How To Do Everything: South Dakota edition

On today's show...

NPR's "How To Do Everything" podcast returns with new questions. Mike Danforth and Ian Chillag preview their season and share what makes a good "how-to" question.

We then turn to South Dakotans for answers to a few quintessential South Dakota questions.

Jack Scholl is a hat maker in Belle Fourche and owner of the Weather Hat Company. He coaches listeners on the proper way to don a cowboy hat.

Next, if you hear a fateful rattle and get a deadly snakebite, how do you survive it?

Jake Niedringhaus was bitten by a rattlesnake at age 13. He shares his story and his advice for avoiding these snakes. And Brook Eide, M.D., medical director of the Rapid City Hospital Emergency Department at Monument Health, dives into the treatment side of the question.

Plus, a bootmaker and a linguist have answers to "how to pull yourself up by your bootstraps."

Mark Schumacher from Wolsey, South Dakota, and University of South Dakota professor Prentiss Clark offer insight into (literal and metaphoric) resiliency.
