It's a concern that will be explored in an upcoming "Summit on Behavioral Health in Energy Country" to be held in Dickinson. Joining us is Deb Nelson, administrator of the Vision West ND Consortium.

There’s a growing legal movement to grant rights for natural entities as we hear in a report from Harvest Public Media. ~~~ The Missouri River Bluegrass Festival is coming up! We get a preview from two of the organizers and performers, Jill Wiese and Juan Gelpi. ~~~ We also have another episode of Birdnote.
