On today's show...

South Dakota experiences two to three earthquakes a year. If that’s news to you, that’s probably because they’re easy to miss.

We explore the causes behind these occasional quakes with Tim Cowman, state geologist at the South Dakota Geological Survey.

U.S. Sen. Mike Rounds brings us a recap of what he considers the successes and challenges of 2023.

We explore what it means to be a foster family with Kristi Woolsey and Jenn Eekhoff. Woolsey is the associate director of South Dakota Kids Belong, and Jenn Eekhoff is the state WRAP director. Both women have opened their homes to foster kids.

Learn more about fostering in South Dakota.

Kevin Woster introduces us to his 82-year-old friend with an interesting heart health routine. It involves spending time in nature with a chainsaw. Read his full blog.

Plus, SDPB's Evan Walton brings us the story of a bed and breakfast where history is a built-in amenity.
