Yonder Lies: Unpacking the Myths of Jackson Hole
Few places have come to symbolize the rapidly-changing American West quite like the valley of Jackson Hole, Wyoming—grizzlies still graze by the roadside, elk eat farm-raised grass, and, all the while, service workers, ranchers, ski bums, and billionaires also jostle to find their piece of paradise. For millennia, the human and non-human residents of Jackson Hole have co-existed in a complex struggle for the good life. But what is the state of this balance these days? And how have these relationships been shaped by recent changes in resources, demographics, and priorities of our communities? Yonder Lies, a new podcast from KHOL 89.1 and Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative Researchers, is your invitation to dive into the nitty-gritty of Jackson Hole. Hosted by writers and researchers Hannah Habermann and Jesse Bryant, Yonder Lies shares intimate stories of the people, conflicts, and institutions that have made this place what it is today. Subscribe now to join us, as we help sort fact from fiction and wonder what the future may hold for this beloved American landscape.

Just listened to the piece on Tensleep- great writing, really interesting approach. I was so captivated. This is the news we need in the outdoors community. Also really enjoyed and appreciated the interview with Len Necefer. Keep it up, guys!

Modern Podcast Case Study
03/26/2020
Yonder Lies is a case study for not just the aspiring podcaster but also how podcasts can help meet the need in the absence of local journalism. Jackson is lucky in that it has comparatively robust journalistic scene, but Yonder Lies exercises the ability to deep dive into issues directly relevant to the denizens of Jackson Hole as it is not held back by the constraints of print. Kudos to Jesse and Hannah for pursuing this endeavor. Minor technical issues (more apparent in earlier episodes) aside, Yonder Lies is proof that if the concept and content is solid the podcast will deliver.
Good content, more editing

Great and relevant content. I appreciate that they cover varying perspectives on the topic of public land and conservation in the area, with particular attention paid to the native perspective that is often overlooked. One thing I wish would improve is that a few times they've played their music over guests talking, to a point that you can't even hear the guest (Len Necefer) or at inappropriate times where the music doesn't fit the tone and competes with the message (such as when discussing IMMW). A bit more editing would improve the listening experience.
