Michael is moving to Missoula, so this one opens with a resignation and gets worse from there. A man in a garbage can is polling at 20% against Nigel Farage in Clacton, and his platform makes more sense than it should. Term limits, and the unelected career staff who actually run the machine. Early access to Truth Social posts for $60,000 to $100,000 a month. Trading firms have already signed up. A president clearing north of two billion in his first year back in office, and why the silence around it is deafening. A California mayor who pleaded guilty to working as an unregistered agent of China. A former Marine home after four years in a Russian prison. What prison is actually for. Punishment, incapacitation, rehabilitation, and where the line sits. A carrier at sea 250 days straight, what that does to 5,000 people with no end date, and the guy I watched grab a fire extinguisher and jump. Also: a four mile run, PT school, and a second wiener dog named Beans. Today's Sponsors:  Firecracker Farms:  https://www.firecracker.farm Tiny Health:  https://www.tinyhealth.com/clearedhot

Series: Galatians 5Main Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23a “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control"Synopsis: We live in a world engineered to make us impatient and it isn't just changing how long we'll wait for a package, it's changing how we treat the people around us. In this message we look at patience not as gritting your teeth and waiting, but as the "long fuse" of a God who is slow to anger and how the root of most of our impatience is simply a forgetful heart. When we lose sight of how much we've been forgiven, we lose our ability to bear with one another.August 9, 2026 • Tucker Parman• • • • • • • •.• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Join us for service in person and online every Sunday at 10am (MST) at the City Life Community Center in Missoula, MT.

Series: Galatians 5Sermon Title: The Source of PeaceMain Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23a “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control"Synopsis: We tend to think peace comes when everything finally settles down — when circumstances are going our way, when there's no conflict or tension in our relationships, when life is generally on our side. But true, biblical peace is different. In this message we trace how peace with God is the foundation for all peace, and examine two arenas where peace naturally is produced: peace with others, and the peace of God that guards our hearts even when nothing around us is calm.August 2, 2026 • Tucker Parman• • • • • • • •.• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Join us for service in person and online every Sunday at 10am (MST) at the City Life Community Center in Missoula, MT.

Greetings, Slushies! We're here with an encore episode today, one we chose for its excellent exploration of craft, including a discussion about the golden shovel and the definition of ambiguity. Listen in for that and for two poems from poet Marko Capoferri. Enjoy. Thanks, as always, for listening.   How do you pronounce “San Gorgonio,” Slushies? How do you say “Schuylkill?” We talk regional accents, local knowledge, and artistic craft-- from the risks of the pathetic fallacy to the unknowability of metaphor, the art of ambiguity, and, of course, the golden shovel. Join us for an episode devoted to poems by Marko Capoferri where we discuss poetic craft, resonant symbols, and the peculiar power of telephone poles.     What can't you pronounce where you live?    Links to things we discuss that you may dig:   Eula Biss's “Time and Distance Overcome”  Jennifer L. Knox's “Irwin Allen Vs. The Lion Tamer”    At the table: Katheleen Volk Miller, Marion Wrenn, Jason Schneiderman, Samantha Neugebauer, Larissa Morgano & Kate Wagner    This episode is brought to you by one of our sponsors, Wilbur Records, who kindly introduced us to the artist is A.M.Mills whose song “Spaghetti with Loretta” now opens our show.      Marko Capoferri is a poet, musician, and former conservation worker. He has lived and worked in eight US states, including Montana, where he has lived since 2015. He received an MFA in poetry from the University of Montana in Missoula. His work has appeared in The Shore, Painted Bride Quarterly, Porter House Review, and elsewhere.   Instagram: Instagram.com/markocapoferri  Two more recent publications: https://www.stoneboatwi.com/issue-14-2/capoferri https://sequestrum.org/contributor-spotlight-marko-capoferri     San Gorgonio    White paper coffee cups collect in drifts  by the freeway exit ramp—the hearts of ghosts  once held tight then tossed out the window  of a car speeding across the desert at four a.m.     trying to stay awake to see, when the light  came back, what the battered face of the land  could tell us about ourselves: how the mountains  were stark and risen; how we were sunk dumb     in between, a scathing plain of wind turbines  resonating unearthly as Amelia Earhart's flooded engines  chugging their final gasp on the ocean floor;    how the sea was here once and swallowed heights,     long since yawned and pulled away paving  this desert with a tired yellow dirt now blown  through our teeth, through our beating pistons,  and a few black rounded stones as souvenirs     from lost time; how thistle-studded towns  were hardly refuge; how the many stones  we had gathered were bright and jagged,  too young by design to tell any real story;     how lust and lost became an exchange in glances  through a motel's cracked facade; how these roads  kept on dressing down like lightning on a postcard  running fingers in the hot mouth of experience.     Self-portrait with Elegy     Just like we were on the Great Plains  in 1949, my father and I would gather  summer nights with neighbors  lining our country road to watch  constellations disbanding. Whether tragedy  or a tragic lack of imagination, it's hard  to say—he and I simply could not see  any threads or their severing. Then,  as now, telephone wires also lined the road  linking the night one lighted island  at a time, though the wires are now dead  gestures, props to a faded empire  of distant voices made close but never  close enough to turn that light  into warmth. What's left—sinking  into my own humidity, my own  expanse of darkness, and he  to his own. As you read this  it is surely a summer night some place  the land extends forever  until it gives up where the visible  begins to visibly waver, either  from the heat or from the failure  of the possibilities of sight.     

Three weeks after Jennifer Lichter set a new course record at Western States, her coach John Fitzgerald joins the Singletrack Podcast to break down how it happened. Fitzgerald coaches an elite squad out of Missoula for Carmichael Training Systems, and this year he guided Jen to the win along with Jeff Mogavero and Adam Peterman into the men's top ten.We get into the philosophy underneath the results: why consistency is a trainable skill, why willpower is a resource you can spend too early, and what he means when he says success is rented. Fitzgerald explains the mental shift that took Jen from a mountain 50K specialist to a 100-mile course record holder, the on-course training camps that prepared his athletes for every crux of the Western States course, race-day fueling improvisations, downhill running as a skill, and his case for simplicity in a sport chasing every new gadget and lab test.Partners:Precision Fuel and Hydration - use code SINGLETRACK at checkout for 15% off your next orderJanji - running apparel that goes the distanceRaide - Making equipment for efficient human-powered movement in the mountains Norda - check out the 005: the lightest, fastest, most stable trail racing shoe ever madeKodiak Cakes - my favorite oatmeal and pancakes Additional Links:Coaching ProfileInstagram: @ackfitzSupport the show

Meet Jordan Tripp; a Missoula native who had dreams of playing in the NFL from a young age and realized that dream when he was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in 2014. He has since turned that hard work and drive into a professional snowboard career along with working in real estate development.

On the first hour of Nuanez Now, Colter Nuanez opens the show by recapping a busy weekend in the sports world. He breaks down the British Open, where 39-year-old Ryan Fox captured the first major championship of his career, before turning his attention to the FIFA World Cup Final. Colter recaps Spain's dominant performance against Lionel Messi and Argentina, as Spain controlled much of the match before finally breaking through with a late goal to claim the World Cup title and deny Argentina a second consecutive championship.Next, Colter breaks down the Montana Mile and Montana 100, where all four races crowned new champions. He highlights an incredible finish in the women's 100 meters, where eighth-grader Iris Hancock sprinted to victory in 12.45 seconds, along with the other standout performances from one of Montana's premier track and field showcases.To wrap up the hour, Colter discusses one of the most remarkable moments in track and field history as Scotland's Josh Kerr breaks Hicham El Guerrouj's long-standing mile world record. Colter explains Kerr's "Project 222" training effort, which was built around the goal of running the mile in 222 seconds, and what the historic achievement means for the sport.

On the second hour of Nuanez Now, Colter Nuanez goes football-heavy, breaking down the recently released Big Sky Conference preseason polls, the latest in-state recruiting news, and several other storylines surrounding Montana, Montana State, and the rest of the conference. With the season rapidly approaching, Colter shares his thoughts on where the Grizzlies and Bobcats stack up, discusses the biggest questions heading into fall camp, and looks at what to expect from the Big Sky in 2026.

GAW   Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 Public   Show Titles   GOA GOALS Aug 1-2 in Iowa. https://goals.goa.org/ DEAR WLS Question from DustyBob Hey guys, I have been listening long enough to remember when savage would bubba stuff together. Can that happen again? So the real question is what is the best non-AR semi auto rifle chambered in 5.56? Question from Scott H Greetings to the best gun podcast ever. My dad lives in another state and wants to pass down a gun to me. I can bring it back with me after visiting him and deal with the airlines. Have him ship it to an FFL by me. Or I can get a C & R license thru the ATF and he can ship it directly to me because the gun is over 50 years old and has collector value. What would you guys do? Question from AinYourFace This last year I have been playing (poor) with some night vision. Specifically a Sionyx Pro with a helmet mount setup (mono only). I mainly use it walking at night and stalk hunting pigs. I know there are better setups, but my question is more about aiming with night vision. I currently use a rifle mounted IR laser as my point of aim. It works, but is there a better sighting setup or are lasers the way to go when using some type of helmet mounted nods. #SSB #Finding myself agreeing with Jerambe too much these days Question from JoeMama I was a decent pistol shooter out to 25 yards with no issues and consistent. I went to the range after 6 months of no range time and I'm jerking the trigger and my groups have gotten horrible. I can't seem to shake these issues. What would be the best way to shake these bad habits that have popped up? Question from Matt A What's the casts thoughts on the company and model of AmmoSquared? When doing research on ammo, most instructors and even content creators say shoot and try the ammo you plan to use and carry, which I totally agree with. This is why I'm asking my question. With AmmoSquared, they stockpile different manufacturers' ammo for you based upon your selection of the type of ammo you want, such as “practice, practice special, defense, or defense special”, and among the inventory stockpiled for you, you could get a mixture of 124 grain, 115 grain, and some +p boxes of ammo, all from various manufacturers. I get in the situation of the SHTF, any ammo will be used ammo, especially if there were to be an ammo shortage, but still curious about the crew's thoughts because all the ads I've seen for the business make it sound like you pick the ammo you want and they just store it for you. Thanks for the feedback, love the show. Question from non anonymous brave person from oh Do you guys have any recommendations on a good backpack to combine EDC and work? I currently run two separate bags, one is my work bag with files, tablet, work supplies, and one is my murse that has my gun, first aid, phone chargers and whatnot. I would like to consolidate into one bag so I can carry my gun with me and so I don't look like I'm moving out every time I leave my house. My work bag isn't CCW friendly and I don't want to just toss the gun in there and my murse is too small to carry my work shit. So I need to combine the two into one bag that has some sort of concealed carry pocket I can secure the gun as well as hold my tablet and files. Do you have any hands on experience with Eberlestock or Vertx or any other brands in the similar category? I don't want to blindly drop a couple hundred on a bag and it potentially be the wrong one.

Fresh off a record-breaking performance at the 2026 Western States 100, Jennifer Lichter joins the podcast to share the story behind one of the most impressive breakthroughs in ultrarunning. Jenn won Western States in 15:28:05, breaking Courtney Dauwalter’s course record in her very first 100-mile race. Just a few months earlier, she won Black Canyon 100K and set another course record in her debut at that distance. In this conversation, Jenn reflects on the race itself, the mindset it took to stay present over 100 miles, and how she handled the pressure of chasing history. She also opens up about her childhood in Colombia, being adopted and moving to the United States, and how those experiences shaped the resilience and gratitude that define both her life and her running. We also talk about training with coach John Fitzgerald, her nutrition strategy, racing after battling a stomach bug just days before Western States, and what comes next as she looks toward the future.
