Tap 'er Light Aaron Judge

The ButteCast with Bill Foley ·

2022/10/11

The moral police say Aaron Judge is the real home run king. The problem with being part of the moral police, though, is you almost always set yourself up to be a hypocrite.

The ButteCast with Bill Foley ·

2022/10/09

Cathy Tutty can name off all 10 of the children of Tom and Kay Tutty without hesitation, Good Will Hunting style. Unlike Will, however, Tutty’s siblings are real. “Real” is a good word to define Cathy, the older sister to the Tutty clan of Butte. A bright and talented lawyer, Tutty dedicates most of her time helping others. While she helped send many criminals to prison in her days as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney, she found a better life living close to her roots in the Mining City. She is the

Mickey Tuttle helped lead Butte High's boys' basketball team to the Class AA State title with a win over Great Falls High on St. Patrick's Day 1984.

Mike Hamblin is a renowned artist whose work can be seen all over town, around the state and beyond. He painted portraits of Bob Green, Colt Anderson, Pat Kearney and the legends of Naranche Stadium. Mike turned his Walkerville garage into an incredible studio/hangout area/living area that seems to take you back to the 1800s. If they had projection TVs in the 1800s, that is.

The ButteCast with Bill Foley ·

2022/09/27

Podcast No. 5: Rat Chat

The ButteCast with Bill Foley ·

2022/09/23

Today’s podcast is a bit of a reunion. Matt Vincent and I wrote a column called Rat Chat for The Montana Standard for about seven years starting in December of 1998.

Podcast No. 4: Karen Sullivan

The ButteCast with Bill Foley ·

2022/09/22

While some might see her as the “Karen” who canceled Butte’s St. Patrick’s Day celebration during the COVID-19 pandemic, we see her as the strong, courageous leader whose work helped save lives. It is hard to say how many lives Sullivan and her crew saved when she was serving as Butte-Silver Bow’s health officer. But it could have been yours. Or mine. Without question, she is no ordinary Karen. Opening music by Tim Montana. For more from the Elk Park native, go to timmontana.com. For more from Bill
