Hello, and welcome back to the Shadows Run Podcast! Today's guest is Lena Marie Schiffer, a folk singer and songwriter based in Livingston, Montana. After spending ten years touring nationally with the band Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs, she has since embarked on a solo career, performing under her own name and continuing to pursue her passion for songwriting and connecting with an audience.

In this conversation we talk about... * Lena's journey to professional musicianship * her songwriting process * the experience of releasing her debut solo album, House Of Sky * the vulnerability of songwriting and sharing art with the world * two of my favorite songs off the album, and Lena talks about what those songs represent for her * the process of finding her new bandmates and what she values in the people she chooses to create with * the role of ego in music * Lena's thoughts on the role of art and music in society broadly * and what's next for the band!

EP 57: AI, Data Centers, And Community Organizing with Matt Kortan

Hello, and welcome back to the Shadows Run Podcast! This episode features a conversation with Bozeman-based educator and community organizer Matt Kortan. I was introduced to Matt back in February at a public meeting held at the library here in Bozeman. Matt was one of two presenters hosting a discussion about the current status of AI data center development in Montana, the issues and concerns attendant to these developments, and ways Bozeman DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) proposes addressing them. In this conversation we discuss... * the current (known) data center developments underway in Montana * what are data centers, anyway? * Montana's energy monopoly - Northwestern Energy - and the Public Service Commission's role in regulating them * concerns about increased energy demands on Montana's grid, and where an increased energy supply would come from * data centers' impacts on water, wildlife, and the economy * the status of the opposition to data centers in Montana and beyond * what Matt feels hopeful about * ...and a whole lot more Thanks so much for joining us! ***Podcast Patreon Page!***: https://patreon.com/shadowsrun?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink [https://patreon.com/shadowsrun?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink] Bozeman DSA: https://bozemandsa.org/ [https://bozemandsa.org/] National DSA: https://www.dsausa.org/ [https://www.dsausa.org/] Montana Environmental Information Center (MEIC): https://meic.org/ [https://meic.org/] Sign MEIC's Data Center Petition: www.meic.org/data-centers [http://www.meic.org/data-centers] Montana Public Service Commission (PSC): https://www.psc.mt.gov/ [https://www.psc.mt.gov/] Sunrise Movement: https://www.sunrisemovement.org/ [https://www.sunrisemovement.org/] I love to hear from you!
