shared the hour before the tumult began. Now in episode 298, we're sharing a 92 minute segment of what it sounded like to be within the uninhabited forest as the storm passed directly overhead*. When we were in the woodland looking for a good spot for the mics, the sky was pure blue and the sun was shining down brightly. Soft breezes flowed between the trees carrying scents of cow parsley and sweet smelling vegetation. A perfect early summer's day. As we tied the Lento box to the trunk of an ash tree we had no hint of the weather to come. Torrential rain. Constant rolling thunder. Many overhead lightning strikes. A deluged forest streaming with water but whose resident wildlife rapidly springs back into song. If you like the thrill of sudden shock thunderclaps this is probably the episode for you but as a general note to all listeners please be aware there are some extremely loud and sudden thunderclaps as well as various other sound quality glitches. This is definitely NOT sleep safe. Please treat this episode as being a sound witness to extreme weather conditions in a remote rural woodland. It's also an opportunity to hear how wildlife sounds change during and after storm conditions. * This episode contains some shock thunderclaps (most intense at 50m 22s). The soundscape integrity is temporarily degraded when the mics overload. There is also a physical problem with the box itself, a 30 minute long period where the torrential rain gathers high up in the tree and begins to stream down the trunk some of which drips on top of the box itself. The dripping does eventually ease off and the forest returns with all its deluged wateriness back to rich sonorous song. ** For obvious reasons we don't have a photo of the storm in the forest. The image is from the same storm as it headed towards the area where the box was recording.

A tribal nation is one step closer to switching on a large solar project in southwestern Minnesota. The Upper Sioux Community installed rows of solar panels to power its casino in 2024.
