Formally Hoary Marmot podcast, Outlaw Beat brings local news, lifestyle and humor to the ears
OUTLAW PARTNERS
Outlaw Partners is excited to announce the official rebrand of its popular podcast Explore Big Sky with Hoary Marmot to Outlaw Beat. The name change brings the show under the broader Outlaw media umbrella, aligning it more closely with Outlaw’s family of brands including Explore Big Sky, Mountain Outlaw, Explore Yellowstone and Town Crier.
Outlaw Beat is proud to provide the community with stories from the West. It’s the unique, authentic storytelling that listeners have come to love, now with even stronger ties to the voice of the Greater Yellowstone community. The podcast focuses on the news, lifestyle and characters shaping southwest Montana and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, blending informative reporting with humor and heart.
Longtime Big Sky local Michelle Veale Borden (Broad Comedy) and her husband, TV comedy writer Joe Borden (Tosh.0), co-host the show. With their insider knowledge and signature wit, the duo makes each episode both engaging and enlightening. From local headlines to in-depth interviews with fascinating personalities, Outlaw Beat delivers real stories with a light touch. Guests have included, alpine ski legend Bode Miller, rodeo star–turned–country musician Chancey Williams, the Montana State University Rodeo Team and stock contractor and reality TV alum Cord McCoy. They’ve also interviewed a 9-year-old motocross star, international singer-songwriter Kishi Bashi during his residency with the Bozeman Symphony, and a local Bozeman man who had his jaw ripped off by a grizzly bear—and survived to tell the tale.
“We’re thrilled to have become an increasingly important part of Outlaw’s offerings and this change will give us better footing to tell compelling, entertaining stories,” said Joe.
“I already changed my beautiful last name to Borden—ugh—and now you guys are making me change the name of my podcast? When will it stop?!” Michelle added.
Listeners can expect weekly episodes, packed with timely news and stories that matter to the local community. The show remains available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube, and is actively promoted through Explore Big Sky, Outlaw Partners’ website, and social media channels. The rebrand is part of Outlaw Partners’ broader mission to create a cohesive, recognizable network of media that serves the dynamic and growing audience in and around the Yellowstone region.
