Kris Edwards

I was born in the southern U.S. and raised by a 21 year Marine Corps Vietnam Vet and his hard working, successful, Tennessee born bride. They set the bar pretty high for their three kids...so I decided to just walk under it and go into radio at age 16. After years of "town to town, up and down the dial", I made my way to Billings in 2005. That turned out to be the best decision I ever made. It lead to a great job, and the love of my life, my daughter, Eliana. I'm happy to be raising her in a place with a great mix of conservative family values and progressive ideas about inclusion and embracing the differences in people (provided they are not too liberal or from California).

EVERYTHING You Need to Know About Billings Biggest Garage Sale June 2022

Every year Billings Biggest Garage Sale draws new buyers and sellers and I thought it would be handy to point out a few things that first timers may not know.

“Dad Skills” On The Decline

Will Pence’s Visit Help Billings’ Meth Problem?

Will Pence's visit on Wednesday (6/12/19) help Meth addiction in our state? The quick answer is no. The visit itself won't do anything, which is why I am hoping he lays out an actionable plan that makes sense. This problem isn't just a Montana issue, it's an American epidemic. It has wreaked havoc in my hometown and I would really love to hear a solution that makes sense. Not only have a heard a plan that I think will work, I can't even conceive of one.

Three Reasons I’ll Miss IGA

IGA was actually my store of choice. Don't get me wrong, it's not the only place I shop, but it's where I shop the most and here are the reasons:

Loud Fire Drill Scheduled For Tonight at Billings Airport

I'm not sure how far down into town the alarms will make it, but if you know someone who lives near the airport you might want to let them know...or be mean and tell them there is a conflict with North Korea and to take shelter if they hear an alarm.

How I Make The Perfect Burger

First off, you have to start with the right meat. It needs to be 80/20. I know many are tempted to buy the extra lean stuff either for health reasons, or because they assume since it costs more it tastes better...not the case with burgers. If you start with that 93% lean stuff, you'll end up with dry, crumbly burgers. As far as seasoning the meat goes, here's all I do:

Making Homemade Drinks With A Ginger Bug

If you've never had homemade Ginger Ale or Root Beer, you're missing out. You can actually make some delicious fizzy beverages without having to buy anything special and it all starts with a thing called a "ginger bug".

Kentucky Derby Party This Saturday (May 4th)

Montana has plenty of horse fanatics, but almost none of them will make it to Louisville to watch the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. So, here's the next best thing: The Billings Derby Party.
