KTNU interviews Patty Limerick and Ivan Doig. Ivan Doig received the Wallace Stegner award from The Center of the American West for his western-American writing, and most recent book House of Sky.

Patty Limerick is the featured interview on the show and she speaks about her earlier prediction about the west. Years earlier she had predicted that the West's reliance on mining, logging and ranching would change, and the new west would be dominated by people who would both recreate in and preserve the western environment.

Patty Limerick was the keynote speaker for a conference at the University of Oregon on September, 13, 2007.
