This track features a mix of recordings from locations that often appeared in Ivan Doig's writings. The episode (there is no narration) begins with the sound of Dupuyer Creek, the real-life inspiration for Doig's fictional English Creek. Other recordings capture sounds from nearby Choteau and White Sulphur Springs. These sounds feature birds, frogs, and weather such as rain, wind and thunder. Eventually the podcast's soundscape moves from Montana to Washington where Doig lived and wrote for most of his adult life (listen for the sound of the waves along Dungeness Spit). The soundscape then returns to the Montana Prairie. All the recordings are available on the Acoustic Atlas at acousticatlas.org.

Immerse yourself in the sound of prairie wind as heard in 'Doig Country' east of Dupuyer. This is an ambient recording of the wind sweeping along the Rocky Mountain Front. (See Episode 5 for more information about the prevalence of wind in this part of Central Montana.) The recording was made by Jeff Rice for the Acoustic Atlas at Montana State University.

We interview Ivan Doig’s cousin Gordon Doig about the influence of weather on Montana ranching life. He talks about the importance of a good horse during a blizzard and recounts the ways that ranchers of Ivan Doig’s era dealt with outdoor life before the conveniences of modern weather forecasting.
