		<itunes:summary>Welcome to 2013 and the first episode of the new year, and the new session. This show started because the 2011 Legislature of Montana was filled with insanity and crazy, and part of the problem was that people don&#039;t know their representatives or their senators. So we get to meet them here.

Freshman Representative Schwaderer, or &quot;Schwad&quot; as he&#039;s commonly referred to, joins us to talk about running for office, facing the press, and getting things done. If you&#039;d like to contact him, you can reach him via his Facebook, Twitter, or via legislative services profile.</itunes:summary>

		<itunes:summary>The Editor of the Helena Vigilante, Shane Castle,  joins us this week to discuss the changes in the media, how the news is changing, his favorite stories and a bit about how he sees the news reaching the engaged. From fires to coal to just interesting things around Helena, the Vigilante is filling a void that&#039;s been left open too long.

Also, this is the final show of 2012, and we&#039;ll be back in 2013, sometime around January 15th or so, with new episodes and hopefully a bunch of awesome people to chat with as the 63rd Legislature kicks off here in Montana.</itunes:summary>

		<itunes:summary>One of the first people I met when I moved back to Helena in 2006 was Carl Kochman, who has turned out to be one of the most interesting, intelligent and wise people I&#039;ve ever met. His love is engineering and Harley-Davidson, and his passion about communications and getting things right has led him to be involved with many of the legislative sessions we&#039;ve had since the 1980s. He&#039;s a great guy, with a ton of great insight, and I know you&#039;ll enjoy the show!</itunes:summary>

We got a chance to sit and chat about what&#039;s right in the world of politics, what&#039;s wrong, and where she thinks it can go. Kim&#039;s thoughtfulness and experience, and her desire to do nothing more than the best that Montana can ask for, is evident. She&#039;s poised, funny, involved, and focused. I&#039;m excited to have had her on the show, and I know she&#039;ll represent all of Montana as well as she represented her district in Billings at the state legislature.

		<itunes:summary>Education is so important in Montana that it&#039;s a part of our constitution in a way that unique when it was ratified. Many other states have followed Montana&#039;s lead when it comes to how important we view education, and having an elected State Superintendent is a big part of that. With that said, we have the Republican candidate for the office, Sandy Welch, on the show to discuss why she&#039;s in politics, what she wants to change, and what the office really can do. Enjoy!

		<itunes:summary>Would you want to be in politics your entire adult life? Not many would, and it&#039;s sometimes seen as a bad thing, as one does begin to wonder if you&#039;re in it to help the world or to help yourself. I, too, wondered the same thing about Jesse, but as you&#039;ll find out, he&#039;s just a really cool guy. His motivations for politics are humble and honest, and while he may not be your cup of tea, you can&#039;t fault the guy for trying his best. And honestly, more politicians need to spend some time reflecting on why they do what they do. Meet Jesse Laslovich, candidate for the AG&#039;s office in Montana.

		<itunes:summary>This week&#039;s guest is the Executive Director of the Montana GOP, Bowen Greenwood. He&#039;s been around politics all his life, and while he no longer thinks he can solve all the world&#039;s issues in one fell swoop, he&#039;s still in it to change things for the better. Being the ED of a state party is a bunch of work you&#039;d never guess, and even more surprisingly, there are several things people presume the parties do that they actually just don&#039;t. You&#039;ll probably learn more than you think when you hear this episode. Enjoy!

		<itunes:summary>Well, the show is a tad shorter than most, because Franke Wilmer was kind enough to carve out a quick half-hour after the Rally to Stop The War On Women just this last Saturday to join us on the show. Franke has an amazing story, having worked as a waitress and in several other service-industry roles for 16 years, while finishing her undergraduate and graduate studies, and is now a professor at MSU. Her work in foreign policy and human rights is outstanding and her goal is to lead us to a better place.

		<itunes:summary>Ken Miller is running for governor of Montana and has been in politics since the early 1990s. He and his wife have started and worked, and sometimes sold, various successful businesses in and around Laurel, and the reason he got into politics is both related to his business ventures, and is so brilliantly Montanan you can&#039;t help but like him. Ken is also the first Republican that has been on the show, and as you can hear, I&#039;m not out to get anyone. Enjoy the show, and listen to someone who really is in this for the right reasons. We need more people like Ken in politics!

		<itunes:summary>Why leave to improve the world when there are ways to do it right near your home? Good Question! I wish I asked it. Amanda is a high-school math teacher in the lovely town of Butte, U.S.A. She brings a ton of community service and Montana history into the race for House District 76. She&#039;s been working on helping Butte grow since she arrived there just after she graduated high school in Billings - a true native Montanan, with Butte in her soul.

		<itunes:summary>Kelsen Young has been around politics her entire life, and has actively lobbied the legislature for several years. Her work as the Executive Director of the Montana Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence has given her plenty of insight into our current political climate and, perhaps more importantly, a desire to change it. It&#039;s our first real episode of PoliticktickBOOM, and we&#039;re happy to have Kelsen as our inaugural guest.
