Trent Hancock is the former head breeder for Creswell Oreganics and a former owner in Crater Enterprises. In 1998 he started indoor growing in Portland's legendarycannabis community and went on to build his first commercial grow in Montana in 2008. Trent spent the next eight years in Montana consulting the largest indoor cannabis facilities in the country at the time, prior to Colorado 2014. Realizing that large scale commercial grows had bug and mold problems that were nearly impossible to control without spraying flowering plants, he starteddeveloping a controlled air system that prevented the need for spraying. In 2014, Trent teamed up withShayney Norick and her medical cannabis company in Montana. Gaining the space and ability to refine his air system, he utilized his Navy Seabee Dad's low voltage electronics experience to build his first control panel. This was thefirst control panel ever built that brings in high volumes of fresh air while running high altitude temperature algorithms, and no need for pesticides.After decades of knowledge and experience in the legacy and medical marijuana arenas, he is a qualityand testing expert.  

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/822 Presented By: Pescador on the Fly Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors From shoulder surgery rehab to 10 guiding seasons across Rock Creek, the Blackfoot, and the Big Hole, Montana guide and photographer Drew Baker shares how he turned days on the oars into a career behind the lens. In this episode, Drew shows why the best Montana fly fishing photography tips aren't about megapixels—they're about telling a real story on the water. You'll learn how to capture authentic moments (not just grip-and-grins), build a simple kit that travels well, and plan your shots so you protect fish and still come home with wall-worthy images. We also dig into summer strategy across Montana, when to pivot rivers, and the underrated power of the point-and-shoot in your waders. Show Notes with Drew Baker on Fly Fishing Photography 02:57 - Drew shared how photography became his focus, noting that breaking into the hunting industry was easier than fly fishing since many fishing content creators were established early, but his passion for photos began with fly fishing.  04:30 - He recounted how rehabbing a shoulder surgery in college led him to daily fly fishing, on the advice of his physical therapist, which eventually turned into guiding in 2015.  06:08 - Drew explained that Philipsburg, Montana offers access within 90 minutes to major rivers like the Bitterroot, Blackfoot, Clark Fork, Big Hole, and Beaverhead, giving guides flexibility depending on flows and client lodging. 07:19 - He described guiding on the upper 14 miles of Rock Creek, where outfitters without Forest Service permits are restricted, and how this stretch provides prime opportunities close to town. 09:11 - Drew talked about his collaboration with Jeff from Pescador on the Fly, capturing lifestyle product photography and storytelling video while fishing on the Missouri.  10:28 - He discussed filming Happy Hustle masterminds, where entrepreneurs combine survival skills, fishing, and camping with business problem-solving, which has shaped how he organizes his own guiding and photography business. 14;21 - Drew explained that while phones can work for casual anglers, carrying a small point-and-shoot camera can inspire more creativity and story-driven photos. 16:19 - He detailed his pro setup: two Sony bodies, one wide-angle lens for scenery and one telephoto for wildlife or tight fishing shots, since swapping lenses mid-float risks water damage. 18:12 - On the Pescador shoot, Drew used his Sony A7 IV, a wide and tight lens, a DJI Pocket 3 gimbal camera for stabilized boat footage, and a drone to capture varied perspectives. 19:58 - He described how gimbals stabilize video, eliminating distracting shake, and why the DJI Pocket 3 has become a game-changer for filming on water.  22:03 - Drew highlighted the DJI Pocket 3's “creator combo,” which includes a wireless mic with 10-bit float audio, ensuring clear sound even in high wind conditions. 24:31 - He emphasized must-have accessories like a circular polarizer filter to cut water glare, an air puffer to clear droplets before wiping a lens, and a waterproof camera bag to safely store gear but keep it accessible. 26:46 - Drew encouraged anglers to document the whole story of a day-sunrise, fly selection, facial expressions, net shots, and release rather than just grip-and-grin photos. 31:22- When asked whether photography or video tells a better story, Drew chose photography, explaining that a single strong image can convey a complete narrative.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela open with headlines that range from a bizarre FBI mishap at a Montana animal shelter to the strange turns of daily news. The panel then dives into the controversy surrounding Tilly Norwood, the world's first AI-generated “actress,” unveiled at the Zurich Film Festival. They examine the ethical concerns raised by talent agencies considering representation for a digital performer, highlighting the lingering tension from the SAG-AFTRA strikes. From there, the conversation expands into a broader look at artificial intelligence—its creative limitations, its impact on originality, and the risk of technology reshaping entire industries. Shifting gears, the hosts turn to conservative activist Brilyn Hollyhand, questioning his sudden rise and drawing comparisons to the kind of branding that blurs authenticity in politics. The discussion then moves into public art, as the group reacts to a series of controversial celebrity statues, exploring how tributes can sometimes drift into unintentional parody.

Amy Wroe Bechtel disappeared on July 24, 1997, in the small town of Lander, Wyoming. A 24-year-old newlywed and avid runner, Amy set out for a jog on a rural loop in the Wind River Mountains and never returned. Her car was found abandoned at a turnout along the road, and her keys, wallet, and other personal belongings were left inside. The search that followed was massive—hundreds of volunteers, search dogs, helicopters, and divers scoured the rugged terrain—but no trace of Amy was ever found. Her disappearance shook the close-knit community and quickly drew national attention.Suspicion soon fell on her husband, Steve Bechtel, a climbing enthusiast, after investigators discovered a troubling journal entry where he had written about violence toward women. Though he denied involvement and has never been charged, the cloud of suspicion has followed him for decades. Other theories emerged, including the possibility that Amy was abducted by a stranger or fell victim to serial killer Dale Wayne Eaton, who was active in Wyoming at the time. Yet none of these leads ever produced answers. Nearly three decades later, Amy's case remains unsolved, a haunting mystery that continues to weigh heavily on her family and on the town of Lander.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comTonya Teske, a 16-year-old from Billings, Montana, vanished on October 11, 2001, after telling her parents she was going for a walk. She never returned home. Within days, her body was discovered in a wooded area on the outskirts of town, sparking an outpouring of grief and fear across the community. Investigators determined that Tonya had been strangled, and the brutality of the crime shocked her classmates and neighbors. For a time, her murder looked like it might be quickly solved, as authorities pursued leads and interviewed those closest to her.But the case soon grew cold. Despite various theories and investigative efforts, no one has ever been charged with her killing. Over the years, her name has surfaced in discussions about unsolved crimes in Montana, with some speculating whether a serial predator could have been involved. Others point to missed opportunities in the early investigation that might have left crucial evidence unexplored. Today, more than two decades later, Tonya's murder remains officially unsolved, an open wound for her family and a reminder of the fragility of justice in cases where answers never come.“Lil Miss Murder” refers to the long-unsolved killing of Lisa Marie Kimmell, an 18-year-old from Billings, Montana, who vanished in March 1988 while driving to visit her boyfriend in Wyoming. Nicknamed “Lil Miss” because of her personalized black Honda CRX license plate, Lisa was last seen in Casper, Wyoming, after a routine traffic stop. A week later, her body was discovered in the North Platte River near Casper; she had been brutally assaulted and murdered. For years, the case baffled investigators and haunted both her family and the wider region, as no suspect was ever firmly identified despite widespread coverage and multiple leads.The mystery stretched on for over a decade until advances in DNA testing finally provided a break. In 2002, authorities connected evidence from Lisa's case to Dale Wayne Eaton, a drifter with a violent history, who was later convicted and sentenced to death for her murder. Eaton's property even revealed a buried vehicle that some believed to be Lisa's missing car. Though his death sentence was overturned in 2014 due to procedural issues, Eaton remains in prison, and many believe he may have been responsible for other disappearances in the region. Lisa's case became one of the most notorious in Wyoming history, a chilling reminder of how long justice can be delayed, and why her haunting nickname—“Lil Miss Murder”—still echoes decades later.bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Send us a textThis week, Big Rich sits down with rising Ultra4 racer Matthew Slyngstad. Born and raised in San Jose, Matthew shares how a teenage speeding ticket steered him into a slow Jeep—and a fast off-road life. From cello and wrestling in high school to wrenching summers in the family construction business, he built the fabrication chops that power his racing today.Highlights: ·       Early days: Bay Area roots, yearbook photo editor, wrestling, and a love for the outdoors. ·       Montana years: slower pace, more dirt—fishing, wheeling, and hunting. - Dogs and discipline: competing in Schutzhund with a powerhouse German Shepherd. – ·       First Jeep mods: rock sliders as his first welding project; Rubicon trips that sparked bigger builds. ·       Ultra4 entry: mentored by Jack Taggart and welcomed into Jason Scherer's Rage 4 team; pit crew to Baja 1000 with Ford's programs. ·       The leap to racing: buying a 4800 car just weeks before KOH 2025; pre-running, shock tuning, and sponsor hustling. ·       Race day rollercoaster: comms failure at the start, blazing desert pace, a boulder impact and broken rear upper link, pit heroics—and a proud finish, 18th in class. – Shoutout to the entire Rage 4th crew—and old-school legend Jeff Mello—for making the dream real.Support the show

We attempt to preview Week 6 and determine our Sickos Committee Game of the Week. We look at the Beavers and App State's turnover problems, Miami Ohio and NIU, wonder if San Diego State can only score points at home, the Battle of the Belt, Deacons and interim bump Hokies, Clemson at UNC and Chapel Thrill's Ludacris morning concert, Army/UAB, have no idea what is going to happen in Kansas State at Baylor, BC and Pitt, the all-new GMC FIUConn, OWL VS OWL (screeching sound), and ULM at Northwestern.

NOTICE: This weekly show is now part of the "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" daily podcast, which you can find at SiouxFallsLive.com, MidwestSportsPlus.com, and most podcast platforms like the one you find here! So, if you enjoy the topics Matt & John cover, you'll get those topics, plus relevant local guests, every Monday through Thursday on Happy Hour... so we highly recommend you check that out! Winners win, because that's what winners do.That has been the slogan for University of Sioux Falls football ever since Bob Young started the 30-year tradition of winning seasons — with only one exception — 30 years ago. It is a slogan Kalen DeBoer, then a USF star receiver, carried into his 67-3 head coaching stint after replacing Young in 2005 and then eventually as head coach at Fresno State, Washington, and Alabama (combined 57-14 record).On Saturday night in Montana and Monday night at Soldier Field, "winners win" applied to both South Dakota State quarterback Chase Mason and Minnesota Vikings signal caller J.J. McCarthy, who won state titles as high school quarterbacks. (McCarthy was 27-1 as a starter at Michigan).Both experiencing their first road games in hostile environments as their team's new starting QB, Mason and McCarthy overcame mostly-unproductive offense outputs in the first three quarters to account for three touchdowns each when it counted most — Mason with three TD strikes in the fourth quarter and overtimes and McCarthy firing two fourth quarter scoring darts, then running in the game-winning score in Chicago.In their weekly klatch over cocktails at Gateway Lounge in Sioux Falls, Happy Hour host John Gaskins and Sioux Falls Live sports editor Matt Zimmer broke down the "it" factor that propelled these two quarterbacks to massive, clutch wins. Zimmer then dives into other aspects of an impressive 2-0 SDSU start — a stout defense, breakout wideout Lofton Groske, and Dan Jackson's leadership.Meanwhile, it has been a miserable mess for former Jacks QB Mark Gronowski at Iowa. Why? Hear why Zim thinks it has more to do with the Hawkeyes than the "Million Dollar Man."Things are no better for USD's Aidan Bouman, who surely missed three outstanding linemen and elite skill weapons no longer at his disposal as he struggled in losses at Iowa State and Lamar. Should we lower expectations for the Coyotes now?And don't get Zim started on "Phillies Karen."

Maps, Mountain Lions, and the Larger Story Season Five kicks off with Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings reflecting on where the journey has taken them—and where it's going next. Surrounded by memorabilia, laughter, and memories, they introduce the guiding theme for this new season: understanding the larger story through the lens of maps, spiritual reality, and the battle between light and darkness. From tales of mountain lions in Montana to metaphors pulled from The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, this episode invites listeners to reframe how they see their lives—not as random or isolated, but as part of a greater narrative shaped by love, war, and redemption. Michael and SJ emphasize the centrality of the heart in that story, the importance of spiritual awareness, and the need to know where you are and where you're headed. This season, the podcast will explore Zoweh's Map of the Larger Story, offering listeners tools, truth, and orientation to help them navigate life in both the physical and spiritual realms. We hope you enjoy this episode and invite you to connect with us!

Episode 143: Do They Still Have Bulletin Boards?     Our discussion of Alyx Chandler's poems has us considering the liminal space between girlhood and womanhood, summer and fall, print and digital cultures, good bug and bad, Slushies. With these poems, we're swooning over summer's lushness, marveling over kudzu's inexorable march, and thinking back to steamy afternoons running through sprinklers with skinned knees. Set at the end of girlhood, these poems makes us think of the Melissa Febos book of the same name. Jason is charmed by the poet's hypotactic syntax and her control of the line. Be sure to take a look at the poems' format at PBQmag.org.     As our own summers wrap up, Lisa saves monarch caterpillars while Sam smushes lantern flies. Kathy shares her new secret for a solid eight hours of sleep. Looking to the future, we're celebrating forthcoming chapbooks and books. Dagne's chapbook “Falldown Lane” from Whittle, Jason's book “Teaching Writing Through Poetry,”  and Kathy's “Teaching Writing Through Journaling,” both from a new series Kathy is editing at Bloomsbury. As always, thanks for listening.      At the table: Dagne Forrest, Samantha Neugebauer, Jason Schneiderman, Kathleen Volk Miller, Lisa Zerkle          Author bio: Alyx Chandler (she/her) is a poet from the South who now teaches in Chicago. She received her MFA in poetry at the University of Montana, where she was a Richard Hugo Fellow and taught poetry. In 2025, she won the Three Sisters Award in Poetry with Nelle Literary Journal, received a Creative Catalyst grant from the Illinois Arts Council, and was awarded for residencies at Ragdale and Taleamor Park.

Once I Lived in a Town    where grocery stores dispensed  ammunition from automated machines,    all you needed was an ID and license, the sign advertised, but there are ways    around that, a cashier told me, snuff a bulge  half-cocked in his cheek. But my target?    The choose-your-own-adventure  bulletin board. If you were brave,   you'd let some guy named John shoot  you with their dad's old Nikon film   camera. Girls only. No tattoos, the ink of the red-lettered flyer bled. Those days    I craved someone—anyone—to lock and load my rough-hewn beauty like    a cold weapon. Ripen the fruit of  my teenage face. Save me. Instead I   washed the ad in my too-tight jeans, let it dye my pocket grapefruit pink.    Once I lived in a town where daily I wore a necklace with a dragonfly wing    cured in resin, gifted from a lover,  a lifelong bug hater. Love can live in    the crevice of disgust, I found, but  lost it within the swaths of poison oak    where I shot my first bullet into wide- open sky and felt death echo its curious    desire, automatic as the gun's kickback.  My legs mottled in pocked rash. Then a    hole I didn't know existed. A souring.  Bitter and salt the only taste craved,    a rotten smell in the fried fatback I ate.  Once I lived in a town where the first    boy I kissed in the wreathed doorway of my childhood home left Earth too   soon from a single shot. I can't ask: is this what the military taught him? I only   know the cruel way high school relationships  end, 5-word text then never again. His fine-   line dragon doodles and i-love-you notes  still in my Converse shoe box in an attic,   twelve years untouched. I once lived in  a town where obits never contained   the word “suicide”—everyone is a child of Christ, and I mean everyone, our pastor   used to say, a joke staining his sincerity.  God, how I undercompensate, use safety   pins for my grief when I need weapons-grade  resistance, a cast-iron heart. Once I lived   in a town where I found a primed handgun under the bed of a boy I cheated with.   Delirious, I buried it in a dumpster until he cried that it was his great-grandfather's,   an heirloom he couldn't forget or forgive and after that I never saw him again. I didn't   have the language to ask him what I needed to know, Prozac newly wired in my brain,   a secret I could barely contain. Once I  crushed my trigger finger between the   door of who I wanted to be and who I actually was; I let that town press me    like a camellia between a book, inadequate  as a cartoon-decorated band aid trying to   stop the blood flow from a near-miss bullet. The Brooder   beneath nest boxes a squawk sinks out  so docile it turns me over both startles and   settles me this sudden birdbrain  how domestication is a brawl    inside me: the cockatrice papering my chicken heart with pockets of wire  I peel back its cuticle remove the bloom   to clean the coop   and find a little yolkless moon  an eyeball I push open and memorize then chuck over my roof   until a hen digs a crack with her beak breaks speckled curtains    of turquoise consumes her newest creation without pity or pause

Esta historia se trata del asombro de la migración otoñal de las aves. El movimiento de miles de millones de aves hacia el sur a lo largo del continente norteamericano es tan enorme que es difícil de imaginar, imposible de comprender. Sin embargo, hay algunos atisbos: las bandadas del otoño, las aves del verano ya ausentes sin decir adiós, las llamadas sip y chip de cientos de gorriones migratorios en la maleza. Esta historia es muy especial para mí—y aún más porque es mi última antes de tomar una pausa por un rato. He compartido unos detalles más sobre eso al final del episodio. Como siempre, esta historia te sumerge en los sonidos de las aves que grabé en el campo: desde Montana, los sonidos del zanate norteño (Quiscalus quiscula), chinito (Bombycilla cedrorum), gorrión corona blanca (Zonotrichia leucophrys), chipe rabadilla amarilla (Setophaga petechia), gorrión garganta blanca (Zonotrichia albicollis), chipe de pechera (Geothlypis philadelphia), una bandada de varios gorriones, tecolote del este (Megascops asio), gorrión pantanero (Melospiza georgiana) y pinzón colorado (Haemorhous purpureus). Y desde Oaxaca, México, las llamadas agudas de un colibrí garganta rubí (Archilochus colubris).Producir un podcast independiente no es fácil, y eso es una de las razones por las que quiero tomar una pausa.

This month's story is about the wonder of fall migration. The southward movement of billions of birds across the North American continent is so vast that it's hard to imagine, impossible to comprehend. But there are glimpses: the fall flocks, the birds of summer gone without a goodbye, the sips and cheeps of hundreds of migratory sparrows from the weeds.This story is really special to me—and extra special because it's my last one before I go on hiatus for a while. I've shared some more details about that towards the end of the episode.As usual, this story is an immersive soundscape with lots of bird sounds that I recorded in the field: from Montana, sounds of common grackle (Quiscalus quiscula), cedar waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum), white-crowned sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys), yellow-rumped warbler (Setophaga petechia), white-throated sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis), mourning warbler (Geothlypis philadelphia), various sparrows in a flock, eastern screech-owl (Megascops asio), swamp sparrow (Melospiza georgiana), and purple finch (Haemorhous purpureus). And from Oaxaca, the sharp calls of a ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris).Independent podcasting isn't easy, which is one of the reasons I'm taking a break for a while. In the meanwhile, all of the ways that you support this show remain greatly appreciated! Spreading the word about the podcast is huge, and leaving a rating helps too.

UW-River Falls faculty, staff, and a recent graduate traveled to Thailand this summer to learn about the country’s growing dairy industry and explore collaboration opportunities. Supported by a state grant, the project focused on building connections and even designing a Wisconsin dairy product suitable for export to Thailand, explains Grace Lewis. Today is actually the coolest of the days ahead for World Dairy Expo, according to the Compeer Financial Ag Weather Update with Stu Muck. Andy Grebner, District Sales Manager for Wyffels Hybrids in south central Wisconsin, says corn harvest is just getting started in the area. Wyffels is offering a new tool for farmers to get real-time insights into the corn harvest with their Harvest Progress Report. Paid for by Wyffels. Mike Berry, from Powell Butte, Oregon, makes a 5,000-mile round trip to Madison each year for World Dairy Expo. He's taken this journey more than 20 times since the mid-1990s. This year, he brought five show cows, making frequent stops along the way to feed, water, milk, and bed them. He’s built lasting friendships with small dairies in Montana, South Dakota, and Wisconsin, where he can stop to milk and let the cows rest. Haley Beukema, Digital Marketing Specialist for World Dairy Expo, played a key role in creating this year’s showring under the theme ‘The Road to Madison,’ which was developed 18 months ago. She shares what it was like to design her first showring and hints that the team already has next year’s theme in the works.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In celebrating the 400th Episode of Your Stories Don't Define You How You Tell Them Will, Sarah Elkins ruminates on the many lessons and gifts she has been given throughout her journey as a podcaster, an entrepreneur, and a person. From returning to what truly matters, to reciprocating the good and beautiful things in life.    Highlights What goals have you met that still shock you? What are you reflecting on and have you made amendments to others and yourself? How do you reciprocate in your relationships? Especially in the relationship with yourself. Are you surrounding yourself with the people who help build you? Who reciprocates your intentions? How do you hold space for the stories of those around you?   Quotes “She thinks about it in terms of returning to our core goodness. She believes this is our opportunity to return, find, and bring our hearts back to that core in action.” “When I receive, what am I giving in return? When I give, what am I receiving in return?” “Stop chasing people who don't treat you the way you deserve to be treated.” “Everything we do has consequences. Everything we do is reciprocal.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What words do you infuse in your life, relationships, and actions? What role does reciprocity play for you? And what was one thing in this episode that's so sticky that you will change something; behavior, actions, or maybe something in your internal dialogue?    And, as always, thank you for listening.    Mentioned in This Episode Montana Jewish Project Braiding Sweetgrass The Blessing of A Skinned Knee   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

The Trump administration is ending an annual nationwide hunger survey. Montana's statewide foodbank says it's a deeply concerning development that will make it harder to assess needs and gauge the effectiveness of food aid programs.

Many of Montana's wheat producers have struggled with drought for five straight years. Now they're facing economic headwinds because of President Trump's tariffs.

My guest today, Kit Karson, is the author a series of books, The Anderson Chronicles: A Sheriff Elliott Mystery, which currently comprises five novels, including: Land Grab, Innocence Slain, Justice Rendered, Nefarious Intent, and Savage Malice. All five take place in a small Montana town. Interestingly, as prolific as Kit is as an author, writing is not her principal occupation.Born and raised in the mountains of western Montana, Kit spent her childhood traipsing around forests, streams, and meadows, either on foot or horseback, exploring, fishing, and shooting. After earning undergraduate degrees in Medical Technology and professional Microbiology, she ultimately earned a Master of Science from the University of North Dakota. Subsequently, Kit spent more than 3 decades under a microscope as a medical technologist and lab manager for various medical, hospital, and health care facilities. She's currently a laboratory director at Granite County Medical Center. I've read Nefarious Intent, the 4th book in the Anderson Chronicles Mystery series, and can tell you it's an engrossing, page-turning thriller that kept me wanting to know how the intricate puzzle would unravel.  If you like mysteries set outside of urban landscapes, I highly recommend Kit's books to you.Kit's website: https://www.kitkarson.comFacebook: facebook.com/kitkarsonauthorTwitter: twitter.com/kitkarson11

Send us a textThis month we read and review The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones. Like all of our reviews, the first part is spoiler free.Here's a little about The Buffalo Hunter Hunter:From the New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good Indians comes a tale of the American West, writ in blood.This chilling historical novel is set in the nascent days of the state of Montana, following a Blackfeet Indian named Good Stab as he haunts the fields of the Blackfeet Nation looking for justice.It begins when a diary written in 1912 by a Lutheran pastor is discovered within a wall in 2012. What is unveiled is a slow massacre, a nearly forgotten chain of events that goes back to 217 Blackfeet dead in the snow, told in the transcribed interviews with Good Stab, who shares the narrative of his peculiar and unnaturally long life over a series of confessional visits.This is an American Indian revenge story, captured in the vivid voices of the time, by one of the new masters of literary horror, Stephen Graham Jones.Do you have a book you'd like us to review on this show?

Ansley Hutchinson & Tess Menzies from the Boredwalk content team and Boredwalk founder Meredith Erin are back in your earballs to recap and comment on the latest embarrassments of the regime, including (but in no way limited to): • The FBI's poorly executed disposal of two pounds of methamphetamine using the incinerator in a Montana animal shelter, exposing animals and human workers to meth fumes and sending 14 staffers to the hospital.  • ICE's racist and unlawful arrest and detention of South Korean citizens that were in the U.S. legally to set up factories and train U.S. workers on how to operate and maintain them. This episode of incompetence scuttled a trade deal that will cost the U.S. economy $350 billion dollars and thousands of jobs for U.S. workers in states that overwhelmingly voted for this clown car of incompetence. • Exploiting the murder of Charlie Kirk to curtail First Amendment protections; you know, the opposite of what noted champion of hate speech Charlie Kirk was all about. • Engaging in historical revisionism by eliminating studies from the Department of Justice's website that don't fit the MAGA narrative that political violence overwhelmingly comes from the left. The desiccated corpse of Joseph Stalin called and would like Donald to stop biting his moves. Our hosts then check in on the latest dispatches from Troll-sylvania, and a review for our new Sinister Affirmations card deck! In an effort to take things out on a high note, our hosts wrap up the episode by trading answers to questions pulled from our Delve Deck conversation card sets! This week we answer the questions "what was the worst job you've ever had?", "what do people often wrongly assume about you?", and "what's something you like that might surprise people who know you?" Thanks for stopping by to hang out, commiserate, and (hopefully) laugh with us!

At 11:00 a.m. on November 6, 2001, a customer arrived at the Hair Gallery salon in Florence, Montana, for her appointment with owner Dorothy Harris. As she walked up, she noticed a man in a dark suit and a hat - described as either a fedora or a stovepipe - in front of the salon. She didn't think much of it until she stepped inside and discovered a horrific scene. Dorothy, her employee Brenda Patch, and their customer Cynthia Paulus had all been brutally murdered. When investigators heard about the man in the hat, they believed he was likely the killer. But despite multiple sketches and an intensive search, he has never been identified. More than 20 years later, the murders of Dorothy, Brenda, and Cynthia remain unsolved, and investigators are still searching for the person, or people, responsible.

This week's IMPACT SHOW episode is something special. I'm coming to you LIVE from Christian Unified High School's Chapel Service where I had the honor of speaking to 800+ middle and high school students. Man, I LOVE firing up the youth and speaking LIFE into the next generation. There's nothing like the energy of a room full of young champions ready to grow, learn, and chase greatness. Regardless of age though, today's message will most likely resonate deeply. In this powerful chapel talk, I share a few of my favorite Words That Will Change Your Life—words that can shape your character, strengthen your faith, and fuel your dreams. We're talking about words like: Integrity – Doing what's right when no one is watching. Inspire – Speaking life and light into others. Truth – Getting into God's Word every single day. Sacrifice – Giving up something now for something greater later. I'M-Possible – Turning the impossible into I'm possible through faith. Belief – Choosing to believe in God's plan and the truth over the lies. Get Your Mind Right – Stacking wins daily through habits, training, and living inspired. Whether you're a student, parent, coach, or entrepreneur, these words aren't just for kids—they're for ALL of us. If you've been searching for a spark, some encouragement, or a spiritual reset, this episode will light you up from the inside out. Enjoy. If this message indeed fires you up, please share it forward. Send the podcast link to a student, athlete, or young person who needs some inspiration today.
