I stumbled across this podcast several years ago and it has become a favorite. Megan Torgerson grew up on a farm/ranch in rural Montana. She has spent the past few years documenting the issues, people, history and unique characteristics of the rural west. She brings to me voices I would never hear and highlights the difficulties of economic sustainability. This is a nuanced and balanced podcast that takes you into communities.

I started listening to Megan’s podcast earlier this year, and I was INSTANTLY hooked on the premise! I was born and raised in rural MT and I have heard (and said) plenty of “Why would you move here?” Or “Why do you want to stay, there’s nothing around”; Of course, it is only when I moved to a bigger city that I realized how much I missed the close relationships and sense of belonging that I felt in my hometown! Listening to this podcast reminds me of home, and I am thankful for that—Give the Pod... more
