Rural Reflections
Rural Reflections is a simple approach to daily life viewed from a rural perspective. Grant Nelson is a columnist and podcaster who has written for several area media outlets for almost 22 years. This podcast will take you back to your childhood, or it may make today’s technology seem a bit simpler-or just make you feel good. Grant often writes a letter to his brother, Dave Nelson, who lives in Carrington, North Dakota then invites listeners to peer over his shoulder and hear what he has to say. Rural Reflections is a podcast where it is always Sunday morning.
