SD women working for good

On today's show...

Miss South Dakota is heading to the Miss America stage and bringing her advocacy for a South Dakota critter with her.

Joelle Simpson created the "Nurturing Nature" video series to show off the species that call the state home. Her first video focuses on the black-footed ferret, an animal once thought to be extinct (1:00 to 23:22).

We then meet another conservationist working in South Dakota and around the world. Stephanie Arne is heading to South Africa to work with rhinos and other species in 2025 (23:22 to 33:18).

She's inviting conservation-minded tourists along for the ride. Learn more about wildlife missions.

Plus, a Black Hills composer launches a new album that uplifts women in instrumental music. Nancy Williams takes listeners behind the scenes for "Live! and Unbound" and discusses her original, witchy creation for the album (33:18 to 49:05).
