‘I Am Like Vibing The Shirt’

  • Summary

  • On this week’s episode: Host and KHOL Senior Reporter Dante Filpula Ankney introduces us to the station’s revival of One Small Step. In partnership with Storycorps, we’re hosting a series of conversations between candidates running for local office and a constituent they aim to represent —- that hold differing beliefs — finding coming ground. Tune into the first of the series between Wilson resident Kat Clauson and Republican candidate for county commissioner Melchor Moore, produced by Alyson Spery.

    We’ll hear about wildfires — like the Fish Creek fire that has burned thousands of acres —- and how even after the destruction and the devastation has passed — it can spur communities to come together. Lori Peak studies how communities come together during and after natural disasters and talks with KUNC’s Erin O’Toole. Peak is a sociologist and the director of the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

    And to close out this week’s episode, as communities in the Mountain West grow - so does the need for Spanish language interpreters. This is especially true in booming resort towns where Latinos power economies — and need to access services. The Mountain West News Bureau’s Hanna Merzbach reports some people — like Jackson local Celia Perez — are stepping up to fill that language gap.

    Jackson Unpacked airs locally at 89.1 FM or via live-stream Mondays at 7:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., and Fridays and Sundays at 12:30 p.m. Support Jackson’s only nonprofit newsroom by becoming a member of KHOL today.
