Score Unique Treasures at Shuttered Montana Bowling Alley Auction
Regardless of the circumstances, we hate seeing local Montana businesses close their doors. These mom-and-pop closures always seem to hit a little harder in small towns and surely the folks in Big Timber are not happy that they no longer have a bowling alley. The City Club Steakhouse, Lanes &...

Why Montanans Are Being Encouraged to Wear Body Cameras
Montanans are being encouraged to wear body cameras just like law enforcement may wear. Here's why. Do you see those people standing on the street corner desperately trying to get you to sign their petition? The best one-liner piece of advice we've heard is "decline to sign" when it comes to these shady ballot initiative signature gathering efforts.
“Crap You Play”? Let’s Talk Radio Requests
The music that radio stations play is something that I've fought with management about since I got into this business. It's what the company is pushing and trying to sell versus what I think listeners actually want to hear. I've even been written up for not playing the "scheduled music."
Beach vs. Mountains: Round 2 – Mountains Lose?
You might recall a few weeks ago I did an article on Beach or Mountains. Well, I think the question has been answered. They are getting so many people at Mt. Fuji that they have now implemented a reservation requirement. With too many people at one time, they will now only allow 4,000 people per day. A lot of this is brought on by inconsiderate people who ruin it for everyone else. They are having such a problem with garbage and other refuse left behind that they had to do something.

Montana Constitution: Treason and War
A caller exasperated upon me one morning, paraphrasing, "I don't want to be on the air. But I haven't heard the word 'Treason' being mentioned lately. Why are we not charging them with Treason?" "Because we're not at war!" I responded curtly. Then thanked her for calling and hung up...

Tatanka: The Making of His Perfect Montana Cigar
I had the honor of joining Cascade County Sheriff Jesse Slaughter on his Pursuit Podcast last Fall. Afterwards, we got to talking about cigars. He told me about Ken Weinheimer, the owner of Rocky Mountain Liquor, and how he set out to create the perfect cigar. I'm not the biggest...

Newcomers & Naysayers: The Great Montana Migration Debate
So why are they coming here? I had a chance to go to Bozeman over the weekend, and the growth they are experiencing is remarkable. The town is growing faster than it can accommodate, expanding so rapidly from people coming in from all over who can now work from home and want a great place to live and raise a family.
Why You Can’t be in a Hurry to Boat in Yellowstone or Glacier
If you're summer plans involving boating on one of the beautiful lakes in Yellowstone or Glacier National Parks in 2024, you'd better plan ahead. That's because the parks have imposed a 30-day quarantine for sailboats, and some types of motorboats in 2024. It's all part of tougher new regulations to...

An ambitious project has started in Rosebud, Montana. Tim and Nadine Durham acquired a home and property near the Yellowstone River with a mission well underway to renovate it all into a retreat and recovery center for Veterans in crisis.

The additions bring MSO's direct flight total to 14 with some of those flights year-round and some seasonal. Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington are the states in rotation.
Tiny Montana Cabin Has a Staggering $15 Million Price Tag
Super-expensive real estate in Montana isn't a rarity. We've all seen listings for sprawling mansions like those at Big Sky. Properties tucked into the pines along the shores of Flathead Lake frequently have multi-million dollar price tags and huge ranches like the Sitka Ranch in Paradise Valley can easily command eight figures.
Four Colors to Avoid Wearing in MT Unless You Love Mosquitos
Mosquitos, oh how we hate thee. Depending on where you live in Montana, you either have mosquitos already, OR they are just days away from seemingly springing out of nowhere and ruining your outdoor experience until October. I live near Billings and so far this spring (as of 5/20/24), I can sit outside on my deck all night without a single mosquito bite.
Watch Kyle Busch Get Punched in the Face During Epic NASCAR Fight
NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. punched Kyle Busch in the face, but the internet is just as excited about what happened — and was said — afterward. There are so many layers to the post All-Star race brawl at North Wilkesboro Speedway that are worth zooming in on.
