This latest podcast is with Wyoming historian and professional rock climber Sam Lightner Jr. What an interesting path and journey his life choices have taken him on. His life choices took him on adventures to discover history in other parts of the world, learning about people, culture and their mountains. Sam is our historian for our new podcast from Wyoming Humanities – (shhhhhh….I can’t tell you the name yet until we launch later this month). Sam was raised in Jackson, Wyoming. At different times he has been fortunate enough to also live in southern Thailand, Banff, Alberta, and Moab, Utah, but Wyoming has always been "home." Traveling and living  in such diverse places has helped Sam greatly as a writer. Not only has it provided a plethora of settings to build stories upon, but also given insight into diverse people and cultures.  But in the meantime check out Sam’s new book, Wyoming: A History of the American West. And I’ll keep you posted on the release!
