October 14, 2021 Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury on the role of climate in politics

Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury represents New Mexico’s 1st congressional district, which includes her hometown of Albuquerque. She took office in the summer of 2021, replacing now-Interior Secretary Deb Haaland. The congresswoman centered climate change in her campaign for Congress, a message she says resonated with the vast majority of her voters.

In this episode of the Landscape, she talks about running on a climate platform, centering climate in the reconciliation process, and the tough challenges facing New Mexico related to climate change.

She’s also got some advice for conservation and environmental groups at the end of the episode.

September 27, 2021 Jonathan Thompson on the history of the Sagebrush Rebellion

Author and journalist Jonathan Thompson joins Aaron and Kate to talk about his new book, Sagebrush Empire, from Torrey House Press.

The book explores the birth of the Sagebrush Rebellion, a movement that rejects regulations and restrictions on public lands, as well as how the unique characteristics of San Juan County led the Sagebrush Rebellion to flourish there. He also shares some of his own views on how to manage recreation on public land.

Sagebrush Empire is Jonathan’s second book. His first, River of Lost Souls, is about the Gold King Mine spill in southwestern Colorado. He also publishes a newsletter called The Land Desk, which tackles topics related to Western public lands.
