Yonder Radio 7/23/16 (Podcast version, no breaks)

This week on Yonder Radio, we begin in Weiser, Idaho – a town battling a cat-astrophe. Reporter Astra Lincoln brings us the story of the rural town’s efforts to tackle the influx of hundreds of stray cats through a trap and release program.

Next, we’re heading to western North Carolina, where Anya Petrone Slepyan reports on Cherokee pottery traditions that have been practiced for nearly 3,000 years.

Then, Pulitzer Prize finalist Megan Kate Nelson tells us about her latest book, The Westerners: Myth and Belonging on the American Frontier. We continue our series on rural southern churches that are welcoming LGBTQ members, and get some advice on seeing the forest through the trees from Daily Yonder columnist Donna Kallner.

Finally, we commemorate four years since deadly flooding in Eastern Kentucky, with the story of some “drunk angels” who came by to help out.

And our featured musicians this week are the Gladson Family Band out of Hancock County Tennessee.

Tune in for all that, and more, on Yonder Radio.
