Exploring the Black Hills of 1874 & 2023

On today's show...

Parts of the state are nearing the end of a multi-day heat wave. We ask Todd Heitkamp, meteorologist-in-charge at the National Weather Service Sioux Falls, if the temperatures broke any records.

We have a delightful conversation with a leading advocate and policymaker for sustainable rural health care. Tom Dean, M.D., discusses his rural medical roots and his upcoming induction into the South Dakota Hall of Fame.

"Exploring with Custer: The 1874 Black Hills Expedition" is now in its fourth edition, complete with new images and new details. Paul Horsted, one of its authors, gives us a tour of the Black Hills then and now.

Let's search the sandhills of Nebraska for an old reptilian friend. Kevin Woster leads the chase.

Plus, what's prettier than a sunrise? How about a hot air balloon launch at sunrise in Hot Springs, South Dakota?

Olivia Mears, executive director of the Hot Spring Chamber of Commerce, previews the Fall River Hot Air Balloon Festival.
