Common Ground: A Prairie Podcast is hosted by Dr. Josh Anderson, a former American literature professor who returned home to rural ND to help lead local conservation efforts. Often considered “flyover country,” North Dakota is the least visited state in the nation. But thanks to a generous grant from the North Dakota Natural Resources Trust, you can experience this rich and rugged landscape. Josh travels to the pastures, grasslands, and wetlands to talk to Pulitzer Prize winning journalists, award-winning artists, soil health experts, conservation organizations, and local farmers & ranchers.

Episode 1 - Always in Season with Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Mike Jacobs

In Episode 1, we talk with Mike Jacobs, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and avid birder, whose column "Always in Season" has delighted readers and bird lovers in the Great Plains for over 40 years.

We met up with Mike at Kelly's Slough National Wildlife Refuge, which shares ground, water, and air space with the Grand Forks Air Force Base and supports migratory waterfowl and shore birds in North Dakota.

Listen to the episode to hear Mike compose a "prairie symphony" with birdsong. Listen to what happens when our conversation is interrupted by a mating pair of bald eagles. And share the episode with all your friends who will be inspired by Mike's infectious passion for the birds and landscapes of the northern Great Plains.

This podcast is supported by a generous grant from the North Dakota Natural Resources Trust. For more info or to contact us, check us out on the Common Ground: A Prairie Podcast YouTube channel and on our website at walshcounty1938.com
