Episode 10 of The Native Edge podcast is all about tourism. Yvette solo hosts (with an assist from producer Mikaela Garcia) this episode, which features a conversation with Ed Hall. Ed is a consultant for The National Center working on our new tourism program.
Ed and Yvette talk to the tremendous potential for tourism in Indian Country, as well as some challenges and regional differences. This is the beginning of the conversation about tourism; a future episode will feature the rest of our tourism team representing five regions across the country.

Election Day is just around the corner! To get you ready to cast your ballot and answer some questions about our voting process, we invited Maricopa County, Arizona Recorder Stephen Richer to join us in studio. Stephen has established himself as one of the foremost experts on voting systems and the election process in the country.
Chris and Yvette talk to Stephen about his background, why he decided to run for Recorder, how he withstood and fought back against unfounded attacks after the 2020 election, the importance of voting and democracy, and being named a "Democracy Defender" by Time Magazine. Plus, Stephen shares his love of learning - and challenges with changing a flat tire.
We hope you enjoy the episode. Please tell your friends to listen - and don't forget to register to vote and make your voice heard!
