Project Overview

This project established a biweekly (26 episodes per year) podcast on rangeland ecology and
management, marketed the "show" to a national audience, focusing on the Western United States, and provided additional instruction by connecting listeners with customized educational resources in the show notes at artofrange.com.
This interview-style podcast on rangeland management broadcasted the considered thoughts
of experts in the field, both academic and practitioner, to ranchers and natural resource
professionals on a sequence of topics designed to address the risks identified by ranchers and
researchers as the greatest threats to their viability and succession: legal risk from environmental
regulation, production risks in land base uncertainty and enterprise diversification, and human
risk through interpersonal relationships.
There is a podcast for everything under the sun, but not for range management. The Art of Range podcast helped aspiring and established range managers learn from those who have mastered the art and understood the science. The show will solicited feedback through a Qualtrics online survey instrument advertised in each episode.
