Commotion Podcast

What does it take to become a world champion in competitive BBQ?

This week on Commotion Podcast, we sit down with Dennis Bowman of Bowman's Butt & BBQ to talk about his journey into competitive barbecue, the wins, the losses, and everything that happens behind the smoker.

Dennis is a 2020 KCBS Backyard World Champion and a 2021 SCA Steak & Ancillary Gold Ticket Winner. We get into the world of BBQ competitions, cooking techniques, brisket, ribs, steaks, and what separates backyard barbecue from championship-level cooking.

Of course, we also get into plenty of good stories, laughs, and the kind of conversation that makes Commotion what it is.

Whether you're a competitive pitmaster, a backyard BBQ enthusiast, or someone who just appreciates good food and good people, pull up a chair and join us.

In this episode of Commotion Podcast, we sit down with Tim Brown, candidate for Montgomery County Sheriff in Montgomery County, Virginia, for a conversation that goes beyond campaign talking points. We talk about his background, his experience, law enforcement, leadership, public safety, the challenges facing Montgomery County, and what motivated him to run for Sheriff.

But this isn't a debate or a political commercial.

Commotion Podcast is about sitting down with people from our community and having genuine conversations. We wanted to give Tim the opportunity to tell his story, talk about the experiences that shaped him, and let voters get to know the person behind the campaign.

If you live in Christiansburg, Blacksburg, Riner, Shawsville, Elliston, Prices Fork, or anywhere in Montgomery County and the New River Valley, this is a conversation worth hearing as voters learn more about the candidates for Montgomery County Sheriff.
