On today's show...
From a foster home in Nebraska to reconnecting with his family on a South Dakota reservation to homelessness in California, Bert Malcom plots his personal and artistic journeys with us.
Malcom is a Black Hills poet and indie artist who's in the middle of reinventing himself.
He shares where his unique sound comes from and why you can only hear his "rough drafts" for a limited time. Plus, he performs live in SDPB's Rapid City studio (1:00 to 22:08).
Tom Dempster took his camera to the isles near the Arctic Circle to commune with Ole Rølvaag, his own heritage and the Northern Lights.
He discusses his connection to the author and how Rølvaag's lyrical writing resonates with him (22:08 to 38:47).
And SDPB's Lori Walsh and Ari Jungemann ask you to support public media.
