Wendy Corr:
Well, hey there folks. Welcome to The Roundup. We are a Cowboy State Daily podcast, and we focus on interesting people in the cowboy state. I am so pleased to be able to talk to this person, to this guest today. We've got a lot of ground to cover, but we have a lot of things in common, including radio in Wyoming, and then it's just going to go on from there.
But first, I want to be able to tell you about another podcast outside of this one, that's another great resource for anyone who's in the business world in Wyoming, and that is the Wyoming Business Alliance business from the basement podcast.
If you are a business person, if you want to become a business person, if you're looking for extra resources, ideas, inspiration, the business from the basement podcast is the place to go, so check them out.
But don't check them out just yet. Stay here with us, because we're going to be chatting with Scott Anderson. Scott embodies radio in the cowboy state. Scott has had or is either owned or operated radio stations all across the country and a little outside our borders, and has also then brought those talents and that passion for broadcasting to Wyoming and and has a great connection here with Cowboy State daily as well.
So good morning. Scott Anderson, how are you?
Scott Anderson:
Good morning, Wendy Corr, I'm happy to be here.
Wendy Corr:
I'm happy to have you. We tried to make this work last week, and Scott was you were hit hard by some sort of awful bug, and I'm so sorry.
Scott Anderson:
Yes, it's one of those things that happens once in a while.
Wendy Corr:
Yeah, sadly, it does. And when you're in broadcasting, it's genuinely a bad thing to get hit by a bug like that, but you're kind of above the actual on air broadcasting, now. You're an owner of four radio stations, but they're not all in Jackson. Tell us about your radio stations that you own now.
Scott Anderson:
So I have four in Jackson, and I actually have one in Island Park, Idaho, and I'm acquiring one in West Yellowstone, Montana. So I'll end up having a total of six. But in Jackson, we have a country station, KJAX. We have a rock station called KMTN, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. And we've got a Hispanic station, KSGT and a classic rocker KZ95.
Wendy Corr:
A Hispanic station. That is not something that we talk about a whole lot when in Wyoming, so to have a it's all Hispanic, all Spanish speaking?
Scott Anderson:
It's regional Mexican music and Hispanic speaking announcers. Jackson has an enormous Hispanic population, as do many towns in Wyoming. And so we made an effort many years ago, something like 25 years ago, to have at least part of our programming dedicated to our Hispanic population. So we dedicated a few hours a week on one of the stations and had a local crew come in and do the show.
And then when we had an opportunity to do a low powered translator on our AM station, we decided to go with a regional Mexican format, because we felt like that portion of our population needed to be served as much as anyone else. And so we've been doing that for quite a few years now.
Wendy Corr:
And obviously that went over well and that that's been well received. Otherwise you wouldn't still be doing it. That's fantastic. That's, I think that's fantastically forward thinking.
Tell me about what it is about radio that captured your life, because it did capture your life before you even came to Wyoming. How did you get started and involved in the broadcasting industry, Scott?
Scott Anderson:
Well, as like with much of my life, it's been something I've stumbled onto when I graduated from high school in Billings, Montana, I did what we all normally did, and that is I enrolled at MSU and immediately started eating pizza and drinking beer instead of studying.
And so that caused its own issues, and my mom decided that it would be best for me to get into some other line than college, and so she got me enrolled in the May School of broadcasting in Billings, which is was a really big force in regional broadcasting at the time, and several of of some of my other Wyoming radio friends also went there.
So I. It was, it was good. And from there, I got a job in Devils Lake, North Dakota as my first radio job. And Devils Lake was a neat town, but strangely, at that time, it's no longer this way, their football team was called the Satans, and that was a little bit freaky for some of us.
Wendy Corr:
How did they manage to get away with that? Because that would not be something that would go over. I was thinking, North Dakota, too.
Scott Anderson:
Well, and then I came back to Montana, and I worked in Baker, Montana, which is down in the southeast corner in Fallon County, and was there for a little while, and then I worked in Rock Springs for a while, and then I moved to St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands, and went to work for a couple of radio stations there.
Wendy Corr:
Now, what gave you the idea to head to the Caribbean? Because that's really cool.
Scott Anderson:
Well, a bunch of us in Billings loved Jimmy Buffett, and so we would have Jimmy Buffett parties and sit around and drink tequila sunrises and listen to his music. And I thought, well, I'm in the radio business. I'm just going to pick up the phone and call, and the first radio station I called, WIBS, we called it, hired me over the phone, so I packed my bags and moved from Billings to Charlotte, Amalia, Virgin Islands.
Wendy Corr:
Wow. Now that takes guts. It really does, because so many people think about, oh, wouldn't it be great, but you actually did it.
Scott Anderson:
Yeah, I don't know if it took guts - I was just so sure of myself, but it was, it was quite a culture shock, a big difference, but I loved it. Made a lot of great friends there, had a good time, and was there for almost seven years.
Wendy Corr:
Wow. Okay, so seven years in the Virgin Islands, and then you said, what now? I've got to head back north, where the winters are cold. And yeah.
Scott Anderson:
What happened was a little storm called Hurricane Hugo, which was in 1989 and it was one of the worst storms on record, maybe still considered one of the top 10 terrible storms. And that storm hit St Thomas in September and circulated around us for more than a week with huge, damaging winds, and it basically destroyed the island and destroyed the economy, and was quite disruptive.
And so after a couple of months of helping to clean up, I decided I needed to go where there was some more opportunity and a little less wind.
Wendy Corr:
Less wind. We don't often talk about that in Wyoming, that there's places with more wind than Wyoming there is. So you got back to Montana at that point, but you were not, you'd been bit by the radio bug, and this was, this was the beginning then of the next step in the next chapter in your career.
Scott Anderson:
Well, Wendy, a lot of folks told me at the time that I had a face for radio, and I thought that was a compliment. I've been told since then that it really was not so much. But no, radio is what I had decided to do.
And you know, in the old days, radio was the most portable job you could get. Every town had a radio station, and every town needed someone to run the football game or do the morning show. So it was an opportunity to just kind of go wherever you wanted to go. And my next stop was Jackson, Wyoming.
Wendy Corr:
Now, Jackson, Wyoming, and this then takes you to 1990. Jackson, Wyoming is considered one of the most ridiculously expensive places to live in the entire United States, if not, yet without question. But in 1990 it must have been a little more accessible to everyman.
Scott Anderson:
Well, it was, you know, but, but comparatively, it was still an expensive town in 1990. That's when a bedroom for rent was $400, which sounds like a bargain today, but making $400 bucks in Jackson in 1990 wasn't that easy, but it certainly was more accessible.
There were more houses available to rent, but there was a lot of opportunity in the summer season and a little bit of opportunity in the winter season. So it's was a transient community, but I loved it and the radio station that I went to work for, KMTN, I did the news. I was a news director right in the very beginning, and then graduated to the morning show. And anyway, I've been here ever since.
Wendy Corr:
And now, folks, instead of just, you know, working at that station that brought him there, now, Scott owns it, and I just think that that is the American dream, right there. You started out working at KMTN, now you are the owner of KMTN.
Tell us how you went from being just an on air personality or news director, and then say, You know what, I'm going to invest in this? I'm going to invest not just my time, but my money, my resources, and basically give my life over to radio.
Scott Anderson:
Well, I became the manager of the radio stations a few years after I got here, just because I happened to be here, and they really needed someone to step in. So I did, and I fulfilled that role for over 20 years, managing the stations. And then our company decided to sell the company to an outfit out of Utah who took it for a couple of years, and unfortunately for them, they went bankrupt.
They had stations in Idaho and Wyoming, and so they ended up being forced into bankruptcy. And so that sort of sparked an idea in my head that maybe this would be a good idea to see if I could step in, which I did.
And so we did that, back in 2019, 18. Anyway, we closed the deal the day that COVID started. So it gave us a little spice of a challenge to to deal with.
Wendy Corr:
You think? Holy cow, that is the heck of a time. Now, radio, of course, is one of those things, at the beginning of COVID, everybody needed to know what was happening. Radio stations become the hub of the information that needed to be disseminated to the population in so many ways.
Did you find then, transitioning to being the owner from the manager, ,how was that transition, especially in such a crazy time?
Scott Anderson:
Well, you know, it's interesting, because the whole world stopped. Jackson's retail economy stopped, and that meant that the economics of everything had changed. So not only did we have, you know, have to make payroll and keep the lights on and all of that stuff, but we had a duty to spend our time informing the public.
So we had to kind of prioritize that first, you know, we, we were expected to interview all of the experts and all of the officials, you know, basically, on a, you know, on a daily basis, it filled up much of our programming, and so it was a challenge, but it's one that I think made us more resilient, as I think COVID has for many things, but it was a challenge, I won't lie.
Wendy Corr:
No kidding. Oh, my word. So that then was just one of the radio stations that you purchased, KMTN, was your deciding to purchase that radio station, did that come with - was that part of a bundle?
Scott Anderson:
Part of the bundle. And, you know, we had operated stations all over the country, before I ended up buying the company. We'd operated in Maui and over in Sun Valley, Idaho, and so, you know, I had an affinity to resort market radio. So when there was a chance to say, well, I'll just make this mine. Some may say it was foolish, but I did it anyway.
Wendy Corr:
The resort thing, that's that really is a niche. I mean, there are only so many resorts in the United States that will have a town with a radio station attached to it, but with your experience in Jackson, of course, that makes sense. Hawaii and Sun Valley and places like that. What's different about running and operating a station in a tourist economy, versus someplace like, you know, a city market that's kind of, it's a whole different listener base?
Scott Anderson:
I mean, in a tourist town, you sort of change over your listenership almost every season. Obviously, we have a lot of old timers, including myself. Both are still here, but every season, there's an opportunity to engage a new group of listeners.
And so as KMTN's been on the air now for its 50th year, I've been here for 35 of those years, and it's been just a great opportunity to play new music, introduce people to new artists, which is what KMTN does. And so we just love it.
And it's similar in most resort towns. In Sun Valley, when we bought Sun valley's, radio stations, catch and KSKI, the music playlist was almost the same. The personalities were similar, and the towns were quite similar, you know, kind of that same vibe you get, not to mention, in resort towns, you have great restaurants.
Wendy Corr:
Very true, very true. Hey, I want to know, though, this is something that has been on my mind. I got into the radio business accidentally in 2006 and have been doing some form of broadcasting most of every year since then, when we have transitioned from the time where on air, over the air, local radio stations were the singular way that people got their message out, that and local newspapers.
We have transformed so much our listening habits over to streaming digital news media now with Cowboy State Daily. What sort of challenges has that presented you as a radio station owner and operator? To keep that engagement, not just from your listeners, but from the community and from your advertisers. Because people don't, I don't think, really consider the fact that you have to have the advertising to keep the doors open.
Scott Anderson:
That's what pays the bills. As we like to say, we promote events to our listeners in exchange for money. So it has been a challenge, without question, technology has been disruptive. Much of radio, the industry's problems, though, are sort of self inflicted.
The corporatization of radio, the the consolidation of radio and large markets, with huge corporate companies buying thousands of radio stations, has really changed the landscape ahead of the digital revolution, and I think, made it possible for in a lot of communities, for the for the digital media to take a lot of the local space away from local radio because it had stopped being local.
So, you know, that was sort of the place setting that was before us. And then with the digital revolution, and the idea that you could listen to music on Spotify or Amazon, music captured the imagination of a lot of ad buyers and retailers.
But as I like to point out, you know, do you remember the cassette player or the CD player or the eight track tape? There's always been an alternative to listening to music than your radio station. So this is obviously a much bigger disruption than any of those things, but local radio is still relevant.
I do a little bit on the morning show with my partner Fish every weekday morning, and we have tons of commentary from folks, lots of local listeners. And now that we stream as well, we get listeners from Florida and Georgia and Brazil and India, and a lot of loyal folks who tune in every morning to hear our little radio station in our tiny special town of Jackson.
Wendy Corr:
No kidding. Wow. How do they find you? I mean, really, in that whole sea of the Internet there. How do they find the Jackson Wyoming radio station?
Scott Anderson:
Well, most of those listeners are folks who have had a connection to Jackson in the past, who have visited or who have even lived here at some point or another. And we have a little bit of word of mouth, one of our good radio friends and listeners from overseas, Rob Ashford is, he's a radio guy. His radio station in the UK is radio Caroline, who people may remember as the pirate radio ship from the 70s.
And Rob is, it still exists, not quite in the same form, but Rob, he's one of the veterans of radio Caroline, so we count that as one of our honors.
Wendy Corr:
Absolutely. I want to transition just a little bit away from the radio business itself and just kind of go into your life and your career outside of radio, because you loved your new adopted hometown so much that you said, I want to get involved in more than just my own business. I want to serve.
And so you went into the realm of elected official - and tell us about throwing your hat in the ring to become a town councilman.
Scott Anderson:
Well, it started when I moved to town and I met a fellow who was the mayor, Bill Westbrook was the mayor, and Bill also ran the shootout for the Chamber of Commerce, and I got involved in the shootout. And during one gunfight or another, he convinced me it would be a good idea if I ran for the town council.
So I did, and I won. Crazy Surprise. Surprise. Yes, I was surprised.
Wendy Corr:
Because, do you think, you know, name recognition? Or do you think that you really ran a really great campaign?
Scott Anderson:
I don't think I ran a great campaign. It could have been name recognition. I really don't know. I was a long haired young guy who'd only been in town for less than two years. So I'm sure there were a lot of longtime locals who scratched their heads over it, but I got involved. I won, and then I won again, and then I ran for mayor, and lost by I think it was 11 votes.
Wendy Corr:
Oh, no, that close!
Scott Anderson:
Yeah, but it turned out I was grateful to get away from it for a while, but then I ran again and won. So all told, I did 12 years on the town council in Jackson, which some could say was not always the most fun job.
Wendy Corr:
So I worked at the City of Cody. That was where I lived for about eight years, and the city council - I know the behind the scenes stuff that happens in the city council and how much that can wear on a person. I know people who were the best city council people, but they were out after one term. They were like, I cannot deal with this. It is so high stress, and everybody is so demanding, and you can never do anything right. What was your experience?
Scott Anderson:
It seems that way, although I was lucky enough to work with almost the same people, virtually the same people, for that 12 year period, and so we had a good working relationship.
But Jackson, just like Cody or any other town in the West, there's development pressure. There are people who don't want development. There are people who do want it. So it's a matter of balancing that kind of stuff. And I would say it's harder now for the new council than it was for us in the old days. It's just a little simpler.
But I did that for 12 years, and then I decided to get involved in our chamber of commerce. And I was with the Chamber for quite a while, on their board, and then went on to serve as a board member on the United States Chamber of Commerce out in Washington, DC.
Wendy Corr:
I saw that, and I was going to ask you about that. What an amazing opportunity to take what you learned and what you know and your experiences in Wyoming and in Jackson and take that to a national level. What did you learn there? What was your experience with the US, Chamber of Commerce?
Scott Anderson:
Well, I, you know, I learned a lot. The Chamber of Commerce is loved or hated by lots of people, but it represents a lot of different businesses around the country. And so during the course of being involved in the chamber, you meet so many interesting people that you would never meet.
You know, as an example, I met, the day after the election, I met Vice President Pence during that election. He came to speak to the Chamber of Commerce as one of his first stops. And, you know, I met so many of those type of folks, government officials and that sort of thing, and so many great small business people from around the country.
So it was an opportunity to share experiences and to learn a little bit about the bureaucracy of Washington, DC. And the other thing I learned is you don't want to live in a place where you have to wear a suit in 70% humidity, which I don't know how they do. I just don't know.
Wendy Corr:
There's an observation that I was not expecting. So no, you're right. Wouldn't you rather live in Wyoming, even though you have to wear a parka, and, you know, stay inside for a good section of the of the year in the wintertime. Unless you're a skier, of course.
Scott Anderson:
I used to run a little subcommittee of the chamber on technology and communications, and I would host a meeting once a quarter. And the first meeting, everyone showed up, and I was chairing the meeting, and I had a sport coat on, but it was so hot, I took it off, and then everyone else in the room had a coat and everything.
And I looked out at the audience. I said, Look, I'm from Wyoming. If you're wearing a tie, you're suspicious to people, so feel free to dress down, jeans, T shirts, whatever you want. It's fine with me. In fact, everyone in DC needs to relax. So when I see John Fetterman in the halls of Congress, maybe he takes it too far, but I like the direction.
Wendy Corr:
You'd rather see people get just a little more relaxed. Now, in the course of your public service, whether it was for the chamber, whether it was for the town council, you became involved in the Lower Valley Energy Board, right? You were elected to that board or appointed to that board.
Scott Anderson:
I was appointed to the board originally.
Wendy Corr:
And so why did your focus turn that direction? Because energy is, I guess, everything's related to energy, but, but why energy, when you come from a broadcasting background?
Scott Anderson:
Well, our local Co Op, we're a town with a co op, has been involved in the community, so I had worked with a lot of the folks in the leadership of Lower Valley energy over the years, and one of my good friends who had been serving on the board had to resign due to illness, and so there was an opening, and I decided that, you know, this could be something I could help with, and it would be something I could learn something about.
So anyway, I applied for the board seat, and for whatever reason, they decided, well, he doesn't seem to be too bad. So they put me on the board, and I served for six years, and it was really a remarkable learning experience, and it was a window into rural Wyoming and how it supplies its residents with power. And the co op world is a terrific and powerful part of the state of Wyoming.
Wendy Corr:
And then you went on to be on the Wyoming REA board as well, correct?
Scott Anderson: 27:36
The Wyoming Rural Electric Association. I served on that board for a couple of years, and it was terrific, really great. And people might not remember WREA used to be run by a guy named Craig Thomas, who later became our senator.
Wendy Corr:
Of course. Yes, my goodness, your interests are so diverse. What do you do for fun when you're not serving on a board or running a radio station?
Scott Anderson:
Well, I have a dog, and we like to go play and hike and swim and I end up driving around the state of Wyoming a lot, particularly recently as I got involved with Cowboy State Daily on a project that they're working on.
Wendy Corr:
Yes, you did, and I would love for you to tell us about this project that you're working on with Cowboy State Daily. We have been so grateful to have your expertise and your perspective as we're trying to break into, weirdly, the broadcasting business.
I mean, for those of you who follow Cowboy State Daily News, I mean, a lot of you might listen to my newscasts on your radio station, but we're going a whole different level here with the morning shows that we have, both with Jake Nichols and with John Baggett. Tell us, Scott, what did you say when Jimmy Orr reached out to you?
Scott Anderson:
Well, I'll tell you, what I told Jimmy was I admired the fact that a digital product would turn back around and say, you know, we want to embrace the broadcast world, the legacy broadcast world. And it just intrigued me so much that, you know it, it was just, it was an opportunity I couldn't pass up.
So the show, of course, is an old broadcast mate of mine named Jake Nichols, a four hour show that is aired on the website, on YouTube, on X, on Facebook, and on some radio stations around the state, starts at six, ends at 10, and it's replayed on several stations around the state.
So our goal is to spread the show to as many radio stations as possible so that people can listen to it in a traditional way. And we have Jake Nichols, who does interviews with all sorts of different folks. He had Rob O'Neill, the guy who shot Bin Laden on, he's had John Barrasso on, he's had CJ Box on, and folks like that.
It's a it's a wide ranging show, and it's really well produced. And if you haven't had a chance to to listen to it, you really need to. And then we've got another broadcast legend, John Baggett, who's up in Sheridan, but he's been on the air in, you know, Cheyenne, and in Denver, and who knows where else, it's a voice you'll recognize when you hear it, and he's doing a show on Saturday, and it is a very cool broadcast show, really laid back, informative, folksy and very Wyoming.
Wendy Corr:
Yes, absolutely. It's been such a unique foray into, like you say, turning it around, going from the high tech digital back to the traditional. And so what kind of a response are you getting from radio stations when you say, we have this product and we want to share it with you?
Scott Anderson:
Well, I'm getting a good response. But radio people, they like to program their own stations. So it's a matter of convincing them that having this show that speaks to all of Wyoming is an opportunity for them to sort of increase their footprint without having to employ their own people to do it.
So we're making progress. We're on in Cheyenne, we're on in Jackson, we're on in Riverton, and we'll be on soon in Torrington, and hopefully up in Cody and elsewhere. So we're plotting forward and and excited about the future.
Wendy Corr:
And hopefully soon West Yellowstone, because when that gets going, and you get that- what is your timeline on the West Yellowstone station?
Scott Anderson:
Sadly, it's up to the federal government and not to, not to cast aspersions on those people, but the bureaucracy is slow, and not that it should matter to our transaction, but the FCC last week went down to two commissioners. One of the commissioners resigned, so the FCC no longer has a quorum, which means they can take no action, or virtually no action.
So anyone who's expecting the FCC under the sort of deregulated administration that we have now to do some things differently. It's probably not going to happen.
Wendy Corr:
Kind of at a standstill right now. Before we wrap up, because this has been such a great conversation, Scott, I want to turn - you mentioned that you have gotten to meet some really interesting people. You met the most interesting person just a couple of years ago. From of all things, an email.
I need you, and I want everybody to hear this story, because this story gives - I only heard just a snippet of it, and I have goose bumps. Scott, tell us about this email that you got that changed your life.
Scott Anderson:
Well, a couple of years ago, I was sitting on the couch, had my computer in front of me, saw an email come across from a company called 23andme. And if people don't know, 23andme is a DNA company that people send their samples into to find out what their background is, or maybe who their relatives are.
And when it first came out, years before, I thought, Oh, this is cool. I'll send my sample in and just see what I'm all about. And I did, and there was no big revelation. But years later, and occasionally, you would get an email from 23andme that says, Oh, you have a new relative. And it was always like a fifth cousin or someone you're never going to meet.
So I got an email that says, you have a new relative. And I ignored it. I thought, you know, just another one of these. And then I got another email about an hour later that says, you have a message on 23andme so I opened it up, and the message said, Hey, have you seen these results? I need some answers. And there was a phone number on it, so I called the phone number.
And I discovered that I have, at that time, a 36 year old daughter who lived in Florida. So I was shocked, of course, frightened, every other emotion you can think of. But I finally, I picked up the phone, and she answered the phone, and all I could think of to say was, Hey, how's it going? So at any rate, from there, I flew down to meet her. She lives in Fort Myers, and we hit it off like you would never believe. It was just a terrific opportunity to get to know her, and we've been in touch almost every day since.
Wendy Corr:
Every day. Wow, I'm sitting here crying, Scott, this is just fantastic. What an amazing unexpected gift in your life, something that obviously you never, you never would have imagined.
Scott Anderson:
Well, I never, I never knew it was coming, and they didn't, either. Her mom, I won't go into the details of the story, but this was back in St Thomas, when I lived there, and we met, and she was actually seeing another fella at the time. So when she became pregnant, everyone just assumed.
And that's how they marched through life, and until one day when there was a medical thing that came up, and there was a test done, and my daughter learned that her dad was not her dad, so then she began the search, and one day, finally decided, I'll try 23andme and within a couple of days, she's like, who's Scott Anderson?
Wendy Corr:
So tell me about your daughter. And I just think that that is fantastic, because especially you guys, you must have found so many things in common, and for you to have become so close so quickly.
Scott Anderson:
Well, she's terrific. She's a beautiful woman. Her name is Dia. She's a terrific person. She loves animals, she loves Florida. She's married to a great guy named Dieter, and they have a fun life down in in Fort Myers, and so I've been down to see them several times. The mother, the baby mama, lives down there as well. Donna and I have reconnected, and we developed a great friendship.
And so it's great. I brought my daughter up to visit my family a couple of times up here in in Wyoming, in Montana and Idaho, and we just keep going back and forth. And it's been an unexpectedly lovely reunion.
Wendy Corr:
That is just phenomenal. And how great for her as well, to have discovered this whole family that she didn't know that she had.
Scott Anderson:
Yeah, she's wonderful.
Wendy Corr:
Good for you. On that note, what that just leaves me grinning. I mean, My cheeks hurt. That's so fun, Scott. And congratulations on being a dad at this stage in your life.
Scott Anderson:
Yes, this will be my second or third Father's Day. Wow.
Wendy Corr:
Well, Happy Father's Day to you, Scott, and Happy Father's Day to all of you out there, as that's going to be this weekend. This has been such a great conversation, Scott, we're grateful for all the expertise that you have brought us at Cowboy State Daily. Again, your perspective, your connections have just meant so much.
In fact, you got to connect with a lot of people this past weekend at the Wyoming Association of Broadcasters meeting this year in Cody.
Scott Anderson:
Yeah, yeah, it was, it was a great deal of fun, although we stayed up a little late the first night.
Wendy Corr:
Those things tend to happen at WAB.
Scott Anderson:
Wendy, thank you so much for inviting me on your podcast.
Wendy Corr:
I am grateful that you said yes, that we were able to make it work. I'm grateful for all of you who tune into these podcasts, because I think that what we provide here is an insight into who Wyoming really is, the people and the stories that make up this amazing state that we all call home.
And for those of you who are watching from other states, we invite you to think of us as your sister, your sister state and your community away from your own, because this is the kind of state that we are and we are just we're so grateful for all of you who watch.
If you have not watched some of these previous podcasts, because, my goodness, we've been doing this for a year and a half now. Every week there's a unique guest. So please feel free to go to our archives and check out those. But until then, thank you Scott Anderson for being my guest today, thank you, folks for tuning in. Have a fantastic week.
