There are many questions communities face that cannot be resolved with simple decisions, but require ongoing discussion, education, and action. This program is dedicated to providing information about such issues from presentations that might otherwise be lost, as well as collecting perspectives from people who are knowledgeable about or affected by them.

Crossroads
Thanks to its converging rivers and configuration of mountain passes, the Gallatin Valley has always been a crossroads of people and culture. The Blackfeet called it Ahkoto Waktai Sakum, Many-Come-Together country. This program celebrates natural and cultural connections that have a strand passing through this place.
Ecotones
An ecotone is a transition zone between two biomes. It is where two communities meet and integrate. It may be narrow or wide. It may be local (the zone between a field and forest) or regional (the transition between forest and grassland.) An ecotone may appear as a gradual blending of two communities across a broad area, or it can manifest itself as a sharp boundary line.
Ecotones explores the variety and diversity of the Greater Gallatin Valley Community … and beyond….. offering audio echo tones as our communities influence – and are influenced by – each other, bridging limits and boundaries, celebrating diversity.

By doing so, we create a level platform for history, politics, religion, philosophy, criticism, ethics, self-consciousness, reason, creativity, human values and aspirations.

micromegas
Eli Bowe, a VISTA volunteer working in the Office of Economic Development for the City of Bozeman, has created a podcast about local entrepreneurs: who they are, where they have come from, and how they have achieved their success (or not). He calls it micromegas, after the story by Voltaire, and because of the mega potential of the initially micro efforts of people who start things that matter. Visit the micromegas website for all of the podcast episodes.
