“I really want to love this podcast, but the editing is horrible in my opinion. I can’t hear anything but the host. All other audio is poor quality and just too quiet. Also long gaps between segments, I keep thinking what did they say?? Oh wait, is it over??
You guys asked for feedback, here’s it...”Read full review »

“Episode 6 of Season 6 brought me to tears. There is so much I don’t know. So much that other cultures can bring to us. I loved the little girl calling “Welcome Home!” To the buffalo. We all need to hear this, it helps us understand.”

“Wyoming Public Media - and Melodie Edwards in particular - always offers insightful, challenging ways to explore Wyoming’s western corner of the world. This series adds new depth and current texture to a complicated and, candidly, not honorable history. Simply amazing. A must listen podcast.”

“I’m enjoying listening to this podcast. Very sad story of how we “ white men” do horrible things to people not like us. Thought provoking for sure.”

“Instead of taking on tough subjects and focusing on how to make things better. All they look at is negatives. Leaves you feeling down and not hopeful. Even the into music is depressing. They have an opportunity to create hope. All they do is leave you depressed.”

“Unfortunately the first episode I listened to obsessed about homosexuals and women that write a about them. Then I went to the first eoidsodes and see “drag queen” in the title.
So if you’re a left wing woman you might like it. Otherwise..”

“I really like the stories. I just can’t take the propaganda thrown in. Why can’t anyone just tell a story without adding their political views. It is Public radio so I guess you have to do what you have to do to get ahead.”

“I enjoy most of these episodes. But where are the immediate and decisive anti-Biden episodes such as those from reactions to the 2016 election? Or are only conservatives and trump always contemptible?
Stick to facts and interesting stories of the west, not your left-only views.”

The acquisition of properties by ultra wealthy does raise numerous issues worthy of review. No easy answers but thought provoking. Some of the interview audio...”Read full review »

“I originally stumbled on this to get a sense of small town living as I consider where do I want to retire in a few years. Originally from Denver, and now in Phx., big city living no longer appeals to me. But holy cow- neither do these rural dust up small towns in Colorado or Wyoming. The basic...”Read full review »

“WPR tends to focus on Laramie and Yellowstone with a bit on Coal Country. I am really enjoying this series (season 2) as it’s telling a deeper story that speaks to so many rural towns throughout the west. So far it has been in-depth and thought provoking. It is a very interesting topic. Glad you...”Read full review »

“I really enjoy this series. The focus is on the voices of real people who do or have lived in the west. Also, the production style and tone is a bit dated, but in a good way, which is a nice change from most current podcasts that have a style that is quickly becoming cliché.”

“I used to enjoy the stories until this became a medium for the tribal reservation and LGBTG+/-#>~ whatever other flavor identity of the month. Why is Wyoming pushing this type of rhetoric and encouraging these types of stories to report on?”
