Betsy Gaines-Quammen explores radicalism in the American west


Listen Later

Today, Tracy talks with Betsy Gaines-Quammen, author of two books about the West -- American Zion: Cliven Bundy, God, and Public Lands -- and True West: Myth and Meaning on the Far Side of America -- about something on many people's minds today: radicalism and how it's changing the American experience. Their focus is Idaho, Colorado and Montana and they get into everything from Mormonism, the takeover of the outdoors by the rich, and wolf reintroduction, one of Tracy's favorite topics. But don't worry if this sounds like heavy stuff. Their conversation ends on an up-note.
