    Wolf piece
    Now that some weeks have gone by after the wolf incident broke in the media. This is the perfect time to provide this well balanced take on this subject. The incident had stirred up very strong feelings and the fall out has created threats , animosity, and more trauma. This piece paired with the Cj Box interview is very well put together. Thanks !

    Listened for a few years and the interviews are just not stringent they lean way out of the mainstream of wyomingites Madeline beck you did me in so long

    Another liberal mouthpiece.
    Thought that I might find one decent podcast regarding our great state, unfortunately yet again the Left continues to make inroads even in the most conservative of regions. Evident here with their not so unbiased selection of subject matter from crossdressing, to referring to abortion as a human right. Watch out to what media you consume as it’s dominated by shallow shortsighted self serving individuals with no concept as to what’s at stake.

    Wyoming spirit captured here
    LOVE that open spaces episodes are in podcast form. News, stories, important conversations, content with a distinctly Wyoming feel, there is nothing not to treasure about this show. Keeps me company on road trips or cold afternoons at home. Can’t get enough Open Spaces.

    News gone wrong.
    Yes I understand the state is changing, and yes I understand that people are changing, but this is purely liberal bias news. To put out content about state housing for illegal immigrants, regional popularity for the wealthy, gay or whatever sexual agendas, white people talking about Native American arts and welfare, and state geopolitical agendas just shows this NPR style network is motivated by everything this state has tried to keep from becoming. It is a very unfortunate reminder that there is almost nowhere left to escape to.

    Intriguing
    This podcast has been intriguing to me! There has been outstanding quality evidenced by the variety and relevance of the chosen topics. They are all nicely done!

    Valuable for Me
    As a Jamaican who grew up in Florida and who now lives in Georgia, Wyoming for me has only really been two things in my head: the state with the smallest population and the state that's last alphabetically. Also as a person who loves stories and loves listening to news of places not many people in my daily life think about, this podcast has been a wonderful diversion for me. It's more than a diversion, though. It's allowed me a little insight into the Wyoming mindset, to think about life there, and to understand (at least somewhat) minds that may differ (or be akin) to mine. I'm thankful this podcast exists, and because it does contributing even a little from my budget to keeping it going has become a priority for me.
