About this episode

The episode discusses the University of Wyoming's budget cuts that didn't occur, the shortage of veterinarians in the state, and a visit from the UK's consul general.

Today on the show, the University of Wyoming faced steep cuts during this year’s state budget talks. But the cuts never came. We hear from UW’s president what happened. Veterinarians, especially large animal vets, are increasingly in short supply in the state. And the United Kingdom’s consul general has been visiting Wyoming. Those stories and more.
