Change is in Wyoming’s DNA

In this episode, we talk about change. BIG changes that happened in our homes and work during COVID

Chloe Flagg makes distinctions about life as a mom during Covid. “It's kind of funny to even talk about change before COVID. It's like the world kind of doesn't even exist before 2020, in a lot of ways because where we are right now is so radically different than where we were.”

Lucas Fralick sees Wyoming always in a flux of change. “So it sounds to me that Wyoming is almost made for change.”

Sam Lightner, our guest historian sheds light on change in Wyoming throughout history…“but I thought of change. I thought of the 1860s in Wyoming and how much change there was then compared to now. And you start with the COVID. All right. Well, think about cholera. Cholera was rampant in Wyoming streams, central Wyoming streams at this time because of the immigrant trail passing through. And you have nearly half a million people passing over one space and they're all getting rid of human waste and it was ruining the streams and you were killing thousands of people with that.”

The voices you will hear are from women across Wyoming – Jackson, Baggs and Shell. Wyomingites who have three diverse perspectives on change and living change in our state, Melissa Cassutt, Linda Fleming and Mary Budd Flitner.
