SUMMARY:'The Case for Rural America': A conversation with researcher and author J. Tom Mueller
DESCRIPTION:In his recent book\, “The Case for Rural America\,” rural sociologist and demographer J. Tom Mueller\, Ph.D.\, makes a case for why rural America is worth saving and what policymakers must do to preserve a way of life that many people prefer. One of the main solutions he proposes is directly related to healthcare in America. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator: Jared Ewy\, Radio host\, The Daily Yonder\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJared Ewy\n\n\n\nRadio host\, The Daily Yonder \n\n\n\nAfter an attempt to play college football disabused him of the notion that he was a battering ram\, Jared Ewy made the leap into radio. From the Four Corners\, he worked his way to Denver before taking on an opportunity to work with Bob Newhart and\, in turn\, launch a comedy career. Incredibly poor\, he would join a tech startup and help build it into a company on the Nasdaq. From there\, Ewy has focused on helping nonprofits like Ability Connection Colorado share the work they do\, as well as syndicate Yonder Radio\, a show that amplifies rural stories and is syndicated across the country. Ewy continues to tell stories on stage. He’s won Denver’s Moth Story Slam seven times and is currently the back-to-back Moth Grand Slam Champion. He lives in Colorado with his wife\, three kids and too many pets. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJ. Tom Mueller\, Ph.D.\, Director\, Kansas Center for Rural Health\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJ.
