    Ms. Rachel at the Sturgis Rally?

    Welcome to the first episode of the Black Hills Gazette Podcast—the Black Hills' most confident source of questionable information. In this episode, we revisit one of our favorite satirical stories: "Sturgis Rally Adds Ms. Rachel to Lineup in Strategic Youth Outreach Initiative." With the average rally attendee getting older, could toddler sing-alongs, juice-box-friendly leather vests, and lessons in emotional regulation be the future of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally? We also talk about the real-life experience of Rally Week in the Black Hills, questionable concert lineups, Corvette drivers, the challenge of attracting younger bikers, and the surprising number of readers who thought the Ms. Rachel announcement was real. The Black Hills Gazette Podcast is a short, anonymous, and slightly questionable look at life in western South Dakota. Each episode features satirical local news, commentary, Black Hills stereotypes, and stories inspired by the people and places that make this region unique.
