Tuesday, February 27 – A film made in western North Dakota is premiering on Wednesday. The Badlands Girl is a 20-minute short film from filmmaker and University of Mary theatre director Dan Bielinski. We’ll hear from him, and Gracie Burns, a student who worked on the film. ~~~ Allen “Jack” Kleinsasser is the author of a two-volume memoir of his life in the Dakotas. They’re a series of short essays, glimpses into life in the past. He has recorded a few of those essays for us, and today we hear “Winter Months.” ~~~ Tom Isern follows up on last week’s Plains Folk essay about the ransom of Fanny Kelly with “The Captivity of Fanny Kelly.” ~~~ From The Cutting Ed podcast, we learn about flex mod scheduling with Tom Schmidt, principal at Legacy High School in Bismarck.
