On today's In the Moment...

Explore the topics of love, literature and a former president's losses on a Valentine's Day edition of In the Moment.

Meeting new people can be hard, especially if you're in a small town with a smaller dating pool. Have you considered expanding your search for "the one" to the digital realm? We talk with Katy Coduto, dating app researcher, about making a romantic connection online.

Ellen Koester and Ari Jungemann are new producers on the In the Moment. They step out of the booth to share details about a blind date they went on courtesy of Siouxland Libraries.

Debra Johnston, M.D., shares tips on how to get a healthy smile your significant other will love. She talks oral health ahead of her upcoming On Call with the Prairie Doc episode.

Theodore Roosevelt's world was rocked on Valentine's Day in 1884. A double tragedy changed the course of the future president's life and sent him deep into what was then the Dakota Territory.

Historian Duane Jundt discusses Roosevelt's time in the Dakotas and his famous 1903 visit to Sioux Falls. Jundt wrote the chapter on that visit for the anthology "City of Hustle," which is edited by Patrick Hicks and Jon Lauck.
