John Ruple, associate professor (research) at the S.J. Quinney College of Law, recently appeared on a new public radio podcast by Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) titled “Bundyville,” which explores politics and beliefs that drive Cliven Bundy, the rancher who refused to pay federal grazing fees and later faced off with government agents in an armed standoff outside a Nevada ranch. 
“Bundyville” is a joint podcast by OPB and Longreads, hosted and reported by award-winning freelance journalist Leah Sottile. It is produced by Peter Frick-Wright and Robert Carver of 30 Minutes West Productions, and OPB’s Ryan Haas.
