This week on Yonder Radio, we start out with a story from KFF Health News about the ongoing rollout of the Rural Health Transformation Program. Reporter Sarah Jane Tribble explains how large companies are well-positioned to benefit, as states scramble to meet deadlines for administering the funds.

Then, we head to rural Nebraska to learn about the social benefits of livestock sale barns. And the Ag and Water Desk reports on corn belt farmers who are banding together to create regenerative farming practices.

Next, Whitney Kimball Coe interviews Reverend Claire Brown about southern rural churches that are welcoming LGBTQ+ members. Also, Frankie Felegy takes us on a midwestern punk rock odyssey to Minot, North Dakota.

Our featured musician is Trevor McKenzie, an old-time singer, storyteller, and multi-instrumentalist out of Boone, North Carolina.

Tune in for all that, and more, on this week’s episode of Yonder Radio.
