We made it to the end of our 5th Season!  We started the season with Jamie Church, who’s been on the show so many times I almost consider he a co-host.  Then we ran up to Denver to shoot our next episode with D.D. Seaton – a musician, artist, and chef.  We featured...

We are spoiled here in Farmington.  Many of us, myself included, spent a good deal of time in Chokecherry Canyon when we were kids – some of us still do!  We might have had an ATV or a dirt bike and crawled all over the place out there.  We might have just took our...

This episode will be a little different because my guest this time isn’t a person – it’s a resource. Back in 2012, I made a purchase.  At the time, all of my friends owned 4-wheelers, and I grew up riding a friend’s 4-wheeler in Chokecherry Canyon.  When my friends...

Sometimes you meet someone who loves what they do.  Then, sometimes you meet somebody who loves what they do so much that it just bubbles out of them all over the place. That’s Cathryn Abeyta.  She is the Executive Director for San Juan United Way . . . and she is a...

You know how you meet somebody, and after listening to their story, think to yourself . . . how is it possible that I’ve gone this long without knowing this person? That’s Sallyanne Bachman.  There are three things that become crystal clear when you meet Sallyanne . ....

The past year has been pretty stressful.  We’re still dealing with a pandemic and related lockdowns.  And right in the middle of all this, we had an incredibly divisive election and its related fallout. Despite the stress, there were, and are, several stars shining...

Do you remember when you were a kid and your parents were convinced that your generation would be the end of us all?  I remember those days.  Well, guess what . . . adults have believed this for hundreds of years.  Absolutely convinced that young people would be the...
