In the Moment

A world of wonder with Ada Limón

On today's show...

We look at Hollywood's depiction of extreme weather and then fact-check it with an expert.

Todd Heitkamp, meteorologist in charge at the National Weather Service, shares how to stay safe this tornado season and why you shouldn't do what Bill Paxton does in "Twister."

Arlene Brandt-Jenson, president of Minnehaha Master Gardeners, discusses how to prepare your gardens for extreme weather. We talk about gardening in a time of climate change.

After six years of leadership, President Jim Rankin is retiring from South Dakota Mines. We revisit our conversation with him two months into his presidency and look back at his legacy in his final months.

The United States Poet Laureate Ada Limón takes us into "You Are Here," her new poetry anthology and signature project as laureate. We talk about penning nature poems for the modern era.

Plus, she reads her poem "Obedience."
