  • Making Jackson Home
    May 27 2022

    Four days a week, Roney de la Cruz drives a bus of mostly Latino students to a bilingual pre-school.

In this episode, KHOL’s Kyle Mackie digs into the local history of immigration and shares stories of how Latino immigrants and first-generation residents are putting down roots and making Jackson home.

    This episode was made in collaboration with Stio, stewards of the mountain life. It was reported and produced by Kyle Mackie, with additional reporting by Natalie Schachar and Alicia Unger. KHOL’s Will Walkey and Emily Cohen provided editorial and production support. The episode contained original music scoring by Sheena and Jacob Ferguson.

  • Leading the Change
    May 13 2022

    At first glance, Wyoming life may seem all about powder and pitches, guns and gear. It’s home to North America’s apex predators, some of the steepest mountains in the Rockies and lots of opportunities for an adrenaline rush. So, it may come as little surprise that Wyoming’s male-to-female ratio is the second-highest in the U.S., after only Alaska. But Wyoming’s women have been breaking boundaries ever since the state was the first to grant women the right to vote in 1869. In this episode, KHOL’s Emily Cohen speaks to contemporary pioneering women, including the first woman on the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort ski patrol and Wyoming's first Native American woman to run for national office about how they’ve pushed boundaries in this landscape of extremes.
