"Man Camp Dialogues" ~ Lynn Helms on New Refineries ~ Souris River Board ~ The TED Radio Hour

The Man Camp Dialogues is a series of free public forums about the North Dakota Man Camp Project, a two-year study on the temporary housing systems that have sprung up throughout western North Dakota. Here to tell us about these upcoming events in the state are William Caraher, UND History Department, and NDSU historian Tom Isern. ~~~ Last Thursday, as part of Public Media Day at the Capitol, we visited with Lynn Helms, director for the Department of Natural Resources. Due to time constraints we weren’t able to air the entire conversation, so we continue today with his observations about the state’s refining capacity. ~~~ Jim Olson, news director at KXMC in Minot, reports on the recent International Souris River Board meeting in Winnipeg. ~~~ NPR’s Guy Raz joins us to preview the new series of the TED Radio Hour, which starts Sunday at noon, here on Prairie Public.
