SEP057 – Me Read Good with Jason Kurtz Part 2

Summary: In part 2 of our talk with the founder of the South Dakota Writes, Jason Kurtz, The Sioux Empire Podcast crew (Robert Mehling, Seth Glover, and Natasha Estes) talk more in depth about Jason’s non-profit.  What inspired him to start it and what it was like to discover so many writers hidden in our own state?  We explore the possibility that Sioux Falls and South Dakota in general, is in the middle of a literary and artistic explosion.  This week’s episode is sponsored by the Sioux Falls Sno Jam Comedy Festival, February 16th-18th.
