Please join us for the first part of this very special sit-down with Nick Billings, who shares his thoughts on his amazing daughter Maddie.   

A new veterinary hospital is coming to one of OSU's most visible agricultural sites, but the crop research Oklahoma producers rely on is not going away. OSU Department of Plant and Soil Sciences head Wade Thomason, Ph.D., joins Dave Deken, Brian Arnall, Ph.D., and Josh Lofton, Ph.D. to explain what is changing at the Agronomy Research Station, which long-term plots will be protected, and why good soil, irrigation, and proximity to campus cannot simply be replaced. They also walk through plans for new greenhouses, field laboratories, teaching space, soil and forage testing, plant disease diagnostics, and a possible summer 2028 move. Key takeaways: The historic Magruder Plots and other long-term fertility trials are not planned for development. The veterinary hospital is expected to use the area where the current agronomy buildings stand. Approximately 20 to 50 acres of other research ground may need to be replaced nearby. New facilities could bring wheat breeding, crop quality testing, field research and diagnostic services into a more efficient system. The modernization is designed to improve research, hands-on student education and service to Oklahoma producers. Detailed timestamped rundown 00:00–01:54 — Episode setup and field event invitation Dave introduces the debate over the Agronomy Research Station, the veterinary hospital project and the future of research and teaching at the site. He also previews the July 27 Summer Crop Demo Day near Chickasha.01:54–02:32 — Participant introductions Brian Arnall and Josh Lofton are introduced before the recorded conversation with Wade Thomason begins.02:32–04:18 — What is happening to the agronomy farm? The group addresses months of concern and confirms that the veterinary hospital is expected to occupy the footprint where the existing agronomy buildings stand.04:18–05:59 — Are the Magruder Plots safe? The long-term fertility trials are identified as irreplaceable scientific resources. The discussion makes clear that the Magruder Plots and other longstanding trials have not been offered for development.05:59–08:29 — Why agronomy cannot simply move anywhere Thomason explains the requirements for productive research ground: proximity to campus, student access, suitable soil, little slope, a location outside the floodplain and dependable irrigation supplied through the OSU water system.08:29–10:12 — Why the plots must remain near campus The station supports hands-on classes, weed identification, breeding programs, frequent crop observations and technologies such as drone imagery. Moving those activities farther away would reduce efficiency and student access.10:12–12:29 — The original farm layout had a purpose The group explains how soils, slope, wind direction, water and animal needs shaped the placement of agricultural programs. The land was not assigned randomly.12:29–14:45 — Prime real estate and agricultural history Dave describes the corner as emotionally significant to people connected with OSU agriculture. The group acknowledges that reaction while explaining the university's effort to create room for both agronomy and veterinary medicine.14:45–17:03 — The rebuild is three connected projects Plans include a greenhouse and headhouse complex, new agronomy research operations and an education and laboratory center. Wheat breeding, wheat pathology, Extension, turfgrass and ornamental horticulture are among the programs discussed.17:03–19:13 — New homes for producer services The proposed education center could include classrooms, conference space, the Soil, Water and Forage Analytical Laboratory and the Plant Disease and Insect Diagnostic Laboratory. Both laboratories currently face significant space and access limitations.19:13–22:14 — Proposed locations and the 2028 target The conversation covers possible locations on the existing sheep and goat property, the likely order of construction and the need to move agronomy operations before the existing buildings can be removed. The target is summer 2028.22:14–23:43 — Learning from other land-grant universities The planning team studied facilities at Kansas State, Purdue, Nebraska, Texas A&M, Georgia and Tennessee to identify useful designs and avoid problems those institutions encountered.23:43–27:22 — Designing around the work, not old walls The proposed greenhouses may have less total square footage but greater usable capacity through rolling benches, better lighting and ventilation. Other improvements include a pull-through seed warehouse, integrated wheat quality space, improved cotton processing, chemical storage and shared drying and grinding areas.27:22–31:27 — Shared space, compromises and adaptation The faculty discuss the benefits and frustrations of shared work areas. Some programs may gain more than others, but the experience of OSU's newer Agricultural Hall suggests shared facilities can improve communication and the student experience.31:27–34:34 — Balancing program needs and limited space The conversation continues into how researchers will adjust their workflows, which needs must be prioritized and how the new construction will affect existing research acreage.34:34–35:57 — How much land could be displaced? The working estimate is approximately 20 to 50 acres. Options include nearby purchases, existing OSU land and other research sites; the department does not expect to replace the entire 185-acre main station.35:57–37:09 — Other research locations and sheep facilities Land near Perkins and a university property east of Billings could provide additional research opportunities. The project may also accelerate plans for a new sheep and goat facility.37:09–39:09 — State funding and possible federal support The episode describes a $40 million legislative allocation tied to a $10 million OSU match. The team also plans to pursue a federal research-facilities grant of up to $30 million, which could bring the potential project budget near $80 million. The federal award was not guaranteed at the time of recording.39:09–41:42 — Private support and practical details Previously pledged greenhouse support is discussed as part of OSU's match, followed by lighter conversation about equipment, refrigerators and the research team's preferred ice machine.41:42–43:36 — A working name and final thoughts The group closes with the working name “Agronomy Research Discovery Center,” thanks Wade for the update and directs listeners to Red Dirt Agronomy for future information.

On episode two of silo we get a better understanding of the magic memory wiping drug that seems to be well established in the Silo era and it's origins dating back to Charlotte Keene after her botched Iran mission that led to the death of her squadron. Daniel meets Helen again and finds out what his sister was up to pre-mission and begins to question whether the motives are truly altruistic in regards to his sister's memory being reprogrammed.Meanwhile in the future, Juliette is made paranoid by Mr Kennedy himself regarding the vitamins she's taking, Billings confronts his wife, Lukas remains hidden for now, and Orla Kent is missing while a mysterious shipment of barrels make their way up the Silo labeled Vitamin D. Perhaps it's for the water supply?Join Mario Busto while he covers all of this on Story Archives this week.

This week's scriptures:Psalm 89v1-18Genesis 3v1-12This week, Adam's longtime friend, Jon Switzer visited us at Narrate!Adam says this of Jon:"I first met Jon when he was a senior in high school and I was 20 years old. At the time, I had no idea that we would spend nearly a decade serving together on a church staff.Jon started the middle school ministry at Harvest, and later I started the high school ministry. He was always the cool, fun, hilarious leader, while I was the serious, nerdy one.Today, Jon owns a nursery and landscaping company in Billings, and he continues to teach the Bible regularly. I love the guy, and I think you will too.Jon has also recently released a book, Hands Were Made for Working. It's available on Amazon, and we'll have copies available at church. The book is a unique blend of what he has learned as a landscaper and small business owner, combined with thoughtful, practical Bible teaching. I really enjoyed reading it.

Sarah Billings is on fire! As we wait for Australia's 2026 Commonwealth Games team to be announced, the Aussie middle-distance runner is well and truly in the mix for selection. Sarah sits down with Elise to discuss her recent form, including two massive PBs – a 3:58.81 in the 1500m at the Shanghai Diamond League, and a 1:57.61 in the 800m in Rabat, which is the second fastest time ever run by an Australian woman! But these results have been a long time in the making. Starting her career as a sprinter before moving into middle-distance in her junior years, Sarah has always been an excellent runner. But in her first years as a senior athlete, Sarah felt like she wasn't getting the performances she had hoped for. Then the injuries hit. They hit hard. And repeatedly. When Sarah was able to finally break that injury cycle, she could at last string some good consistent training together and sought the help of a performance coach to work on her mental approach to racing. She said it's made all the difference. We talk about what she learnt during those tough injury-riddled years, her breakout 2024 season, and how her persistence, mindset and consistency is now paying dividends in the results she is seeing on the track. -- Sarah Billings has represented Australia multiple times, including at World Juniors in 2016 and the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo in 2025. She is currently coached by Nic Bideau at Melbourne Track Club, and is sponsored by New Balance. -- Subscribe to Run With It wherever you get your podcasts, so you don't miss a thing! -- Follow us on Instagram: @sarahbillings @runwithit.pod @elisebeacom -- Intro/outro music by Dan Beacom Graphic design by Kate Scheer

Susan Billings Mitchell wanted to both honor her family and tell the story of the LDS church in America with her book "Forever Stalwart." She discusses the motivation behind both writing the book and combining it into installments for a certain subset of her readers. This is a fascinating discussion about faith, family and a quest to not be boring!

After spending more than three decades researching her pioneer ancestors, faith-based author Susan Billings Mitchell refused to let their stories stay dry and distant. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Robert Plank talks with Susan about how she turned generations of family history into Forever Stalwart, a gripping, novel-style series that feels more like an epic saga than a genealogy report The series follows three real Mormon pioneer families: Titus Billings, Isaac Morley, and Edward Tuttle, as they navigate persecution, the Missouri extermination order, disease, starvation, harsh weather, and repeated forced migrations in their quest for religious freedom. Susan explains how a single request from her father to “write Grandpa's story” led her into years of pre-Internet research in small museums and libraries, reconstructing the life of her great-great-grandfather after his original journal was lost, refining. https://youtu.be/eu983UhCWwE?si=ZVYXVe_6gdHeIii1 What began as an 800-page historical “brick” has become a multi-volume saga organized by both location (Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, across the plains, and Salt Lake) and spiritual theme (discovery, testing, sacrifice, enduring, refining). Susan shares how she balances strict historical accuracy with engaging storytelling, carefully weaving in fictionalized letters and scenes, but always documenting her sources and clearly labeling what's imagined. You'll hear why her motto is “Hearts Turn When History Talks,” how understanding pioneer hardships can give us fresh perspective on modern “problems,” and how she's using tools like FamilySearch and Amazon print-on-demand to make these stories available to current and future generations. If you've ever wanted to make your own family history readable, inspiring, and impossible to put down, this conversation will show you what's possible. Quotes: "They didn't set out to be heroes; they just wanted religious freedom. They just wanted to live the new gospel." "My website motto is ‘Hearts Turn When History Talks,' and I think history is so important. I really think it's the stories that turn hearts." "If we don't learn from the past, we're going to repeat the same mistakes, and there's an effort out there to destroy history. A lot of our history is just being wiped out—that's not right."

On an ordinary night in Billings, Montana, 33-year-old Paul Harris was enjoying a drink at a local bar when a lighthearted prank involving a bicycle spiraled out of control. What started as harmless fun between acquaintances triggered explosive rage in Ezdeth Highley. She waited outside in the darkness and stabbed Paul three times, killing him in an instant. Kelly Jennings uncovers every chilling detail: the seemingly innocent joke that ignited the violence, the troubled background of the perpetrator, the devastating toll on Paul's family and friends, and the shocking courtroom outcome that left many questioning justice.Timestamps06:49 Tension in the Bar10:18 The Prank Gone Wrong17:22 The Aftermath of Violence19:30 Understanding the Criminal22:01 The Cycle of Crime29:34 Consequences of Release34:44 Life After the Murder36:54 Transformation or Manipulation?

In the third hour of The Charlie James Show on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, the program focused on the legislative collapse of redistricting efforts in Columbia and a massive fraud scandal in North Carolina.Segment 9 & 10: SC Redistricting FailureInterview with Congressman William Timmons: Timmons joined the show to discuss the South Carolina Senate's failure to pass the redistricting vote earlier that day. While Timmons maintained that a "7-0" map (favoring Republicans in all seven districts) was a fantastic goal, he emphasized the need for "correct math" to avoid creating more problems in the future.Senate Vote Outcome: The push for a mid-decade redistricting effectively failed in the SC Senate because it could not reach the required two-thirds majority to extend the legislative session. Five Republican senators joined Democrats to block the move, meaning Rep. Jim Clyburn's Democratic-leaning 6th District will likely remain intact for the 2026 midterms.Segment 11: The "RINO" DebateRepublican Identity in SC: Following the redistricting failure, Charlie James questioned the identity of those who claim the "Republican" label in South Carolina but voted against the party's redistricting efforts. The segment criticized Senate leadership, specifically Shane Massey, for resisting pressure from both the House and President Trump, who had explicitly called on the Senate to "be bold and courageous".Segment 12: North Carolina Fraud ScandalsAutism Billing Surge: In North Carolina, State Auditor Dave Boliek recently flagged a staggering 47,000% increase in Medicaid billings for autism therapy over a five-year period. Billings skyrocketed from $1.4 million in 2020 to $660 million in 2025, prompting widespread concerns about massive systemic fraud.I.C.E. Fraud Bust: The segment also highlighted recent enforcement actions involving I.C.E. and federal investigators targeting fraud rings that have exploited state-funded programs

Billings West junior Jack Ryan has several ties to the Griz football program. That plus his affinity for the new UM coaching staff led him to commit to Montana in April of 2026. He joined Colter Nuanez on ESPN MT to discuss the decision.

On this week's ESPN Roundtable, Colter Nuanez is joined by the founder and publisher of the Extra Point newsletter Matt Brown to discuss the growing trend of postseason expansion across college sports, including March Madness potentially expanding from 68 to 76 teams and the recently announced expansion of the College Football Playoff from 16 to 24 teams. The two break down the implications of these changes and what they could mean for the future of college athletics.Next, Colter sits down with Billings native Jack Ryan to discuss his commitment to play football for the University of Montana and what it means to continue his career with the Grizzlies.

We consider Virginia's tumultuous rise to wealth and prominence as the so-called “Old Dominion” and one of the largest European settler colonies in the world –from the colony's dangerous stand in the English Civil War, through the subsequent demographic boom, and the codification of chattel slavery – as all the while, social tensions escalated, with the growing underclass of smallholders and landless laborers chafing against gentry rule. We disentangle how a trade dispute between planters and the Doeg Indian tribe on the Potomac River touched off a massive rebellion that overthrew the royal governor, laid waste to Jamestown and many of the great plantations, and threatened to destroy the English colonial enterprise, before order was restored, and the colony was set a new path towards becoming a slave society.

Virginia began from a small, undersupplied wooden fort immersed in a brackish and malarial marsh to become, after a 30 years, the largest and most valuable colony in North America, pulling in thousands of indentured workers and African slaves each year and pumping out millions of pounds of tobacco. In achieving this shocking metamorphosis, the colonists had to contend with the Powhatan Confederacy, one of the strongest indigenous states in the Americas, which ruled the Tidewater region; and they had to to choose among different forking paths that might have led to an entirely different relationship between Indians and English. We consider the unrealized possible histories that iconic figures like John Smith and Pocahontas came to symbllize, and the reasons why the English backers poured so many resources and human lives into this endeavor of conquest and colonization, ultimately supplanting Powhatan civilization and creating a cash-crop colony.

(Gabriel Pietrorazio) The FBI announced earlier this month that it is, once again, putting extra agents in the field to address a backlog of cold cases on tribal lands. As KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, this effort is part of a years-long joint initiative with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). Under Operation Not Forgotten, more law enforcement personnel will be filtering through nearly a dozen FBI field offices with close ties to Indian Country. Agents are being sent to cities like Phoenix, Ariz., Billings, Mont., Albuquerque, N.M., and Denver, Colo. Kevin Smith is with the FBI Phoenix Field Office. “A lot of our state is tribal territory. Right now, we're set for 14 agents.” The FBI is handling 4,100 active Indigenous criminal cases nationwide. Smith says Arizona's share is in the hundreds – including two high-profile ones for San Carlos Apache teen Emily Pike and 8-year-old Navajo Maleeka “Mollie” Boone. “Every case is unique, and every case takes the time that it takes.” The Alaska Supreme Court heard arguments last month on whether prisoners can be forcibly medicated with psychiatric drugs — without a court hearing and the right to a lawyer.

(Photo: Anne Hillman / Alaska Public Media) The Alaska Supreme Court heard arguments this month on whether prisoners can be forcibly medicated with psychiatric drugs — without a court hearing and the right to a lawyer. In the state corrections system, Alaska Native people are incarcerated at about twice the rate of white Alaskans. Alaska Public Media's Rachel Cassandra has more. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) brought the case against the Department of Corrections (DOC) on behalf of a prisoner, Mark Andrews. He says he has been unjustly drugged with powerful psychotropic medication for most of the last seven years, without due process or access to legal counsel. The Department policy currently allows prisoners to be drugged against their will if they are gravely disabled or are in imminent risk for harming themselves or others. Doron Levine is a lawyer for the ACLU. He argued at the hearing that the policy infringes on rights protected by the state constitution. “Few things are more personal than someone’s body, and arguably, nothing is more personal than a person’s mind. It’s the locus of a person’s identity, and it’s a last refuge of freedom for people who are incarcerated.” Under department policy, prisoners have the right to hearings every six months with department staff. And they have the right to appeal the decision to a department committee. The ACLU argues that Andrews did not have sufficient access to hearings or an appeal. Justice Jennifer Henderson questioned Kimber Rogers, the attorney representing DOC. Justice Henderson says the facts seem to suggest that the prisoner was denied the rights promised in the department's policy. Justice Henderson: “How do you respond to that?” Kimber Rogers: “Your Honor, I agree that there were definitely some problems, and Mr. Andrews’ hearings, but I don’t think that that’s important.” Henderson: “There were more than some problems. There were long periods of time where there were no hearings, for example.” Rogers: “Well, Your Honor, I would dispute that actually.” The ACLU lawyer argued that there should be a hearing in a courtroom because DOC staff may be biased to protect the institution over the person, but Rogers says a hearing inside prison is the best approach. When the Supreme Court issues a ruling, the decision could apply to the approximately 22 Alaska prisoners who are being forcibly drugged. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.
