Cassandra’s (Formerly the KHOL Community Affairs Director) new segment, Notes for the Apocalypse, will be aired on Sundays at 12:30pm. She’ll talk with guests from Jackson Hole and beyond about the lesser talked about topics in life: joy, despair, work, passion, relationships, death, love, and so forth. The first episode is a (somewhat nasally) conversation with her friend Anna. They both grew up in Jackson and moved back after college and living abroad. They delve into what it’s like to forge a life in a town with pre-established personal and family history, dating in a ski-town, what happens when being a “skier” or “mountain biker” isn’t your primary identifier, how to cultivate deep friendships, and how not to depress everyone when you feel overwhelmed by the world.
