Sarah Aronson

In the last episode of Grounding season two, Host Sarah Aronson and MTPR Host and Producer Lauren Korn talk about the homesickness they feel for places they love that have changed. And, they put a word to that feeling—solastalgia. Lauren interviews writer and editor Paul Bogard, who created an anthology sourced from people coming to terms with the word and the feeling of solastalgia.

In episode four of Grounding, Sarah Aronson talks to a pharmacist, Dr. Hayley Blackburn, who shares some environmental facts about the industry—one being that pharmaceuticals have been found in water bodies on every single continent. Aronson talks to Blackburn about Prozac fish and drug waste and how Blackburn navigates her moral injury working in an industry that doesn't always align with her values.

All kinds of writers are featured in this episode. From Montana’s current Poet Laureate to a couple of songwriters and a Bozeman playwright.
