'Heavier, faster, we’re diving in'

Looming beneath the surface on North Cache is a plume of a carcinogen called benzene from an old gas station, about to be unearthed to build a mega-hotel. Is the development leading to remediation, risk, or both? In a novel effort to protect both cattle and elk from disease, the Greater Yellowstone Coalition has started a new program to share costs with ranchers moving cattle in  winter, with the majority of work now in Teton County. And Chris Archuleta, frontman and guitarist of Jackson Hole band Box Elder, came into the KHOL studios to debut the band’s brand new single, “Origami Bats,” exploring how friendships change with age.
