Yonder Radio 6/11/26 (Podcast version, no breaks)

This week on Yonder Radio, we start off talking about a movement to grow water-conscious and delicious grains in Colorado’s San Luis Valley. Community organizations and businesses are partnering to put rye, and other crops that do well in dry climates, on the map for farmers, entrepreneurs, and consumers. Then, culture reporters Susannah Broun and Madelon Basil dissect the latest albums from Noah Kahan and Kacey Musgraves, two rural artists whose new music is all about leaving home, and coming back again. Daily Yonder contributor Nhatt Nichols takes us to coastal Washington, to learn about how local organizations are repopulating native Olympia oysters to repair the Salish Sea’s complex ecosystem. And Taylor Sisk introduces us to Yvette McDaniel, an opera singer and community arts advocate from South Carolina’s low country. We’ll hear music from Clover Lynn, a banjo picker who brings a gothic flair to traditional mountain music. Tune in to hear all that and more, on this week’s episode of Yonder Radio.

Yonder Radio 5/28/26 (Podcast version, no breaks)

This week on Yonder Radio, we start out talking to Julia Tilton about Sangamon County, Illinois, where the county board recently approved a major data center project even as a major regulatory bill aiming to address data centers is caught up in the state legislature. Then, we’re going on a road trip around the Great Lakes with Tim Marema and Liz McGeachy in their music-filled camper van, and celebrating the humanity of the roadside rest stop with columnist Claire Carlson. Then we move on to the dry farming movement, which helps farmers use less water for a more sustainable farming future. And finally, we’ll end up in a men’s shed, where older Iowans are building community, and crafts, over coffee and power tools. The musical guests this week are Larry & Joe, a duo that fuses Venezuelan and Appalachian folk music. Tune in for all that, and more, on this week’s episode of Yonder Radio.

Yonder Radio 5/14/26 (Podcast version, no breaks)

This week on Yonder Radio, we begin with a conversation with Jim Checkel, who grew up wanting to be a farmer in rural Minnesota, and ended up as the lead lab technologist for the Mayo Clinic. His experience and insights have helped shape rural medicine at one of the top medical institutions in the world. Then, we talk with actor Kiki Bush about filmmaking in rural Kansas, and her efforts to promote film tax credits, which could transform the kinds of stories that get told about her home state. Daily Yonder columnist Donna Kallner shares some wisdom about how rural communities can get younger generations involved in local leadership, and we travel back to 1920s Appalachia, the site of the world’s first cooperatively-owned coal mine. ICT takes us to Onchiota, New York, where 600 acres of land have been returned to indigenous ownership, and we have a laugh with comedian Eeland Stribbling, a very funny guy and avid Colorado outdoorsman. And our musical guest this week is the talented poet, producer, and musician shirlette ammons. Tune in for all that and more on Yonder Radio, rural conversations with national reach.
