Best Dam Podcast

Rebecca and Mari are a great and entertaining duo. I’ve lived in Great Falls almost my whole live (#bestdamtown) and I learn more about this area every episode.

Where’s the dam expert?

When will the dam expert be on?

Not an expert either ,

Pretty funny and educational

Great to listen to. And Rebecca is right, Mari doesn’t have a voice for radio. Works fine on a podcast though.
