I’ve been thinking about libraries. Even some of the tiniest of towns on the high plains have them. Those libraries may be located in back rooms of city offices, converted church basements, defunct stores, or even former homes. No matter how humble the venue, these places can serve a variety of community purposes.

Living in Texas where there is lots of free ranging wild pork, Luke has talked and written a lot about just how tasty wild pork can be.

Hello, Radio Readers! I’m Jane Holwerda from Dodge City KS. We’ve been talking about Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. This 19th century American novel is the second in our Fall Book Read: “Rivers and Meandering Meanings.” Set loosely before the Civil War, the central characters are Huckleberry Finn, an11-yr old orphan from what we might call the wrong side of the tracks, and a 30-something fugitive slave. Together, Huck and Jim attempt to flee the laws and mores that restrain them by rafting the Mississippi River.

Join Luke this week as he shares and easy camp recipe for bread that can be cooked on the top of the stove in a cast iron skillet or Dutch Kettle with lid.

Today's outdoors show is all about fish, eating fish to be more exact.

Hi, I am Marco Macias, a history teacher here at Fort Hays State University. Thank you for tuning in, and welcome to a BookByte of The Line Becomes a River: Dispatches from the Border, a fascinating narrative from Francisco Cantu. In the book, he describes his experiences growing up on the border and then pursuing a career in border patrol for several years. Traversing through the desert, he learns to understand the inhumanity of forcing immigrants across the desert and returns to civilian life. Afterward, he discovers the particularities of family separation as an undocumented friend visits his dying mother and can’t come back after decades of living in the United States.

I had just settled into a steaming bath for my weekly 15 minutes of peace. Joel had already showered and was down having his midnight snack, a ritual he must maintain so he doesn’t get too skinny.
