Ed Roberson is a podcast host and storyteller who tells stories about the American West. His podcast, Mountain & Prairie, interviews changemakers from around the West about topics like land, water, and conservation. I spent many years working as a commercial and ranch real estate broker, and actually went to graduate school with the intention of becoming a developer. In 2016, while still in the real estate business, I started my podcast, Mountain & Prairie, as a nights-and-weekends creative project. DY: Your podcast, Mountain & Prairie, comprises conversations with changemakers around the Western United States, but you’re originally from North Carolina.
