    <description>&lt;p&gt;Presented by the &lt;a href="http://mountainresearch.org"&gt;Institute for Mountain Research at Westminster College&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;em&gt;Mountain Stories Podcast&lt;/em&gt; will share the stories of people who live, work, and play in the mountains. The Institute for Mountain Research provides a hub to coordinate and support interdisciplinary research and learning related to the cultural, economic, scientific and political facets of mountain landscapes and the people who live in them. We encourage deep and abiding interests in the mountains, the people who live in and near them, and the connections between the two. The Institute supports thinking across disciplinary and political boundaries in order to foster conversations about the landscapes that are part of our lives. We strive to serve as a home for exploration, a refuge for reflection and thought, and a forum for community conversation.&lt;/p&gt;
