He added:

I first heard about Steve Deace through Greg Franks at the Summit Cigar Lounge back here in Montana. He told me, "you gotta follow this guy." Deace has been spot on with the COVID-19 nonsense in particular. Steve Deace hosts one of the top 100 news podcasts in the country...

***LIVE radio show from Red Lodge on Friday. See below for details***. These gateway communities to Yellowstone National Park here in Montana desperately need your support, and your tourism dollars.

Protestors covered both sides of the intersection in front of ZooMontana on Wednesday morning, speaking out against the "Drag Queen Story Hour" event taking place at the zoo.

You're killing me, smalls! This ball game is going to be so fun. One of my all-time favorite summertime Missoula activities is enjoying a warm evening, a cold beverage paired with a stadium hot dog, and watching our own PaddleHeads baseball team take home a win. It’s as American as apple pie. In the last few years the PaddleHeads promotions team has really stepped up their game, making event nights even better for everyone. This Friday they have announced a “Sandlot Style” game against the Great Falls Voyagers, and the promo video via their Facebook is nothing short of hilarious. They even went as far as to mix up the back and forth insults to make it local. There is even a “California” jab in there.

You may have noticed that downtown Missoula is seeing a ton of revitalization. It seems that every corner is either something brand new or an already established place getting a much-needed remodel. Regardless, downtown Missoula is looking fresh. Everywhere you turn, you can find boutiques filled with Montana-made products. Or...

Mee-Wow! A fabulous foursome of irresistible little fur balls made for a delightful edition of Take Me Home Tuesday. It was another visit from the Humane Society of Western Montana today. Jessie brought n four 7-week-old kittens. That is just a fraction of the number of kittens the Humane Society has waiting for forever homes like yours. Today, from abandonment to hope for a good life, we got to meet the "Kitten Construction Team."

I feel like this is one of those headlines that will make people mad before they even read the article. "Missoula is one of the best-run cities in America???!!!," they'll angrily comment. "What about (blank) and (blank) and (blank), and don't get me started on (blank)!" If you're one of...

He has a way of communicating gracefully without compromising his convictions.

It seems like only a few months ago that I would see just an occasional one of these here and there while driving in Missoula. But lately, BOOM! Like flowers in the springtime, they seem to be blooming everywhere. And while this is not a new awareness campaign, nor are its grass roots in Missoula, it appears our town, like so many others, is embracing the simple notion of stating the obvious and reminding motorists to be more courteous and conscientious. It's almost too simple, right?

It has been an interesting spring to say the least. But, here we are, on the eve of the summer solstice. That's right, tomorrow marks the OFFICIAL start to summer, the longest day of the year for us in the northern hemisphere, a time of year when people tend to complain about the summer heat and the need for sunscreen. Meanwhile in Montana, we are hearing about the real possibility of avalanches in Glacier National Park.

I feel like the weather has my internal clock all mixed up. The 4th of July is just two weeks away! But my brain won't accept that to be a fact since we really haven't had any prolonged runs of nice weather leading up to it. As we get set to celebrate another Independence Day, it always brings questions about what we can and can't do when it comes to fireworks around Missoula. It's good to be in the know to avoid any trouble or fines that may come with violating fireworks ordinances.
