To quote one of the many text messages I received Wednesday, what the hell is happening in Montana?!?!?!
First it was Rep. Ryan Zinke announcing he wouldn't run for reelection days before the deadline to file in Montana. Not to be outdone, Sen. Stev... more

Part of the justification given for... more

Love this show with its Montana connections and a worldly view of today’s crazy events! Thank you!
Love this show.
But please organize the podcasts differently.
First, most recent at the top, so we don’t need to scroll through a bunch of old podcasts to find the most recent.
Second, it would be nice if you could find a way to date the podcasts so if I listen to older podcasts I have an idea when they were created.
Greetings from Billings. I worked hard for the last 2 campaigns (even door knocking) and have met the senator a couple times. He’s a good man. This interview with Gloria Allred was so enlightening. I would like to see her out there more. She knows so much from the most important (survivor) point of view. I do have to listen to this on 1.5 speed but that’s just me. Originally being from Chicago, Montanans speak too slow.
This quickly has become my favorite podcast. Wonderful insights about the current state of politics. Entertaining, informative, and the right touch of humor. Well done!
From a fellow native Montanan. Almost every week you state that congress is a co-equal branch of the US government. From my civic class I learned Article 1 - “the people” - is the primary and superior branch. Controls the budget, oversight of executive, war-making power, etc.
Granting the president power over the legislative has created this untenable situation.
