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

I first met Chris at Pride Montana 2012, and it’s always amazing to find our allies are everywhere. Chris’ interest in politics stems from personal reasons, but his passion and his thoughtfulness reach far beyond the walls of his life. Join us as we discuss the politics of the day, and if you’re so inclined, you can follow Chris on Twitter – @ChrisMoraIV

How many people do you know that have contributed to raising EIGHT-HUNDRED-MILLION BUCKS?! Well, on today’s show you get to meet one! Linda McCulloch has been an amazing member of the electorate in Montana, and her passion and wit have been put to full use in service to the citizens of Montana. You’re definitely going to enjoy this show!

Education is so important in Montana that it’s a part of our constitution in a way that unique when it was ratified. Many other states have followed Montana’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’s in politics, what she wants to change, and what the office really can do. Enjoy!

This is another Very Special Episode™ of the show, with two guests, Don Pogreba of Intelligent Discontent, and Dustin Hurst of Watchdog.org. The whole reason for this show is that yesterday my Twitter stream blew up with an on-going bit of rather heated, interesting banter between these two fine gentlemen, and I thought, you know, I bet I have a better forum for this. And I do. I hope you enjoy the show as much as I did!

Once again, I’m joined by Ed Zimple, and we have a special announcement about some new fun things happening. So sit back, grab a tasty beverage and enjoy the show! (Also, sorry it’s a day late. It’s been a zoo around here.)

It’s my pleasure to present the first Round Table here at PolticktickBOOM, with the most awesome panel of guests – Kelsen Young, Mike Miller, Derek Brown & Ed Zimpel. Join us as we handicap the current political landscape, the races, the players, movers, shakers and ideas that are going to hit everyone square in the face come November. It’s an episode like no other – except that once again, I started it with an “um”. Alas.

In a maelstrom that can only be described as biblical, Dustin burst onto the political scene in Montana. He really didn’t mean to, and it certainly was entertaining, but the smoke has cleared and the dust has settled, and it’s now a chance to find out the man behind the myth. This week’s guest, like you can’t already guess, is Dustin Hurst, of watchdog.org. Listen in, you might be totally surprised!

Well, the political season is now in full-swing, and it’s only going to go faster. This week, I’m joined by Jenny Eck, the Democrat running for HD 82, not only won her primary, she did it against two other Democrats. It’s going to be a great race for the seat, and after you hear why she’s in politics, you can’t help but like her.

Well, the primaries are over, and it’s time to get back to it. Why not kick off the real election cycle with an awesome conversation with one of the most wonderful people I know – Linda Vaughey. She currently is part of the Redistricting Commission, and has been in and around politics for many years. I think you’ll enjoy the show.
