As Israel and Hamas take steps toward ending a two-year war, we hear from people in Jackson who are celebrating, mourning and wondering what's next. Novelist Tea Obrecht and poet Matt Daly share their thoughts on writing in the age of AI and autogeneration.

  • ‘Do you have a family?’
    Oct 3 2025

    A novel workforce housing project just outside Jackson is slated for construction next spring on leased land within the Bridger-Teton National Forest. We hear from one of the project’s leaders at a time when public land and housing are at the forefront of national land use debates. A local legend, Jay Pistono, recently died at 67. We remember the man who preserved skiing on Teton Pass. Plus, we get a taste of how Jackson’s Center for the Arts is becoming more accessible to Spanish-first speakers. And we listen to a conversation between Jackson theatre professional Andy Munz and writer Claudia Mauro on being queer in Wyoming.

    Featuring music from Aaron Davis @aarondavisongs.
