Hope & Heart & Home On The Range
"Hope & Heart & Home On The Range" looks at the joy and the humor of life in North Dakota and the Upper Midwest. As we turn to the history that we share, we discover newfound connections between ourselves and the past, connections which both humble us and raise us up, and which sometimes cause us to laugh at ourselves. Looking at the present, we probe current issues by asking, "What does it mean to be human?' and "How do we better serve others and the truth?" With sometimes self-deprecating humor, we seek to lift up others and to find a reason to hope.

Episode 2
Part 1 of Episode 2 looks at the recent discovery that the Magnetic North Pole, which has always drifted slowly, is now picking up speed. We also look at some interesting facts about the geographic North and South Poles.
In Part 2, we hear about Lena's blizzard-delayed train trip from Minnesota, during which she meets Pedro and Ming Hua and their wives, who are on their way to Williston because of ticket agent errors. Those errors prompt Lena to become an English tutor, and leads to temporary houseguests and lifelong friends.
Part 3 continues an examination of the NFL protest, noting that it engages in a particular error: "The Westboro Playbook."
