35:27 Share

Happy 2023! Stay tuned to hear from two Wyoming natives. Writer Rod Miller. Rod was born into a ranching family that has been in Wyoming since 1867. He is a well-known columnist for the Cowboy State Daily.  And Michael Lange from Riverton, musician, and Executive Director of the Wyoming Arts Council. Two different and intriguing perspectives on their life, work and living change in Wyoming.

They both have lived change in Wyoming. Their perspectives are diverse. They give us insight into the here and now as well as what do want or see as change in the state of Wyoming. 

“But we're powerless against that universal force and stasis, actually. When things don't change, they die and putrefy, decompose. So change is good. But by the same token, just changing for change's sake, I think is only accidentally constructive. It gets us out of a rut but thrusts us into an unknown situation that we may not be able to control.” -Rod Miller

“And as I talked about earlier, how the arts inside of education can really help students understand themselves, can really help students understand people who they have differing views with, and really help build the workforce, the 21st century workforce, around bringing creativity and critical thinking to the table.” -Michael Lange
