ATTACK THE FACTS
History buff Collis and conspiracy nut Jack are fighting each other with "facts" in an effort to convince the other that they've got it all wrong. They'll debate the details of WW1, trash talk the Mothman, and attack the facts surrounding the Salem Witch Trials. If you've ever been stuck in a car with two nerds raging at each other about Napolean and lizard people, then you have been conditioned to listen to this podcast!
YONDER LIES: UNPACKING THE MYTHS OF JACKSON HOLE
Few places have come to symbolize the rapidly-changing American West quite like the valley of Jackson Hole, Wyoming—grizzlies still graze by the roadside, elk eat farm-raised grass, and, all the while, service workers, ranchers, ski bums, and billionaires also jostle to find their piece of paradise. For millennia, the human and non-human residents of Jackson Hole have co-existed in a complex struggle for the good life. But what is the state of this balance these days? And how have these relationships been shaped by recent changes in resources, demographics, and priorities of our communities? Yonder Lies, a new podcast from KHOL 89.1 and Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative Researchers, is your invitation to dive into the nitty-gritty of Jackson Hole. Hosted by writers and researchers Hannah Habermann and Jesse Bryant, Yonder Lies shares intimate stories of the people, conflicts, and institutions that have made this place what it is today. Subscribe now to join us, as we help sort fact from fiction and wonder what the future may hold for this beloved American landscape.
MATERIAL MEMORY
We live in the age of information, but how often do we think about what has been lost—or nearly lost? From memories left on discarded machines to the voices of ancestors trapped on obsolete media, we are losing parts of human history each day. In theme-based seasons, Material Memory explores the effects of our changing environment—such as digital technologies, the climate crisis, or global human displacement—on our ability to access the record of our shared humanity, and the critical role that libraries, archives, museums, and other public institutions play in keeping cultural memory alive.
THE WOODEN BLOCK LABYRINTH PODCAST
A show about sharing the things that fascinated us in our youth. From when we played with wooden blocks to when we found ourselves becoming grown-ups, here are the movies, shows, songs, books, toys, places, and even people who helped build the labyrinth of our lives.
