Cody Roberts sentenced in wolf case, ski resort monopolies, and more...

About this episode

The episode discusses the sentencing of a man for animal cruelty involving a wolf, a newspaper's business model redesign, and the impact of a law on ski resort expansion.

Today on the show, the man who brought an injured wolf into a bar was sentenced this week for a felony charge of animal cruelty. We hear from a reporter who was in the courtroom. A Wyoming newspaper was selected for a national program to help redesign its business model. That’s after the paper was almost shuttered last summer. And we hear how one law in the 80's paved the way for ski resorts to expand their footprint on public land. Those stories and more.
