Common Ground: A Prairie Podcast is hosted by Dr. Josh Anderson, a former American literature professor who returned home to rural ND to help lead local conservation efforts. Often considered “flyover country,” North Dakota is the least visited state in the nation. But thanks to a generous grant from the North Dakota Natural Resources Trust, you can experience this rich and rugged landscape. Josh travels to the pastures, grasslands, and wetlands to talk to Pulitzer Prize winning journalists, award-winning artists, soil health experts, conservation organizations, and local farmers & ranchers.
