Long Time Gone

Long Time Gone brings the history of southeastern Colorado back to life—one story at a time. From the people who built our towns and worked the land to the events, places and forgotten moments that shaped the High Plains, we dig beyond the dates and names to find the human stories underneath. Based on the longtime Kiowa County Independent history feature, the Long Time Gone podcast explores local history, regional legends, remarkable lives and pieces of the past that deserve to be remembered. Because history isn’t only something that happened somewhere else. It happened right here—on these streets, across these fields, and among the families who called this place home. Some are long gone. Their stories don’t have to be. kcinews.substack.com
