We’re talking home building and AI-proof trades for Gen Z with President of Southwest Montana Building Industry Association slash owner of Rivers Landscaping Riley Rivers and Career Outreach Coordinator for Bozeman and Gallatin High Schools Karl Schwartz, architect of the new Bozeman Construction Academy.Riley breaks down the real inputs driving building costs in the Gallatin Valley: materials, labor, land, fuel, permit delays, government regulation, and the cost of holding land while projects wait for approval. Karl explains how the Construction Academy gives high school students hands-on trades experience, college credit through Gallatin College, and job-site readiness before they graduate.They also get into why construction careers are much broader than “swinging a hammer,” why AI is not about to install sprinkler lines on a Big Sky hillside, and how private industry support helped launch a public-school trades program. Then Joe makes Riley and Karl play a deeply unserious but weirdly educational price-per-square-foot guessing game featuring storage units, Bozeman homes, Costco, Yellowstone Club, coffee shacks, the Las Vegas Sphere, and the International Space Station.Watch the full interview: ExploreBigSky.com/episodes/swmbiaJoin SWMBIA: SWMBIA.orgSupport the Construction Academy: BozemanConstructionAcademy.orgAnd get your Big Sky Community Rodeo tickets here: BigSkyPBR.comFollow us on instagram: @outlawbeatpodcastOur barn at EBS: https://www.explorebigsky.com/outlaw-podcastsHelp us corral more listeners like yourself by subscribing and then reviewing us wherever you get your podcasts.Still need more links?

Big Sky, Montana is technically unincorporated — no town council, no mayor — yet it generates $25 million a year in resort tax revenue and just became the most taxable community in the state. We sat down with Daniel Bierschwale, Executive Director of Big Sky Resort Area District (BSRAD), to break down how resort taxes work, what the new hospital district means for residents, and why Big Sky is essentially funding two teachers per school district across all 391 Montana school districts.And while we’re talking dirty details, Karl Johnson, owner of YES Compost, joins to explain what vermicomposting is. It’s hundreds of thousands of worms eating your food scraps and pooping out garden gold. We talk worm aversions (no citrus, no onions, definitely no diapers), scaling from 10 lbs of worms to a city-wide composting operation, and the one commercial client who really should have read the green bucket guidelines.This episode was made possible by the Big Sky Chamber of Commerce, for your enjoyment and information.Watch the full interview: ExploreBigSky.com/episodes/yesbsradLearn more about Big Sky Resort Tax: ResortTax.orgAnd sign up for YES Compost here: YesCompost.comTopics covered: Big Sky resort tax | BSRAD | Montana local government | vermicomposting | worm castings | Big Sky housing | hospital district | Gallatin Valley composting | Big Sky Chamber of CommerceFollow us on instagram: @outlawbeatpodcastOur barn at EBS: https://www.explorebigsky.com/outlaw-podcastsHelp us corral more listeners like yourself by subscribing and then reviewing us wherever you get your podcasts.Still need more links?

Aaron Flint is a retired Army lieutenant colonel with two Bronze Stars, a former conservative talk radio host who spent a decade taking calls from Montanans for four hours a day, and the Republican frontrunner for Montana's open House seat in the western district. And even if he’s qualified, he’s not particularly excited about going to Washington.We sat down with Flint in Bozeman to talk about why he's running anyway — and what he actually plans to do once he gets there. We covered public lands and whether he'll pick up where Ryan Zinke left off, his Trump endorsement (and what it means when the guy who gave it to you becomes less popular), housing costs, tariffs, AI data centers eating up Montana electricity, and what it was like to be one of the only white guys walking across the Howard University campus in Washington D.C.Whether you're a Flint voter, a Flint skeptic, or just someone who wants to know who could be representing western Montana in Congress, this is worth a listen.Watch the full interview: ExploreBigSky.com/episodes/aaronflintMake sure you’re registered to vote: VoteMT.gov/voter-registration/And register now for the 2nd Annual Running of the Bulls trail race in Big Sky bigskypbr.com/event/running-of-the-bulls/Follow us on instagram: @outlawbeatpodcastOur barn at EBS: https://www.explorebigsky.com/outlaw-podcastsHelp us corral more listeners like yourself by subscribing and then reviewing us wherever you get your podcasts.Still need more links?

On this episode, we head deep into Montana ranch country with the Ranchers Stewardship Alliance to figure out how an industry built on horses and grit is now running on GPS collars, data uploads, and conservation science. It’s part cowboy, part tech startup—and somehow still hanging on.We get into the real pressures threatening ranching today: skyrocketing land prices, outside development, environmental shifts, and the uncomfortable reality that most ranchers are pushing 60. What happens when the people feeding the country start aging out?At the same time, ranchers are doing something you probably didn’t expect—they’re quietly some of the biggest players in wildlife conservation, habitat restoration, and land management in the American West.And we also touch on the day-to-day realities of ranch life – pulling calves, dealing with predators, and occasionally even bringing animals back to life.Watch the full interview: ExploreBigSky.com/episodes/ranchersLearn more about and join the RSA: RanchStewards.orgAnd Give Big April 30-May 1: GiveBigGV.orgFollow us on instagram: @outlawbeatpodcastOur barn at EBS: https://www.explorebigsky.com/outlaw-podcastsHelp us corral more listeners like yourself by subscribing and then reviewing us wherever you get your podcasts.Still need more links?

After the winter that wasn’t, we’re all wondering how extreme wildfire season will be this summer. On this episode, Outlaw Beat is joined by a fire behavior analyst who is qualified to give us answers to all our burning questions.Jon Trapp is the Division Chief of Wildland Fire at Big Sky Fire Department and he is fresh off a regional planning meeting for western wildfires, so it’s a great time to find out what he knows so we’re all prepared for what’s in store.Jon talks about the various conditions and weather patterns that are lining up against us, wildfire tendencies you should definitely be aware of, plus the technological advances that are giving firefighters an edge they’ve never had before.And we don’t let Jon leave without having him answer fireman questions poorly written by children.Watch the full interview: ExploreBigSky.com/episodes/fireBrush up on the Wildfire Action Guide here: https://bigskyfire.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/2022HE-Big-Sky-Evacuation-Guide-R3-SINGLES.pdfAnd Give Big April 30-May 1: GiveBigGV.orgFollow us on instagram: @outlawbeatpodcastOur barn at EBS: https://www.explorebigsky.com/outlaw-podcastsHelp us corral more listeners like yourself by subscribing and then reviewing us wherever you get your podcasts.Still need more links?

The Rocky Mountain area isn’t known for its lakes, but there’s one we’re all pretty proud of. It’s everyone’s favorite terminal saline lake: Utah’s Great Salt Lake that, sadly, is getting less and less great every year.To find out why it’s shrinking, why that matters, and what we can do to turn things around, Outlaw Beat talks to lake expert Eric Edwards, senior fellow at PERC (the Property and Environment Research Center) and associate professor of agricultural and resource economics at UC Davis.Eric dispels some major myths about the state of the lake, like how much climate change is to blame and the practicality of some of the “magic bullet” solutions that are floating around out there.This episode matters if you care about the wildlife, clean skies, and winter sports that make Utah a special place to visit or live.Watch the full interview: ExploreBigSky.com/episodes/GreatSaltLakeRead more about PERC’s work with the Great Salt Lake: https://perc.org/2025/04/11/optimism-for-the-great-salt-lake-starts-with-water-leasing/And attend the Lone Peak Film Festival in Big Sky Sept. 17-20!

For 90 years, the Bridger Ski Foundation has promoted, organized, and created opportunities for skiing as an activity in the Gallatin Valley. And up to this point, it has done so without a building to call a homebase. Just schlepping gear from van to storage closet to garage to ski-swap like Nordic nomads.But that changes now. Board President Natalie Flowers and Board Member Peter Belschwender host Outlaw Beat at the worksite on Gold Ave that is soon to be BSF’s permanent home – “The Base” – to discuss the countless lives that have been touched and trails that have been groomed by the organization.All of this has been made possible by the incredible generosity of donors, but there are still opportunities to help with the build and get your name on it.Learn more, donate, and volunteer with BSF here: BridgerSkiFoundation.orgWatch the full interview: hoarymarmot.net/episodes/bsfAnd learn more about the vote to create a Big Sky Wellness District here: BigSkyWellnessDistrict.orgFollow us on instagram: @outlawbeatpodcastOur barn at EBS: https://www.explorebigsky.com/outlaw-podcastsHelp us corral more listeners like yourself by subscribing and then reviewing us wherever you get your podcasts.Still need more links?

We’re talking about what makes the American West different (for better and for worse) in this episode with help from local historian and author Dr. Betsy Gaines Quammen. Her latest book “True West: Myth & Mending on the Far Side of America” explores how myths of the American West fuel modern polarization, extremism, and conflict over land and identity. Betsy’s area of expertise is extremism and land disputes in Western communities, so the conversation touches on Ruby Ridge and the Bundy family all the way to January 6 and beyond. You might be surprised by what we all have in common – namely a love for public land and a distaste for Utah Senator Mike Lee.Watch the full interview: hoarymarmot.net/episodes/quammenBetsy has a wonderful writing style that adds color to historical events and makes them relevant in the current time.

As you well know, we don’t normally publish episodes that are “smart” or “important” but this one fell into our lap, so here we are. Dr. Paul Alan Cox is a world-renowned ethnobotanist who has dedicated his life to understanding and curing the most mystifying brain diseases like Alzheimer’s, ALS, and Parkinsons.Dr. Cox’s nonprofit Brain Chemistry Labs is an unassuming building across from Whole Foods in Jackson Hole (WY) but it is staffed by a dazzling array of scientific rock stars performing research that may allow all of us to live longer, and will lead to decreases in the occurrence and severity of cognitive disorders. Right? We are well aware that we are idiots who have no business covering this story. Dr Cox has conducted research all over the place – Harvard, Guam, Samoa, BYU, Ogimi – but kinda likes the Rocky Mountains, so that’s where he set up shop.

Put a sport coat on over your flannel because we’re learning all about Montana Chamber Music, the local program that’s bringing top tier classical talent to Bozeman and all over rural Montana.Artistic Director Angella Ahn (of the Ahn Trio) joins us to discuss bringing fancy chamber music to far flung ranches and she’s joined by two visiting virtuosos Kenji Bunch (composer, violist) and Monica Ohuchi (pianist).These three all met while they were studying at Juilliard, so you know they’re legit. We learn that the difference between chamber music and orchestral music has to do with bodily functions. Also, if you think regular airline travel is a pain, try doing it with a $5,000 viola. Stick around until the end because Angella and Monica join Kenji to play a song he wrote and it’s just lovely.Watch the full interview video: hoarymarmot.net/episodes/mcmLearn more and enjoy some Montana Chamber Music: https://montanachambermusic.orgKeep Bunching: https://www.kenjibunch.netAnd honor America’s veterans and active-duty heroes by attending the Warriors & Quiet Waters’ Salute to Service: A Night to Remember. https://my.onecause.com/event/organizations/9d7945e1-4fbb-4c16-a8cc-5ad1d1869c78/events/vevt:4d4eb5f8-3c4f-423d-ae8c-b1fe4f918dbb/home/storyFollow us on instagram: @outlawbeatpodcastOur barn at EBS: https://www.explorebigsky.com/outlaw-podcastsHelp us corral more listeners like yourself by subscribing and then reviewing us wherever you get your podcasts.Still need more links?
