New musical sets rural South Dakotan stories to music

On today's show...

SDPB’s Lee Strubinger takes us below the Earth’s surface to dig into a new possible renewable energy source. He brings us his interview with Kevin Rosso, a geochemist at the Sanford Underground Research Facility.

Read more about Strubinger's reporting on the Center for Understanding Subsurface Signals and Permeability (CUSSP).

We return to one of the quirkiest interviews of the week. Travis Kowalski, Ph.D., uncovers the history of ritualistic funerals and book burnings held by college math students. Listen to the full conversation.

Ron Brownotter started with a small buffalo herd and now owns and manages the largest Native American-owned buffalo ranch in the country.

You may have heard his voice on "In the Moment's" full episode on the reintroduction of buffalo to South Dakota. We bring you more of his interview today.

We talk with poet and musician Christopher Vondracek about his latest production, "Rattlesnake Summer: The Musical," and the magic of telling rural stories.

Plus, our musical guides bring us their top songs of 2023 on the latest episode of Fresh Tracks.
