Montana's Attorney General Austin Knudsen paid us a visit to discuss his perspectives about growing up in rural Roosevelt County, his desire to study law, being accepted to and graduating from the University of Montana school of law, and navigating the line between law enforcement and the judiciary as both a district attorney for Roosevelt County and as Attorney General over the last four years. Join us in welcoming him to the podcast, and we hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as Austin and Jesse did having it!
