Black Hills State University invites community members back into the classroom this summer. The Joy of Learning events are happening now.

A few presenters join "In the Moment" to bring their lessons to listeners across the state.

Trish Jenkins and Jeremy Smith are the owners of Cycle Farm. They share how they became part of the local food system and why poetry books sometimes helped them more than books on farming (1:00 to 10:57).

Yun-Seok Choi, Ph.D., uses smoke detectors and glow sticks to describe his research into the biological importance of light (10:57 to 20:35).

Two paintings from different U.S. agricultural periods show a stark message. Jon Kilpenin, Ph.D., discusses finding environmental lessons in art (20:35 to 34:28).

And Amy Fuqua, Ph.D., unpacks the goals of the Joy of Learning series and what there is to love within 14 lines of poetry (34:28 to 41:28).

Plus, Steve Meeker asks, "Did your mom throw away your baseball cards?" and shares the history of sports cards (41:28 to 48:36).
