Outlaw Beat has emerged from the hibernation of focusing exclusively on Montana State Bobcat football and we are ready to learn all about Eagle Mount, Bozeman’s longtime nonprofit that provides therapeutic recreation for people with disabilities & young people with cancer. 

We’re talking skiing, horseback riding, aquatics, climbing… flying planes? Yeah we’ll get to that one. Board President Christine Baker joins us from Eagle Mount’s campus in South Bozeman that has recently added some acreage.

It all started with therapeutic skiing, but these days they’re offering 2,000 experiences a year in everything from horticulture to live music to fly fishing. They even have a horse simulator Joe got to ride.

For the first time in 41 years, the Montana State Bobcats brought home an FCS national title yesterday, defeating the Illinois State Redbirds 35-34 in overtime. Montana’s Senior U.S. Senator (and MSU alum) Steve Daines joins Outlaw Beat from Washington D.C. to celebrate the thrilling victory.

A lifelong ‘Cats fan who was present in Nashville for the game, Senator Daines looks back on the past and ahead to the bright future of the Bobcats’ football program. We also got off topic and talked about the Senate cloakroom, aliens, and whether or not he reads comments on social media.

Something about playing at altitude just agrees with Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton. After making a name for himself at MSU, he now finds himself one of the NFL’s top tacklers in Denver. 

PBR’s Flint Rasmussen joins Outlaw Beat to help interview Alex about the CFL stint that taught him how to be a pro, his abiding passion for the Cats, and his recent battle with testicular cancer that… well let’s just say these days he’s putting the “single” in Singleton.

The FCS playoffs are underway and after earning a first round bye, the Bobcats are all set for their second round matchup against the pride of the Ivy League Yale Bulldogs. 

Former Cats quarterback Tommy Mellott and former Yale quarterback Jeff Mroz sat down with Outlaw Beat in the middle of Bobcat Stadium to school all of us about college football ahead of the big game.

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. This one doesn’t let you take a breath as we go from the blue zones of Okinawa to saving Sean Connery’s jungle movie to figuring out why dolphins are beaching themselves near cyanobacteria blooms.

Montana State University’s new President Dr. Brock Tessman has only been on the job for a few months but you can already smell what the Brock is cooking! Sorry. From facilities and staff to research and athletics, Dr. Tessman is poised to lead a rapidly growing MSU into uncharted territory. He inherited a great situation thanks to past leadership, but he’s prepared to leave his own distinctive mark.

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.

Earlier this month on Indigenous People’s Day, Montana State University’s Department of Native Studies officially dedicated its new massive permanent arbor behind the building. About 5 years in the making, the arbor highlights the importance of the department’s cultural legacy and its presence on campus. Plus it’s just super pretty.

Outlaw Beat sat down with Department Chair Meredith Hecker, PhD, Riley Rivers of River Landscaping, and Project Manager Jake Berger of Blanton Contracting to discuss the challenges and rewards of undertaking a decidedly different kind of project.
