Thursday, May 20, 2021 - Tom Isern, NDSU distinguished professor of history, joins us to discuss the upcoming One-Book One ND event, which will feature his book, Pacing Dakota. The book is a collection of essays from his Plains Folk series heard on Main Street. That series has now reached 836 episodes! Tom will also tell us about his pandemic-inspired “Willow Creek Folk School,” a weekly online event that recently marked its one-year anniversary. ~~~ Another writer who has been featured as part of One Book One ND is Deb Marquart. We share an essay from her recent nonfiction writing titled “Odessa.” ~~~ Sue Balcom is here for another episode of “Main Street Eats.” Today she discusses carrots.
