Eliza Blue builds a 'Little Pasture on the Prairie'

On today's show...

A thick plume of mosquitoes has descended on the Sioux Falls area in the wake of flooding.

We talk to the South Dakota Department of Health about how the increase in bugs could lead to an uptick in the West Nile virus. Epidemiologist Anita Bharadwaja discusses how to prevent bites and illness.

For a decade, Eliza Blue has invited readers onto her western South Dakota ranch through her weekly newspaper column.

Her new book "Little Pasture on the Prairie" is a collection of essays on what delights her about rural life. She takes us into the pages of her book and performs live in SDPB's studio.

Plus, we hear the Fire Symphony. SDPB's Summer with the Symphony brings you Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 59 in A major performed by the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra.
