On today's In the Moment...

College students have a lot to learn inside of a classroom—but there's even more to learn outside of it.

We talk to Augustana University professors Patrick Hicks, Ph.D., and Will Swart, Ph.D., about their recent trip to Ireland. They led a gaggle of college students across the ocean for an immersive cultural and historical lesson. From the Good Friday Agreement to the Troubles to "Derry Girls," we discuss all things Ireland.

SDPB's Lee Strubinger has an update on the impacts already being felt by House Bill 1080 now that the bill is law.

The Tanka Fund's Trudy Ecoffey joins to talk about efforts to return bison to Native lands, lives and economies. The lumbering giant is making a comeback to the Great Plains.

We end the show with the music of The Rude Band. Its charter member brings us the story behind the tunes, as well as her personal story of stepping into the spotlight. Meet Grace Hansen.

Plus, a new Fresh Tracks episode previews music from Margo Price, John Cale and Black Belt Eagle Scout.
