This week on Yonder Radio, we’re starting out with an update from reporter Julia Tilton about a proposed moratorium on building large-scale data centers in Maine. Then, we take a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to report on rural health care in West Texas. Daily Yonder reporter Madeline de Figueiredo walks us through innovative telehealth solutions in communities with limited access to broadband, and the powerful magic of your average rural librarian.

Then, we hear from travel writer-turned-culture critic Rolf Potts about big screen depictions of small towns, and why it matters that most Hollywood representations of Kansas aren’t actually filmed there. We head to Appalachia to learn about the time-honored tradition of grave sweeping, and talk to Paul Fennell, the creator of one of rural Colorado’s most exciting new music venues.

And throughout the episode we’ll hear music from Brigid and Johnny Reedy, a brother and sister keeping the western music tradition alive in Dillon, Montana. You’ll hear all that, and more, on this week’s episode of Yonder Radio.
