Exploring the evolving identity of the American West. Produced by Wyoming Public Media and PRX, The Modern West takes you on a sound-rich journey into some of America's most iconic landscapes.

Kylie Mohr • High Country News Jun 15, 2022

"(Season: Cowboy Up) ...the show’s personal anecdotes and quavering young voices often made me want to cry, it’s not all dark. Still, while a single school can’t solve the problems Cowboy Up outlines, it’s a glimmer of hope for teens who might otherwise face incarceration, and listeners who want to help improve the system."

"It’s a vivid, engaging series, enlivened by memorable details: moose hunts, dance halls, an old-timer who rides his horse into a saloon."
