It was the crime that took the entire nation by storm: four University of Idaho students killed in the middle of the night--in the same home--by knife. The scene was gruesome and the entire community in Moscow continues to heal since these crimes were committed. With a suspect, Bryan Kohberger, now serving a life sentence following a guilty plea, the regular new coverage of this case on television around the world has died down.

When it comes to famous foods in Montana, we have a few. There is the pasty, the huckleberry, the Flat Head Cherry, and a few others. It seems that all across the United States of America there are favorites from the different states or regions that are fan favorites. However, according to one source, a Montana favorite is considered one of the most overrated foods in the country.

Dogs in a Pile, an indie jam quintet that is amid a robust summer tour and coming off the November release of their album, Distroid, is on a steady ascent and leveling up in real time. Diffuser sat down with Jeremy Kaplan (keys) and Sam Lucid (bass) to chat about life on tour, music, the Dogpound, and more.

If you ask me, Taste of Home Magazine made a massive mistake recently. They released a list of the best old-school drive-ins in the country, and Livingston's very own Mark’s In & Out wasn't even on it. Honestly? It's an absolute abomination. However, if you talk to the regulars who line up there every summer, they probably won't complain too much. National attention usually just means longer lines, and the wait for these burgers is already an annual tradition.

If you’re planning a fly fishing trip to Montana this summer, it’s time to rethink your daily schedule. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) has officially expanded its "hoot-owl" restrictions across several iconic rivers in the southwest and north-central parts of the state. These emergency rules are triggered when water temperatures hit 73°F (or higher) for three consecutive days. When temperatures climb toward 77°F, it becomes highly stressful, and even lethal, for cold water trout.

Living and visiting Montana comes with certain risks. One of the biggest risks involves wildlife. Here in Big Sky Country, we have a few different animals that call Montana home. Of course, one of the most popular is the Bison. You've no doubt seen the footage by now of the visitor at Yellowstone National Park that was hurled several feet into the air by a Bison that seemed a little bit upset.

We're in the thick of summer and for a lot of people, that means getting out and enjoying what our communities have to offer. For some, that includes letting the kids roam our neighborhoods freely until the sun goes down and for the most part, you're okay to do that! Still - it's important to stay aware about what's going on around us. Anything can happen at any moment. Crime Crackdown in Montana By now, you've probably heard about the statewide crackdown on drugs and crime in Montana.

Whether it's on a hot summer afternoon, during a crisp fall football weekend, or even on a cool spring evening, there's rarely a bad time to enjoy a great craft beer. Living in Montana, we're lucky to have no shortage of incredible breweries. It seems like every corner of the state has someone brewing something worth trying. While my taste buds may not qualify me as a professional beer judge, I do know one thing. Montana breweries continue to earn recognition from the people who are.

I try to stay out of politics as much as I can, but there's one issue that seems to come up every year because it affects nearly all of us in Montana. It really doesn't matter what you do for a living. It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, young or old. Whether you have a job or you're retired. Almost everyone is affected by the time change twice a year.
