The School of Energy Resources (SER) welcomed Governor Mark Gordon as the most recent guest on its podcast, “Energy Frontier: The Wyoming Landscape.”
Hosted by SER Executive Director Holly Krutka, the podcast brings together diverse energy professionals to explore energy topics, including SER’s research efforts and developing Wyoming projects. Since its launch in May, guests have included SER researchers, students, and state leaders like Wyoming State Geologist Erin Campbell and Angi Bruce, director of Wyoming Game and Fish Department, laying a foundation for the ample energy-related activities in the state.
Elected in November 2018, Mark Gordon is Wyoming’s 33rd and current Governor. During his tenure, he has actively engaged in all aspects of the issues facing Wyoming’s energy sector. In the latest podcast episode, he discusses his life, career and the opportunities and challenges Wyoming faces as an energy producing state.
“We are so fortunate in Wyoming to have our industry partners, researchers, and elected and appointed officials be so connected to energy and accessible,” says Krutka. “It is part of the reason why Wyoming’s energy sector is successful and creating SER’s podcast has been an incredible experience to showcase the diversity and breadth of activities occurring in the energy space. It was a pleasure to chat with Governor Gordon and discuss efforts at the state level.”
No stranger to the airwaves, Gordon also hosts his own podcast entitled, “The Morning Gather with Governor Mark Gordon,” in which he speaks with Wyoming leaders, experts, and everyday citizens to discuss the issues and topics that matter most to Wyoming communities.
To listen to Energy Frontier: The Wyoming Landscape, episodes are posted weekly to the SER website (https://www.uwyo.edu/ser/news/energy-frontier-podcast.html) and are available to stream on all audio platforms.
