One Western mountain town an episode, and the one question the brochures won't ask: who gets to stay? Mountain Town Dispatch is an irreverent mix of travelogue, natural history, and barstool confession — each town read through its bars, its food, its trails, and the people fighting to hold onto it, with a geologist's eye for the pressure underneath. No clean villains. No tidy postcards. Just the real story, one fault line at a time. A Summitborn production.

    Revelstoke, BC: Who Gets to Stay

    One mountain town. One question the brochures won't ask: who gets to stay? Revelstoke, British Columbia is a railway town turned powder mecca, wedged between the Selkirks and the Monashees — gorgeous, and quietly coming apart at the seams. Mountain Town Dispatch arrives certain it has the story figured out: charming town, rich outsiders, locals erased. Revelstoke has other ideas. Over a beer at the Village Idiot, a burger nobody who makes it can afford to eat, and a climb up Frisby Ridge, the easy villain falls apart and a harder, truer story takes its place — one about who a beautiful place is really for, told through the people fighting to hold onto it and the deep-time pressures grinding underneath. No clean villains. No tidy postcards. Just the real story, one fault line at a time. A Summitborn production. See our episode page: https://share.transistor.fm/s/474fca95
