An American tragedy
Finally a narrative podcast about rural America told by someone who has chosen to live there and understands the nuances of the subject. Too often it seems major media companies descend on small towns and as soon as they’re off the plane they have to belittle the natives who must be a bunch of rubes to live in these backwater places. No such conceits here as the storyteller lets us know the cattle business is big business and there are complex financial systems at play. The narrator doesn’t speak in condescending tones but clearly inhabits this same world. That’s not to say she’s uncritical of her subject but she’s comfortable talking center pivot irrigation and futures markets and knows this isn’t some hayseed operation but a tragedy at a cattle operation this size has the ability to affect your combo meal at Wendy’s. Highly recommended.

The captivating narration and the fantastic original music makes this podcast a classic. Very well done. Great story with serious implications for all of us. Music is just fantastic. How can I get a copy of the soundtrack ??? :)
