Big Sky PBR, recently crowned 12-time event of the year, will ride again this July 16-18. And I hope you’re hungry, because the lineup of chefs is a murderers row: James Beard Award winner Eduardo Garcia, Top Chef alum Emily Hahn, plus some of the most acclaimed chefs in the Mountain West and beyond: Sheldon Simeon (Top Chef, touring his second cookbook), Jamie Lynch (Top Chef), Josh Adams of Livingston’s Campione (James Beard nominee), and Jarrett Wrisley of Shan (James Beard nominee). Plus local skybox chefs Joel Gill of Brasa and Keenan Anderson of Joe, with sweets from Daisy Donuts and Stash Cookies.

All in Big Sky, Montana for just three unexpectedly delicious three days. On this episode, we sit down with Eduardo (founder of Montana Mex and host of Magnolia Network's Big Sky Kitchen) and Emily (chef-owner of Bozeman's Mountain Provisions) to talk about what they're cooking up – like whole bison sourced from North Bridger Bison, whole hog, whole lamb, fresh Alaskan seafood, and locally grown produce.

We also get into:

• Eduardo's full origin story — the electrocution, 21 surgeries, cancer diagnosis, and the hook he chose over a bionic hand
• Emily's four years as a commercial shrimper and how she earned her 100-ton captain's license before landing in Bozeman
• Why neither of them could care less about a Michelin star — and why that's exactly the point
• The Low Cuisine game: Eduardo's tia's rural kitchen and Emily's formative years at a sex-drugs-and-rock-and-roll Italian restaurant in Richmond, Virginia.

This is a conversation about what food is actually for — community, land, ranchers, farmers, and the people eating it — told by two chefs who've both taken the long, hard, scenic route to get here.

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.

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.
