Podcasts about rural americans

Hello!Today, we talk about the rural vote and the positioning of Tim Walz as the rural whisperer. Will it work? Is there such a thing as a “rural identity” that might look at Walz and gravitate towards him? What's the thinking behind all that? To help us through it, we talked to Paolo Cremidis, the organizer of the recent Rural Americans for Harris Zoom call and the executive director of the Outrun coalition. Topics covered: Ice skating rinks turned into giant Fiji water bottles, running back Obama, the Sims, how the culture warriors of the right misunderstand rural voters and what rural voters actually want.

Schaller is a professor of political science at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Waldman is a journalist and author whose writing has appeared in numerous publications, including MSNBC. Their new book is White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy (Random House, 2024).Why is Mingo County, West Virginia important? How has the decline of political parties shaped America's present rural-urban divide? What is rural America? Do rural white Americans all think the same thing? Are rural Americans unique in their frustration with the federal government? Or are people from all walks of life frustrated with their government?

Rural Americans are dying from preventable disease at a higher rate than their urban counterparts. That's according to federal health officials.

Rural Americans have higher rates of depression, and farmers are 3.5 times more likely to die by suicide than the general population, according to the National Rural Health Association.

In this compelling episode of The Hot Dish, we're dishing out a hearty serving of insight into the pulse of America's rural heartland, exploring perspectives on politics, addiction, and the essence of community.Join us as Lisa and Bill Bright share their personal narrative of tragedy and triumph. Their story of losing a son to drug addiction and their dedication through the Will Bright Foundation is a poignant reminder of the shadow cast by addiction in rural spaces and the critical need for communal support and legislative advocacy, especially against the backdrop of a growing fentanyl crisis.The conversation turns to the election year as hosts Heidi and Joel Heitkamp provide a rich backdrop for a conversation as real as the soil itself. As we navigate the upcoming election, Heidi reveals how crucial rural America is and praises the timeless role of rural radio in stitching together the fabric of these communities.Our guest, Isaac Wright, from the Rural Voter Institute, brings an unfiltered look at the experiences shaping rural conversations. Isaac delves into his motivations behind the institute, emphasizing the dire need for candid discourse and an authentic understanding of rural voters. Together with Joel, they dissect the economic and societal threats looming over small towns and candidly discuss the daunting wage gap that threatens to undermine the spirit of rural neighborhoods. Isaac's reflection on the deep-seated fear of school consolidation reveals the generational impact such events have on local sentiment.Confronting the challenges of political branding, Isaac highlights how the attachment of the Democratic label can unfavorably sway rural support, shedding light on a study underscoring the delicate interplay between rural identity and political affiliation.Throughout the dialogue, Joel and Isaac's shared passion for hunting emerges as a touchstone for discussing the nuanced topic of gun ownership and its political implications. Isaac's focus on integrating genuine faith and moral grounds in political decision-making underscores the complexity of rural America's value system.Listeners will also glean fresh perspectives on rural radio's role in the political landscape. As Heidi and Joel endorse the medium's significance, they invite you to tune in to rural voices and consider radio a conduit for understanding, far beyond costly focus groups.Finally, the hosts remind us that The Hot Dish and the One Country Project are like comfort food for middle America, a place to connect and reflect. So, as we wrap up this savory episode, we encourage our listeners to stay engaged, visit the One Country Project's website, and share your thoughts with us by emailing podcast@onecountryproject.org. All in all, this episode is a full meal, delivering sustenance for thought and fuel for action in rural America.

Eric and ConservativeAnt bring you up to speed on yet another cyberattack, this time causing outages on social media platforms while the country has it's biggest day in the election cycle yet-- Super Tuesday. The decay of western society continues as murder rates are at a 30 year high. Which is the greater threat to the republic-- so called "Christian Nationalists" or Rural Americans? Big Left hates them both. Meanwhile you might forget that Whoopi Goldberg was alive but she keeps herself in the news cycle with malignant stupidity, now calling for complete political persecution. Just like in mother Russia, which is what they all secretly want anyway. Bill Maher-- that whackadoo who occasionally makes a lot of sense--- square off against Dr. Phil about family values-- what are they good for? If you are a single atheist, are you the new normal?  Try to get informed without getting depressed, that's where we come in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The widening gulf between rural and urban America is becoming the most serious political divide of our day. Support for Democrats, up and down the ballot, has plummeted throughout the countryside, and the entire governing system is threatened by one-party dominance. After Donald Trump's surprising victories throughout rural America, pundits and journalists went searching for answers, popping into roadside diners and opining from afar. Rural Americans are supposedly bigots, culturally backwards, lazy, scared of the future, and radical. But is it that simple? Is the country splintering between two very different Americas--one rural, one urban?  This pathbreaking book pinpoints forces behind the rise of the "rural voter"--a new political identity that combines a deeply felt sense of place with an increasingly nationalized set of concerns. Combining a historical perspective with the largest-ever national survey of rural voters, Nicholas F. Jacobs and Daniel M. Shea uncover how this overwhelmingly crucial voting bloc emerged and how it has roiled American politics. They show how perceptions of economic and social change, racial anxieties, and a traditional way of life under assault have converged into a belief in rural uniqueness and separateness. Rural America believes it rises and falls together, and that the Democratic Party stands in the way. An unparalleled exploration of rural partisanship, this book offers a timely warning that the chasm separating urban and rural Americans cannot be papered over with policies or rhetoric. Instead, The Rural Voter: The Politics of Place and the Disuniting of America (Columbia University Press, 2023) demonstrates, this division strikes at the heart of enduring conflicts over American identity.

Rural Americans experience higher rates of depression and suicide than people who live in the city, but they are less likely to have access to mental health care services. Add to that the social isolation that can come from living in remote areas, and the still taboo nature of mental health struggles in small towns, and you've got a recipe for desolation.That's why MPR News host Kerri Miller tackled the topic as part of her Rural Voice series. She moderated a town hall earlier this month in Little Falls, Minn., where community members discussed the realities of disconnection, post-pandemic, and how social isolation puts everyone at risk.But they also brainstormed ways to fight it. How can therapists, doctors and volunteers become more culturally competent, so mental health struggles don't go unaddressed? What can Minnesota do to make mental health care more accessible to rural communities? Are there particular programs that are effective with populations who are experiencing high rates of depression and anxiety right now, like seniors and teens? This is part three in a four-part series featuring conversations from the Rural Voice project — a series of town halls hosted by Miller in communities across the Upper Midwest about the rewards and challenges of making a home in rural America. The first discussion, hosted in New Ulm, Minn., focused on how to support rural entrepreneurship. The second, from Two Harbors, Minn., discussed the urgent need for affordable housing in small towns.

How are rural people feeling about the future? What are they concerned about? What do they value? Pollster Celinda Lake talks with Center for Rural Strategies President Dee Davis about the findings of a soon-to-be-released poll that explores what's on the minds of rural voters in 2023. "We really asked questions to get beyond the surface, and we looked in-depth at concerns and values and then support for policies," Lake says. "And what I loved about it was that the poll was really defying a lot of conventional wisdom."   Find the video, interview highlights, and transcript at https://www.ruralassembly.org. About the guest Celinda Lake is a pollster and political strategist who is considered one of the nation's foremost experts on electing women candidates and on framing issues to women voters. President of the polling firm Lake Research Partners, Lake grew up on a ranch in rural Montana. American Politics calls Celinda a "super-strategist or, better yet, the Godmother," and Working Woman says she is "arguably the most influential woman in her field." 

More and more conservative Americans in rural towns think US aid to Ukraine would be better spent elsewhere and the GOP presidential candidates are taking notice.

Colorado Commissioner and Republican candidate for Colorado's 8th District, Scott James says that the corporate music industry going after Jason Aldean's “Try that in a Small Town” are attacking the lives of everyday AmericansSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The woke cancel culture mob has failed yet again! If you want to guarantee a surge in support for whatever you're doing, get canceled by the woke mob, and you will skyrocket to success because patriots across the nation are rising up and they've got your back!     Highlights:  "Jason Aldean's song, ‘Try That in a Small Town' has rocketed to the number one song on iTunes after CMT, the feckless Country Music Television channel, banned it for offending the woke sentiments of audiences that don't even listen to country music!'" “The song, is a very bold and effective critique of the woke left's 2020 race riots, the fiery but mostly peaceful race riots that inflicted over $2 billion dollars in damages across the nation. It makes no apologies in affirming that that kind of violence and mayhem will NEVER be allowed in the heart of Americana. Rural Americans will defend themselves if faced with the same leftist political violence and chaos that has plagued our decaying and decrepit urban cities.” “The gatekeepers of all things corporate woke are quickly and painfully learning that they're no longer in charge! Just ask Bud Light, Target, Disney, Netflix, Fox News, CNN! They're no longer in charge!” “The Federalist has a great piece out on the real reason the woke hate this song, and it's obviously got nothing to do with racism or lynching or anything like that, those are just cosmetic dog whistles for something far deeper that the woke opposes and hates! In the end, the article argues that the woke hate traditional conservative rural values. And they hate them because they see them as a threat to the world that the woke envision”      Timestamps:   [02:40] Patriots got Jason Aldean's back [04:26] Woke Inc. gets triggered by Jason Aldean's song  [06:31] The real reason why the ‘Woke' hates the song [07:46] Woke values centered on victimhood   Resources:  The Courageous Patriot Community is inviting YOU!

Does this small-state bias in the federal government equate to overrepresentation of rural interests? Does it translate to policies that help rural areas thrive? Are communities in small or rural states actually thriving? Do people in those communities feel like they’re thriving? Or does “rural resentment” account for minority rule at the federal level?

A bright future for the nation depends on the health and prosperity of rural America, and unfortunately, we are at a moment in time where life is not ideal in the rural heartland.  Although most rural Americans are generally satisfied with the overall quality of life and see their communities as safe, we are reaching a crisis when it comes to financial insecurity, trouble accessing affordable, high quality health care, a lack of high-speed internet access, housing problems, and isolation/loneliness. When it comes to health care, even though most rural Americans have health insurance, about one-quarter say they lack adequate health care access, as they have not been able to get the care they needed at some point in the past few years. Consequently, potentially preventable deaths from the five leading causes are consistently higher in rural counties, especially with heart disease.  (Nearly half of deaths from heart disease in rural counties are preventable, compared with 18% in large metropolitan areas.)  All of this has culminated into a mistrust of the traditional, fee-for-service dominated healthcare system and created a “shadow population” of underserved minorities and the socially isolated who are dealing with significant cardiovascular metabolic disease. The Arkansas Lincoln Project is an important population health program focused on improving cardiovascular health in highly underserved, under-resourced areas of the Arkansas Delta Region where economic and health disparities have life altering consequences for rural residents.  Joining us this week, we have two population health leaders sharing their insights about their work in deploying community-based cardiovascular health interventions led by community health workers. Chip Purcell is the director of cardiology research at the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences and the principal investigator of the Arkansas Lincoln Project.  Joining him is Dr. Jessica Barnes, the co-founder and CEO of 20Lighter, LLC – an award winning cardiometabolic health program, delivering dramatic reductions in inflammation and visceral fat.  Together they are winning the “Race to Value” by fighting cardiovascular metabolic disease in the Arkansas Delta, the worst region in the nation for healthcare quality and population health outcomes.

Brianna Howard says she never thought she would run for public office, but when no one else was on the ballot for mayor in her hometown of Mount Jewett, Pennsylvania, she rose to the challenge. Howard ran as a write-in candidate, won, and will serve as mayor of the town for the next four years, beginning in January. Mount Jewett, located about 140 miles north of Pittsburgh, has a population of fewer than 1,000 people."Rural Americans are, in a lot of ways, at a disadvantage, just because of their location and the resources that are available to rural Americans," Howard says.The mayor-elect says she plans to give Mount Jewett "my all for the next four years, really trying to serve my community in any way that I can, small or large."Howard joins the “Problematic Women” podcast to explain her decision to run for mayor and why young, conservative women should feel empowered to be leaders in their communities.

And this impacts the ongoing hesitancy campaigns and minimizes participation at our ongoing vaccination events.""The thing about it is a vaccine that's here to help us. Just like all the other vaccines, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, everything is here to help us. So it is something that's not prevent you from getting COVID but it would help your body to fight against it, and we emphasize the importance to them over and over again and just tell them that you can't listen to the media because a lot of times the people on these different social media platforms."Social Media Links:Terrence Shirleyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/terrence-shirley-47837530https://chcams.org/staff/

Shawn & Randy talk with James L. about what life was like to grow up as a gay man in rural America hailing from a town of just 645 people. James is a gay man that is 22 years old and a college student. James also talks about what it's like to be a Gay Christian and go to church and what his point of view is on that subject. I'm sure many Rural Americans will not listen to this episode but I encourage that you do, so maybe you have an understanding of what's going on versus someone telling you how to think or feel about a subject. James let's people in a world that most people don't understand, but Shawn & Randy are willing to ask taboo question's to a gay man in rural America and also what we can do to help understand each other. Shawn and Randy hope only the best for everyone and hope people will listen and come together on such taboo topics, as this so people have a better understanding of what's really going on versus someone telling you how it is. Shawn and Randy ask the source and hope everyone get's educated and maybe understands where the gay community is coming from and we all end up as Americans and on the same side. The best thing we can hope for is that people come together with an open mind and are willing to hear everyone's point of view in our rural America. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shawn-thompson59/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shawn-thompson59/support

What do rural Americans say are the biggest problems in their local communities? A new poll finds that drug/opioid abuse and economic concerns are the top challenges. When it comes to drug addiction and abuse, a majority of rural Americans say opioid addiction is a serious problem in their community. On economic issues, rural Americans largely hold negative views of their local economy, but nearly one-third have seen economic progress in recent years. What may help? A majority of rural Americans believe outside help will be necessary to solve major community problems in the future, and many believe government will play an important role. Convened shortly before National Rural Health Day and after the nation's midterm elections, a panel of experts explored the public health and policy implications of these findings within the broader context of life in rural America. This Forum event was presented jointly with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and NPR on November 9, 2018. Watch the entire series: https://theforum.sph.harvard.edu/

Back in the early 1930s, farmers couldn't get wired. The big-city electric utilities claimed that delivering power to customers spread out in rural areas wasn't profitable. So eventually the locals rolled up their sleeves and did it themselves. They formed electric co-ops and strung their own damn wires, aided by cheap federal loans. Today there are nearly 900 rural co-ops still providing their communities with electricity.

FCC draft report says wireless broadband not a full substitute for wired  FCC Chairman Ajit Pai reneged on previous statements in which he suggested that the FCC would consider mobile broadband to be a full substitute for wired broadband. Back in 2014, the Obama era FCC under Chairman Tom Wheeler raised the definition of what is to be considered high speed broadband from 4 Mbps down and 1Mbps up to 25Mbps down and 3 Mbps up.  But last August, the FCC proposed 10 Mbps up and 1Mbps down for mobile broadband as an adequate substitute for wired broadband. Thankfully, in a reversal last week, Pai circulated a draft report stating that he would keep the current broadband definition intact. The Open Meeting is scheduled for January 30th.
