Other highlights include a ranking of the Aftermath cast members’ looks, Natalie’s recollection of staging the infamous Hue Jackson sangria photo and a breakdown of the glorious Al Michaels/Aftermath love affair.

Podcast: August 6th, 2018, the Public Lands Council (PLC) celebrates its 50th anniversary. Since its incorporation in 1968, PLC has served as a vital source for the West on Capitol Hill around the country. The Public Lands Council is rumored to have begun at the iconic Old Ebbitt Grill in Washington, D.C., where public lands ranching leaders first discussed the need for a centralized advocate for western cattle and sheep producers. Wyoming rancher Jim Magagna is well versed in the PLC's 50-year history. Magagna is the Executive Vice President of the Wyoming Stockgrowers Association and a past president of both the PLC and American Sheep Industry Association. On today's LaneCast, Jim shares the history of how two ranchers from Montana and New Mexico saw the need of a voice for public lands ranchers in Washington D.C. In addition, we discuss the changes public land ranches have seen over the last 50 years and what the next 5 decades will look like. http://publiclandscouncil.org/?event=plc-annual-meeting&event_date=2018-09-27 Music by audionautix.com
