Why we record
Keeping the culture by keeping the stories.
Out here, people show up for each other. A neighbor's hay gets put up when he's laid up. A branding turns into a potluck. A benefit at the fairgrounds fills the hall. That habit of giving didn't come from nowhere, and it doesn't last on its own.
The Lewistown Podcast sits down with the people of Fergus County to hear how they work, what they've seen change, and what they want the next generation to keep. Every episode is an oral record of a way of life, in the voices of the folks living it.
