Ways To Subscribe

On today's show...

We look back on an eventful past few months for firefighters with state fire meteorologist Darren Clabo, Ph.D.

He unpacks how the weather impacted the quantity and intensity of the fires this summer and what you can do to prevent more fires this fall (1:00 to 7:33).

Xavier Pastrano is a Lincoln High School educator, author and artist who lives in Sioux Falls. He shares his path to publication for his first poetry anthology, how he got interested in Zentangle illustrations and the bravery of putting work into the hands of readers (7:34 to 47:15).

Plus, he reads two of his poems with us, including a perfect selection for spooky season.
