Claudio Orso-Giacone is an Italian printmaker taking part in the residency program at the Teton ArtLab this month. He talked with us about the unique nature of working with a once-living material like wood, why working in the negative space or "the mirror" in printmaking has a sinister quality, how teaching allows one to speak in the language of their passion, and cultural tradition/modern state of art in Italy and the U.S.

This Sunday, July 31st, at 4pm sharp, the festivities begin for the St. John's Hospital Foundation Centennial Celebration in conjunction with JH Live at Snow King Ball Field. Aside from honoring 100 years of medical care, it will feature the Grammy-Award winning band, the Steel Drivers, as well as local openers. We talked with John Goettler and Shannon McCormick about all that's in store.

We talked with journalist Dustin Bleizeffer from the online, nonprofit newsource Wyofile about their photos of the firefighters wrestling the blazes across Wyoming, the experts that weighed in on Medicaid expansion in the state, and the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by environmental groups regarding data trespass laws.

Local writer Nanci Turner Steveson was greatly impacted by what she ingested as a young reader. Now, she creates fictional tales for young readers (called "Middle Grade Fiction" in the publishing business) herself. Harper Collins recently put out her novel "Swing Sideways" and she's got another called "Georgia Rules" on the way. We talked about how you write for kids living in the digital age, what surfaced from her own childhood in her books, her creative motivation, and the themes that are making the book popular across generations. She also shared a reading from the book with us on-air.

She'll have a reading and book-signing at the Teton County Library on September 14th at 6pm.
